My contributions, TLDR version;
Game and Concept Design and QA Testing

The Orb is a Game concept for a third-person stealth action/adventure game for the PC. 

In The Orb, players would control a mysterious entity that has arrived on Earth searching for answers about his consciousness and his purpose. As the entity is known as Theorb you would navigate the game world using such mechanics as shape-shifting to avoid enemies as well as using energy attacks to defeat enemies. However, being careful to monitor Theorb's energy level as it functions as his ability to attack enemies and his health.

This concept came about from a subject in my university degree in 2014. We were tasked with writing a design document for a game. We then also had to form groups and create a prototype in Kodu of the said game from our design document and perform user testing with players to evaluate our prototype.
