Equinox: Security Breach

Systems Designer, Programmer, Producer

Equinox: Security Breach is a 2v2 asymmetric action game inspired by games like Counter Strike and Splinter Cell’s Spies vs. Mercs mode. One team plays as sneaky infiltrators, armed with nothing but abilities geared towards escape, night vision goggles, and their wits, whose goal is to capture intelligence, while the other team plays as armed defenders who must stop the intruders at all costs, but can’t see as well in the dark. Equinox was developed in March and April of 2019.

As a Systems Designer, Programmer, & Producer for Equinox, my contributions included:

• Developed and balanced two completely distinct teams and four unique abilities in order to create an even playing field in spite of asymmetric abilities & information.

• Designed and implemented team-oriented abilities in order to promote active, teamwork-focused playstyles and communication over passive lone-wolf styles

• Rapidly iterated on game design and balance to meet weekly deadlines in an 8-week project period, prioritizing based on weekly playtests and feedback.
