Faith Morgan - 2D Top Down Shooter

2D Top Down Shooter

For the 2D top-down shooter section, I was tasked with editing the Excel sheet and JSON files provided by the professor to create unique enemies and obstacles for the player to interact with, as well as the player themselves. These characters and obstacles were then placed in maps that were created using a txt file that I came up with.

INSPIRATION

The overall theme of this sequence of levels was inspired by The Nautilus Ark: A Johnson Corp Odyssey Corp one shot from Critical Role. I had always enjoyed Star Trek and Star Wars growing up and seeing this one shot was very exciting to see those spaces translated to games and TTRPGs, I wanted to take a stab at it.

INCORPORATED PUZZLES

Purple blocks are destroyable walls that can be utilized for various puzzles and challenges for players.

The game utilizes various Minesweeper puzzles that need to be solved in order to move further through the level.

This sequence in level 3 is inspired by a minigame in Fall Guys, where you run into a line of identical walls to try and find the breakable one to move forward. However, unlike Fall Guys some of these walls contain an enemy drop.
