Team Chonky
Theme / Purpose
“Chonky”. We chose this as our team name because it seemed to be the most fitting with our chosen project. Additionally, we all love cats. :3
Product
Chonky-19
Chonky-19 is the name of our project 3D shooter game created in Unity with a theme of COVID-19. We wanted to focus our game on the current pandemic as it is still a prevalent issue, hopefully educating our users on how to stay safe during this time.
Our game can be accessed on itch.io, here. Anybody can play it through the WebGL web player version. But we also provided a download link to the Windows version (unfortunately no Mac due to Unity’s developer license).
Inspiration
Our team was formed based on our love for game development. On top of our common interest in cats, we all wanted to create a project that had some sort of societal impact. While we could have created some web application, we decided to combine this interest in games + our motivation to create an impact into creating this COVID-19 inspired game.
