Saviator is a Video Game project made for the Chillenium 2025 student game jam under the theme "In Plain Sight". We decided to take do a play on words and trade 'Plain' for 'Plane' and made a game where you take control of a VTOL aircraft and fly around the beautiful forested valley using your searchlight to spot any stranded hikers who will send up flares when spotted by your searchlight. Rescue the hikers with your rescue gurney deployed from the underside of the plane and bring them back to the airport. This game was a lot of fun to develop, and in the end I am very satisfied with how the plane controls all turned out, even if they lack a bit of realism.

My Primary focus for this project was developing and programming all the mechanics and systems needed for the plane flight including figuring out how to implement both the 'plane' and 'helicopter' style movements that a VTOL is capable of. Designing the rescue system for the hikers was a bit of a headache in the a bit-less-than 2 days we had for the game jam, but in the end I was able to get a system that functioned well enough to have a full gameplay loop.
