Magic & Gadgets

Project Overview

• Universal Fighting Engine 2 (Unity Engine)

• 2.5D Fighting Game Prototype

Playable on itch.io

Magic & Gadgets is a proof of concept for a fighting game design I really wanted to make. I have ideas for mechanics, characters and stages, but I first needed to learn how to implement all of it. This gave me the opportunity to learn 3D animation for the first time. I plan to come back to this to make some sweeping changes, including new universal mechanics and potentially new characters.
