This Project was my second video game project I worked on for the course CMS.611: Creating Video Games in Spring 2017. The video game is a two-player top-down multitasking game where the two plaers are tasked to take care of a petkeeping store.

• Audrey Li
• Karen Fan
• Monde Duinkharjav (budmonde)
• Rhea Lin (rhealin)
• Yolanda Zhou (yolandaz)

Goals: Create a two-player digital game in a short time frame. Practice project management with a larger team and choose prototyping methods appropriate for game design. Projects are allowed (but are not required) to involve one additional technical challenge: 3D, networking, or mobile devices.

Development schedule: 3 weeks of fast prototyping

Requirements:

• Meets themed constraint: Asymmetry
  • Two players perform different roles or strategies. Each player must face a different set of meaningful decisions to accomplish success. The game can be competitive or cooperative.
• Maximum play length: 5 minutes
• Two players only.
• Teams may choose one (and only one) technical challenge to explore: 3D, networking, or mobile devices. Teams may choose not to implement any of these technical challenges at any point during the assignment, preferably as early as possible.
• User Interface tested for legibility and usability. Significant attention played to entire user experience, as evidenced through iterative changes in design.
• Game must use & play audio for the player.
• Players can pick up & start playing the game with no external instructions.
• Game must be delivered as one of the following. No other software or plug-ins should be required.
  • A browser game to be run on Chrome.
  • A standalone Windows and Mac OS X executable packaged as ZIP archives.
  • A mobile game to be run on Android packaged as an APK file.

This project did not experience the smoothest development process and due to the tight deadline, a fully functional game was not completed. The "working" build of our project can be found here, a Unity WebGL page.

This project was arguably my second attempt at using Unity to make a video game (likely same for my teammates). My first project linked [here] (https://github.com/budmonde/magescape) was mostly an exercise on learning the Unity Engine. Working on this project has been a great experience in retrospect (although the proces itself was a complete disaster). Hopefully I can update this README with my latest video game project as a point of reference to how I started off -- maybe could be a useful guide for beginning game developers to see that everybody starts off sucking(?). (This all would only sound cool and inspirational on the pretense that I do follow up and make a worthwhile video game... otherwise this repository is like super depressing >~<) PS. I'm not actually a serious game developer -- just something I found mildly interesting, please do not find this rambling to be discouraging lol.

UPDATE: Here's the repository to the final project for this course: In Memoriam.

The game was built using Unity 5.3 with C# used for scripting. All graphic art assets were made by the teammembers (Karen Fan, Rhea Lin, Yolanda Zhou) using Adobe Illustrator and sound assets were used from an open source sound file repository http://freesound.org. In the making of the game we referenced our project structure and design from the Unity Roguelike Youtube tutorial series released by the Unity dev team.
