A 2.5D comedic simulation game where you work the register of a whacky grocery store!
My roles for this game: Programmer, 3D Modeler, QA Tester
CheckItOut! Trailer.webmEver dreamt of working a cash register with no pay or real-life customer interaction? Look no further and Check It Out! This simulation game brings a fresh-take to the notoriously dull tasks of customer service, introducing you to a cast of wacky characters and the baggage they carry.
Check It Out! was developed over a semester by a team of twenty-six in a club called Open Alpha. The goal of the club is to bring ideas from conception to alpha-state. I originally worked on this project as a programmer and QA tester. However, because the project did not have enough 3D artists, I volunteered to complete some tasks and learn the 3D pipeline as well. The game was received very well on Steam with 740+ positive reviews and 39.5k+ unique users.
