2D Momentum Platformer

This game was my capstone project for my Simulation and Game Development: Programming AAS degree.  I worked with 5 other students to create a fully polished game from start to finish, including planning, development, marketing and presentation materials all in just 9 weeks to emulate an industry production life-cycle. Below you can find what I worked on for this game in greater detail.

Player:

• Custom Physics System for the Player Movement without reliance on Unity's built-in physics systems (Rigidbody, Character Controller, Colliders)

• Custom Animation System without reliance on Unity's built-in Animator system.

• Player Sprites use a custom shader for background removal and palette swapping.

Level Geometry:

• Level geometry uses colliders to allow for easy iteration rather than a tile system with hard-coded angles and height arrays.

Code:

• Organized Code-base

• Separation of concerns

• OOP best practices

• Implemented public documentation - Sonic Retro's Physics guide - for modern game engine systems.

Design:

• Player Movement

Systems:

• Sound System using Scriptable Objects, using both spatial and non-spatial sound.

• Asynchronous level loading

• Controller Support for gameplay and menus
