"Rogue Torch"

CS50 Final Project // Using Unity 2019.4.11f1

ItchIO Page // (Windows Only)

Learning Goals for this project:

This project started with a set of goals as follows:

Produce a full Minimum Viable Product from scratch in ~2 weeks
Explore basic procedural generation algorithms
Make a fun game on the theme "Pass the Torch" (Weekly Game Jam 168)

Due to external factors, as well as a general over-scoping of what would be entailed in producing a product meeting my personal standards, this project has extended well past two weeks worth of work. However, I feel that the learning goals I had set out for initially have been met, and have learned a great deal about more complicated C# scripting and OOP principles as a whole. Ultimately, though this project has gone from an estimated 14 days to ~2 months, I feel the end product will be a solid execution of concept in a prototype, that has admittedly been more challenging than anticipated to complete.

Features:

Procedurally generated levels using Breadth First Search algorithm
Ability to feed the generator a seed
Raycast collision/entity detection
Runtime configuration menu for the generation algorithm

Possible Future Improvements:

Subject to my motivation to continue the project beyond the prototype stage:

Improve performance by selectively activating actors based on proximity to the player
More content (enemy types, bosses, biomes)
Better VFX (particle FX for player feedback)
Configurable Controls Menu
Gold or some additional score method
Difficulty Settings
