Viva Los Muertos

A 5-reel video slot machine game featuring a Dia de los Muertos theme featuring a free spin bonus with a sixth-reel multiplier, multi-level pick bonus, and symbol upgrade bonus.

My second game with Multimedia Games, I was originally scheduled to assist with only the symbol upgrade bonus. However, as the schedules of other programmers slotted for the game were tight with other projects, I ended up taking on the full development of the game. I quickly learned the skills that I needed to accomplish this and ended up bringing the project in ahead of schedule. Techniques I utilized for the gameplay in this project included tweens, splines, masks, and stencils.

Working on this game, I gained valuable experience in iterative development and software design patterns. I worked directly with an artist and sound designer, QA analyst, and a development lead as necessary to review my designs and implementations.
