Rohan's Escape :

Rohan’s escape is a WEBGL game in partnership with the Museum of Decorative Arts located at the Rohan Palace in Strasbourg, France.
Play as a ghost hunter and help the king and his subjects in the search for his lost crown. Collect clues and solve puzzles in the museum, find the culprit and give the king his crown back.

This game was created by 8 students in their 3rd year of game design at E- Artsup Strasbourg.

Plateforme : WEB, android,

. We used Unity and C# language to make the game.

My role on this project :

On this project, i was Project Manager and Game Designer (with technical implication)

Main Goal : Overall project management, from pre-production to delivery, ensuring smooth communication and efficient organization within a team of [X] people.

Details of Responsibilities :

1.Team Coordination & Communication Cross-functional leadership: Facilitation of daily meetings (Agile/Scrum method), task allocation via Trello/Jira, and mediation between the technical (programmers), artistic (2D/3D), and design teams.

Conflict management: Resolution of creative misalignment between artists and designers through rapid prototyping to validate ideas.

Reporting: Weekly update to the external producer/school on progress, risks, and resource needs.

2.Organization & Risk Management Planning: Creation of a Gantt Chart to visualize key deadlines (alpha, beta, gold master).

Deadline management: Adaptation of the scope after a technical delay (e.g., reduction from 3 levels to 2 to meet the delivery date).

Risk anticipation:

3.Early identification of mobile porting issues (touch controls, optimization).

Implementation of regular performance tests to avoid crashes on low-end smartphones.

Creative & Technical Involvement (in support) Game Design: Design of game systems (e.g., point economy, skill tree) through paper prototypes and user testing.

Programming (support): Development of the dialogue system (Unity/C#) to free up developers for complex tasks. → Example: Implementation of a branching choice system with saving of player decisions.

Key Difficulty: Mobile Porting under Unity Problem: The team had no experience in mobile development → Performance issues (FPS drops), imprecise touch controls, and battery management.

Project Manager Actions: Workflow Modification: organization and allocation of 2 of the most experienced developers on the problem while allocating 2 more weeks to the search for solutions, Task prioritization modification

Prioritization: Adding 2 weeks of buffer time in the schedule to resolve mobile-specific bugs.

Trello, the software we used to prioritize task

As a Project Manager i wanted to use a Kanban board to ensure a visual understanding of which task to do first, which is more important, and what deadline they have.

Some Screenshots about the game :

Here are some picture about the scenario of the game, i used a software called Twine to make it.
