My Responsibilities

Mony acted as our lead programmer, and Niki as our Lead Designer. I worked as a programmer to implement the design of the game

Programming Elements I handled

  • Combat: Created the attack functionality for the player and all the monsters
  • Enemy Navigation: Utilized Astar package to create Enemy Navigation
  • Enemy AI: Created enemy behaviors
  • Enemy Spawners: Created spawners that could be placed into the level to spawn enemies. Utilized gizmos to give appropriate information to designers on where enemies would spawn.
  • Boss Fight:: Wrote a script for a modular boss fight that could have different types of enemies spawn between rounds of fighting the boss.
  • Music:: Created the Background Music Manager to play the music, and allow dynamic switching of songs for different scenes and events
  • SFX: Implemented all of the SFX for the game
  • Sound Manager: Created a Sound Manager to allow adjusting the volume of the music and the SFX from the menu.

Future Plans

I hope to return to this project and add some finishing touches that we didn't have time for during the jam, such as:

  • Improve the combat further
  • Clear up some space in the levels to allow more room for the enemies to navigate
  • Fix some of the small bugs that made it into the game
