Developer

Quick Stats

• Genre: Dystopian Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk Co-Op Action Roguelike

• Engine & Tech Stack: Unity 6, C#, Universal Render Pipeline (URP)

• Core Systems Built: 

  1. • Level Progression System

     • Level-Based Stats

     • Various Enemy classes and types

     • Basic enemy AI (patrolling, chasing, searching or guarding) 

     • Various swappable weapon classes

     • Save and Load System

     • Basic cutscenes

     • Point-and-click interaction with action-based icons

Key Features

• 1. • Level Progression System: Players can gain experience through killing enemies to level up.

     • Level Based Stats: Players and Enemies stats are based on class and level.

     • Various Enemy classes and types: Enemies can come in different classes, ie., Ranged, Heavy, Melee, and each class can have subtypes if needed.

     • Basic enemy AI (patrolling, chasing, searching or guarding): Enemies watch out for players, and will respond if triggered, ban lose the player if they get away, causing them to search, and then return to their post.

     • Various swappable weapon classes: The player can interact with and pick up different classes of weapons, changing damage, and animation.

     • Save and Load System: Scenes can be saved manually or by changing areas. It will save enemy stats, and weapon placements in the area.

     • Basic cutscenes: Simple cutscenes demonstrate the ability to pause player control and render in-game cutscenes.

     • Point and click interaction with action based icons: Context-based pointers let you know what kind of action will be performed by a left click.
