Warhammer 40,000: The Last Marine is an isometric shooter that combines intense action and exploration. Developed by a 40‑student multidisciplinary team at CITM‑UPC in a four‑month sprint, the project was built on our custom Coffee Engine (C++ / OpenGL) with Lua used for higher‑level scripting.
The player controls the lone surviving Ultramarine — Battle‑Brother Quintus Maxillian — fighting through hordes on a planet ravaged by war. The design focuses on immediate, visceral combat and approachable controls while rewarding exploration and discovery across varied environments.
Game Pillars
- World Exploration — Traverse diverse, war‑scarred environments and uncover hidden secrets.
- Fast & Visceral Combat — Engage in adrenaline‑fuelled battles using a varied arsenal.
- Accessibility — Intuitive mechanics for quick entry with layered depth for mastery.
My Contribution
I worked on Environment Art and Prop Art across multiple levels, prioritising clear silhouettes and a consistent visual language to support gameplay readability. I also handled design and development of the game's promotional website, created the Burned Games brand assets (logo and brand art), and produced T‑shirt concepts for promotion.
