Overview

Seeker (Hide for your life) is a frantic online hide-and-seek built for the 2021 Global Game Jam. Hiders try to stay alive and keep their distance from the Seeker, sliding under furniture and ducking into cabinets to stay out of sight — while the Seeker gets to slashing.

It scales from a 2-player standoff all the way up to 100+ players in one lobby.

My Role

Built over the jam weekend at the Pittsburgh GGJ (held online in 2021), I worked on the engineering in Unity, using Normcore to handle the real-time multiplayer networking that keeps a lobby full of hiders and seekers in sync.
