Projects: Wholemeal Sandwiches

During a game jam, our team of three developed a whimsical fantasy sandwich-making simulator designed specifically for the Google Daydream VR platform—a device we were using for the first time. The game put players in the shoes of a magical sandwich shop owner, challenged to serve as many hungry adventurers as possible before nightfall. With an infinite queue of customers craving fantastical creations like Gargouda, Dragonmeat, and tomato, the gameplay combined fast-paced decision-making with lighthearted humor, immersing players in a unique culinary adventure.

The game jam was a success, providing a crash course in collaborative development under tight deadlines. We quickly set up a source-controlled environment and leveraged Unreal Engine to create a polished and engaging VR experience. This project not only strengthened our technical skills in VR and game design but also underscored the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and creativity in bringing ideas to life within constraints.
