Sanctuary

Sanctuary

By Josh McKone

 

Sanctuary is a game where you take on the role of the commander in charge of humanity’s last bastion of hope, Sanctuary. You command a series of forces in an attempt to overcome the horrors that have come to claim Earth as their own. Do not let Sanctuary fall. The fate of Humanity rests on your shoulders.

You command several forces using typical RTS controls. You also have to manage your gold reserves if you want to continue producing units and buildings.

Josh McKone

I’m a Baylor Computer Science Major with a concentration in Game Design. I love everything to do with computers, from building them to coding on them, and have a special fascination on all aspects of video games. I’m an avid gamer and hope to become a developer myself one day.

Career Goals

It is my goal to be able to program and develop games. I plan to start out at a bigger company to gain experience, then hopefully will be able to strike out on my own.

 

Experience

Aside from the few programming classes I’ve taken, and the little bit that I’ve done in some game-making engines, I have no experience designing or programming games.
