Blackout

Blackout is a Two-Player Co-Op game where players take the role of an arctic researcher trying to restore power to the Fawl-T Research Station. Both players must work together to navigate around the base and activate machines by connecting them to a handheld generator. Will you be able to fix the issues, or will the base be stuck without power? It’s up to you to decide.

Blackout was developed by a team of eight people over the Spring semester for about 15 weeks. There were three programmers, three artists, one designer, and a producer. The music was outsourced from another classmate who introduced us to music integration workflows that were super helpful. The eight of us began working on Blackout with the intention of participating in the Ubisoft competition. Unfortunately, the competition was cancelled, but as a result we were able to spend a few extra weeks on the game to bring it to a level of polish. We were all super happy with the end result and want to share it!
