Thieves: Wanted (AR)

Development Details

Unity – Vuforia – C# – Augmented Reality – Paper Prototyping – Board Game

Description

Thieves: Wanted is a mobile augmented reality board game, developed as part of my master’s thesis at the University of Gothenburg alongside another student with the aim to explore the design space of these types of games.

Up to four players take the roles of thieves banded together in a guild. The thieves go on break-in missions, which are played in AR, to collect loot, which they can trade or sell. The players work together to make the guild prosper, however, at the end of the game only the wealthiest player will be victorious.

I was involved in the development of various aspects of the MAR app, predominantly the tracking and pathfinding. Further I was involved in the design and development of the board game as well as an implementation of it in Tabletop Simulator.
