Project Notes

My goal for this project was to create and ship a 'complete' game, and to explore a project structure utilizing customizable components.

Current Features:

• Character selection on first playthrough
• Volume/sfx/screen mode preferences are adjustable and changes saved
• Difficulty increases as round time progresses
• Melee & Ranged enemies
• Various abilities and upgrades are obtained through gameplay and reset after victory/defeat
• Total experience collected persists between games and can be used to purchase special powerful upgrades that are always applied

Future Features:

• Add boss enemy
• Add a new arena scene after boss
• Add new enemy types
• Tune difficulty balancing
• Add new upgrades (both meta and normal)
• Add new player abilities (projectile based is #1 priority, see current wizard enemy attack)
• Add floating damage text
