About CuiCui
CuiCui was developed by six students at the Savannah College of Art and Design as their undergraduate final. On this project I was the design and team lead, scrum product owner and assistant programmer.
CuiCui is an adventure platformer in which the player takes on the role of Cui, a tiny bird who travels through ancient man-made structures and fantastical landscapes. The player will overcome platforming challenges, solve puzzles and engage in a dramatic story to prevent the heat-collapse of their world.
