Personal Game Projects
Coin Dash
I call this first project Coin Dash. It was created in Godot using GDScript.
To get started with this engine, I followed a course by Packt. The assets are not my own, being taken from Packt
resources. Even though I began by following a course, the course was out of date with the current version of
Godot at the time that I decided to embark on my journey. I also made variations to the original code in ways I
believed improved the original gameplay. I had to develop fundemental game coding skills in this project.
Jungle Jump
This next project is called Jungle Jump. This was also built in the Godot engine using
GDScript.
This was also based on a project by Packt. As such, the assets are not my own.
Similar to in Coin Dash I took the premise offered by the Packt tutorial and extended it. Trying to find
creative uses for the different components created an interesting challenge that I enjoyed solving. This project
taught me the basics of 2D physics required to make a platformer.
Space Rocks
Space Rocks was also built in Godot using GDScript.
This project was
also
based on the Godot project book from Packt that the pevious Godot projects were from. As such, the assets aren't
mine. Moving on to more fun things though, I had a lot of fun with this project. I made sure to follow the book
less closely with this one to try and practice the skills I'd picked up so far, but to also see how much I could
figure out from subheadings. This project was very fun, and I learned a lot in 2D physics while developing this
game.
Marble Maze
Marble Maze was my first project built in Unreal. I used the Blueprint system
to program it.
The system tilts the maze based on mouse movement and got me started with using physics in 3D
space. The assets are default assets from the Unreal starter content.
Marble Run
Marble Run was also made in Unreal using Blueprint.
The moving camera in
the project allowed me to make more interesting choices in the level design. I could also improve my skills in
the
prototyping and rapid mockup of levels when using Unreal. It felt like this project did a lot to refine existing
skills and practices from previous projects.
2.5D Dungeon RPG
The Dungeon RPG was a 2.5D game demo built in the Godot engine using C#. The assets are not mine and are sourced from GameDev.TV, who's course I followed to make this project. My goal was to sharpen my C# knowledge and to make a larger scale of project than I had previously attempted, which I believe I succeeded in doing.
