Technical Design

1. Wave Spawning System

  • Based on a linear formula an enemy pool would be generated
  • The pool is then distributed across enemy spawners
  • The spawners are placed outside the player’s view

2. Highscore System

  • Score calculated based on a combo value
  • Current total score is shown with spatial U.I. on the floor
  • Gained score displayed next to an enemy
  • The high score is saved on a leaderboard at the end of the game

Level Design

1. Playspace Creation

  • I was responsible for crafting all gameplay relevant aspects of the playspace
  • This included placing all gameplay components (e.g. spawners)
  • Making sure that the enemies could spawn and move correctly in the space
  • And iterating on the space, so that enemies can’t get stuck

2. Collision Placement

  • The enemies just move in a straight line towards the player, so they got stuck often in geometry
  • To fix this I handplaced custom collusions into the existing landscape, to funnel the enemies
  • The collision shadows are not visible during gameplay
