Demon Slumber Party is a narrative-based, micro-game marathon that was developed along-side the rest of my team at Whispered Eclipse during our 3rd Year Professional Development module.
During this module we were given the brief of "not a real sports" so after a lot of brainstorming we came up with the idea of a micro-game marathon with Mean Girls and general Y2K vibes.

As this professional project was a cross-discipline project our team contained multiple people in each role. Out of our 2 programmers I was given the role of Lead Programmer.
This meant that alongside regular development I was taking on extra responsibilities such as keeping our source control clean or creating builds of the project for the Steam release.
This project initially took place over 5 months during term time. After this however, we got accepted into DARE Academy.
During DARE Academy we were given an additional 2 months to develop our game.
We used these 2 months to polish everything that was already in the game, finish up mechanics and assets we previously didn't have enough time to include and add 3 new story games.
The entire development process for this game was an absolute blast because of my team.
Everyone at Whispered Eclipse was a pleasure to work with and it was incredible having a team that was so passionate about this project.
About a month after development had wrapped up Whispered Eclipse was awarded the "Team Award" during the DCA awards ceremony.Â
Afterwards Demon Slumber Party was also accepted into the Aesthetica Film Festival.
Both of these have been an absolute honour and i'd like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout our development. It's incredible to see people enjoying a game that this team worked so hard to deliver.
