Vikingetogtet (The Viking Expedition) is a comedic exploration game with learning aspects about the history/culture of Vikings and silly physics-based minigames, targetted to younger kids of ages 6-8. It was developed by Portaplay for DR, Denmark''s public TV network.

Engine: Unity

Platforms: Android and IOS

Development time: February 2023 - September 2023

The game was meant to be released to accompany DR's new historical TV series about Vikings, but it has not been made officially available to the public as of yet.

Apart from some initial R&D around ragdolls, I was the only programmer on the project, being solely responsible for bringing it fully from initial setup and prototyping, all the way to a candidate build ready for release.

Example of systems/features that I created:

• Scene loading management system.
• Saving/loading progress data locally on the device.
• An audio system that was turned into a reusable Unity package for future projects of similar nature within the company.
• A sequencing event system to handle sequential tutorials and instruction events.
• Controlling ragdolls and creating physics based gameplay and session logic for five different minigames.
• UI display panels and animations.
• Setup of 3D navmesh world and layers along with camera manipulation.

Technologies that I got familiar with during this project:

• Google play and Apple IOS stores - setup, managing test and release channels
• Ragdoll controls
• Overall project setup
