Productivity [GAME PRODUCTION]

Rough Prototype
Last update: April 22, 2020

In this game, you control an electric stand-up desk. I got the idea after my girlfriend bought one of these luxuries for her home office. I questioned myself on how I could make a game mechanic out of it. Beware, exciting gameplay ahead.

The game doesn’t have a specific goal. There’s no ending. You can move up and down, but you are limited by the desk’s min and max height. There’s a user behind the desk that will react to your height adjustment. Switching his stance from standing up or sitting down.

In a way, the game turns out to be a torture for the in-game character as a player can deliberately switch between the two available positions endlessly.
