WINDOWS XP SIMULATOR / WXPS

this game is no longer worked on, it's final update has been released.

my very first big project developed in Unity/C#! feel as if you're using a Windows XP computer with this realistic simulator! This game is intended as a joke, it is in no way an emulation of an actual operating OS.

BEHID THE SCENES / BTS

this game was essentially my stepping stone into indie game development, i had always messed around with Unity and other game engines, but never had a project to work on from start to finish.

MY RESPONSIBILITY / TASKS

learnt to use Unity (2017) to create a game from the ground up. managed the launch of the game, publishing it to the Google Playstore, and handling promotion. created hidden "easter eggs" throughout the game for players to discover.

created updates, introducing new content, walkthroughs, achievements, and easter eggs. implemented AdMob to display ads within the game, generating a small revenue for myself.
