Revisit a classic. Learn by building.
ANKH is a student project that recreates and reimagines a level from the 2005 point-and-click adventure. Developed over two months in Unity with C#, it combines a tribute to the original game with a practical exercise in level design, scripting, and player interaction.
The project focuses on the feel of an adventure game: moving through environments, discovering objectives, and interacting with the world. Custom maps and mission structures provided a setting in which the team could develop those systems and test how they worked together.
My contribution
My responsibilities included quest design, story design, and character, boss, and enemy design, including enemy AI. I also handled light scripting where the team needed support. These contributions were made within the student team’s Unity recreation.
The project brought narrative and interaction work into the same playable level. Objectives needed to make sense in the story, characters and encounters needed to support those objectives, and the underlying scripting needed to connect them. Working from an established game gave the team a reference while we developed our own implementation.

BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
Design decisions
Translate the experience
Recreating a familiar level required attention to the original game’s feel as well as its appearance. The project brought that reference into Unity through custom environments and interaction systems.
Connect objectives to interaction
Movement, inventory, and mission information needed to work together so players could understand their next action. Building these systems within a playable level gave the team a concrete way to test them.
Use the project as a foundation
The two-month scope created an opportunity to practice development from concept through implementation. It served as preparation for larger student projects, with teamwork and scripting developed alongside design skills.
