Hexercise

Hexercise - Can you dodge the magic?
A DAE Game Project (2023)

Hexercise is a game project developed by me and 5 other students as part of our Digital Arts and Entertainment education at Howest Kortrijk.

The game was developped for our client, Sport Innovatie Campus, who wanted a new variation of game to be played in their sports center, where they previously already had single player kinect games.
The goal for our project was to create a multiplayer, ideally versus game that incentivises movement, competition and fun.

The game is a 1v1 versus game where you cast spells at each other to try and win. the casting of spells happens using kinect body trackers

I mainly worked on the calibration & cleaning of the kinect input, making sure the input is smooth and that the player could be centered in the playfield no matter what the camera setup is.
