Meh: A visual Storybook - Android Mobile App
project timescale: july 2015 - october 2015
Team project organised by Abertay University. We were tasked with adapting a picture book into an interactive mobile app. The book was intended to teach young kids about depression and mental illness. The app had to have the same educational merit. We developed the app with Unity 5.
I acted as lead developer on the project and worked under the guidance of the book's author and a university lecturer. I developed the app largely on my own using assets provided by the rest of the team. This included writing scripts in C# and creating animations with Unity's built in features. I designed a user interface for the app that was unobtrusive and conveyed the themes of the book. I also handled testing of the app to insure that it was functional across a range of android devices.
The app was adapted from the book "Meh" by Scottish author Deborah Malcolm. The book is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Barnes and Noble. The app is available for download from: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ProjectMeh.MehInteractiveBoo
