Eternus is a first-person survival horror game with a focus on stealth and puzzle solving. Sneak through the abandoned halls of this decrepit hospital as you search for a way to escape!
Created for SGD-289 - SGD Project
I was the lead programmer, creating the player movement, environmental interactions, hiding mechanics, audio management, and UI.
Below are a few specific things I've done that I will share:
This is the prefab for the player controller. It includes features such as:
Basic movement and looking around
Jumping, crouching, sprinting
Footstep SFX changes based on the object's material, or even custom SFX from the object itself
Head bob which is modified by player speed
Continuing to crouch when under something (like a vent)
Each hide-able prefab has an in-depth and modular layout. When a player hides, they can't move and have a limited range on where they can look.
From the image, the blue circle is where the player gets moved when hiding and the green diamond is where the player gets moved when they are no longer hiding. "Enter Trigger" is the area that the player is able to interact with the object and disappears when hiding. "Exit Trigger" is similar to the Enter Trigger except it appears when the player hides and is the area that the player can stop hiding.
There are sound effects when the player enters and exits the hide-able prefab as well as breathing sound effects when hidden.
I also designed the main menu UI based on feedback from other team members and playtesters. The goal of the UI was to be unintrusive and minimal so that the player could have a more immersive experience. The settings panels are modular and include saving and loading.
The UI includes: a crosshair that changes based on if the player is looking at something that is interactable, text that describes mechanics, text that appears for objectives, a pause menu, a settings menu, a main menu
