AlexaQuest

Inspiration

We wanted to create a novel use for Alexa - what better place than a game?

It is a game completely controlled by the Amazon Alexa voice assistant.

The backend service is ruby on rails, running on Heroku. The game was made in Unity using C#.

Interfacing with Alexa proved to be harder than we anticipated.

Getting the backend to work and interface Alexa with Unity.

We plan to make the game a little more than just a tech demo.

I wrote the Rails backend that interfaced Alexa with Unity, and made many of the animations in the game.

I worked on higher level game design as well as minor scripting in C# and particle effects. I was also new to Unity so learning the mechanics was a steep task.

I worked on making the 3D models in the game and with a little bit of the Unity. I've never done either before, so it was definitely a learning experience.
