About this project

Lily's Garden is a mobile puzzle game centered around Lily, and her quest to restore her great-aunt Mary's house and garden. To progress in the story you play levels in a match-3 blast board.

For the most part I've worked on the match-3 blast board as a senior gameplay programmer. For this project that meant transferring over from our old gameboard to the new one. Because of this I was involved in helping build up the tech for this new gameboard, that's being used in multiple Tactile games. It's advantages over the old system is that with this gameboard moves can be made while pieces are still falling or moving in other ways. This is a standard used by a lot of the new match-3 games. Before this wasn't possible on the old gameboard.

A large part of this was converting our 10,000+ levels from the old gameboard over to the new. To help accomodate this I built the converter that can take the old levels and transfer them into the new system.
