Project Goal
We are aiming to create a smooth blend of a third person action shooter, and strategic planning of a wave defense game. Coupled in a fun and light hearted atmosphere.
How To Play
Keyboard and Gamepad compatible
Keyboard - WASD and Mouse to control character, left click to shoot, B to build
Gamepad- left stick to move, right stick to look, right trigger to shoot, left circle button to build
With the amount of systems in place we created a in game tutorial to teach new players how to play!
Creating a Third-Person Shooter
Player Controller
I created a character controller, that allows player to walk around, Aim and shoot.
I also implemented our Artists animation into the character
Enemy Variety
All enemy types inherit from a base class, that allows for variety through value changes, and sub classes.
More enemy variety is planned for future updates!
Targeting
While sharing the code, enemies react differently to different targets.
Attacking
Each enemy has its own unique attack, matched with an animation!
Object Pooling and Optimization
With a lot of moving parts proper optimization quickly became a necessity. So I created and object pooling system for all our spawnables.
Pooling System
Objects are enabled and disabled as needed, they are initially loaded at the start.
Enemies, VFX, Projectiles, buildables are all a part of the pooling system.
Accessibility
When creating my scripts and objects I made sure that the non programmers in our team would be able to use them with ease.
Scriptable Objects
Enemy Attacks are made using scriptable objects, that can be adjust and combined in many ways.
