World of Kajak 3D: Genius Loci

Genius Loci is a 3D mobile game project for iOS and Maemo, currently on hold. We started working on it during our summer studies in June 2010 under Mika Karkinen, lead designer and graphic artist of the project. Genius Loci is made with Kajak 3D, which is a multiplatform game engine developed in Kajaani university of Applied Sciences.

All the programming in this project is done in C++. Personally I got some valuable rehearsing and experience with the language itself, namely programming an A* pathfinder and AI in general. Other than programming, I did the level design for the game. Me and other TJR guys also discussed some other design aspects with the lead designer that ended up in the game.
