Some Background
Experts in Fun
As a small group of four programmers, our team has had to learn many skills in order to cover all the bases for our game. While all four of us have knowledge in programming, this project introduced us to the expansive field of modeling, art and game design in general. We hope that our game brings you as much joy as we got while making it
Balloon Animals!
Balloon Animals
Experience the thrill of feeding animals in VR! Ballon Animals is an interactive game made for all different ages. Through multiple levels, it engages players in a world full of fun bouncy animals that you need to feed before they reach you! Experience the full bounciness of these balloon animals as you feed them and watch them float up into the sky!
Marianne Chiarella
Game Programmer
Marianne has been a balloon computer interaction engineer for many years, but hasn't had a good application for her skills until now. When Marianne is not working on Balloon Animals, she is creating highly graphical web experiences using graphics-in-the-browser technologies.
Esther Tzau
Game Programmer
Esther studies Computer Science and American Studies, and is also interested in graphic art, animation, and 3D modeling. She used to know how to make real balloon animals at some point, and now she can model them in Maya. That's almost as cool.
Paul Wullenweber
Game Programmer
Paul is passionate about balloons, animals and fixing features while adding bugs. He is an exchange student at Tufts studying Computer Science. He's learned a lot while working on the game, but still doesn't know how to make actual balloon animals. Sad!
Maria Kim
Game Programmer
Maria studies Computer Science Engineering and is obsessed with fat animals, part of the inspiration behind the game. She loves modeling things in Maya and making things bounce in Unity. She used to be able to make balloon animals but now prefers her balloon animals in Unity.
