Circus Lyfe
Circus Lyfe is a narrative life simulation game for Android devices and Chromium browsers, created for my senior undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida.
The player takes the role of a circus’ new trapeze artist and experiences both the social and professional sides of their new life. As the game progresses, the player will hone their skills on the trapeze and forge a friendship with another trapeze artist, Donna. This leads to the player’s debut performance in the circus, where they will be tested on their trapeze abilities and have the opportunity to perform alongside Donna if they have become good friends.
Note: This android version of this game was made and tested using a Motorola Z3. Due to limited device access, the game may behave strangely on different phone sizes. Please feel free to let me know of any Android device issues or incompatibilities.
Circus Lyfe was written in Unity 2019.3.3f1, using a modified version of Yarn Spinner version 1.1.
