Starfall
Project 8, Year 2
About
Starfall was our eight group project developed in the second year at The Game Assembly. It's a game based on Risk of Rain 2, where you play against endless waves of monsters, collect items and get stronger. It's a rogue-like whiuch means that any death is permanent.
The project was created by 34 students during a 9 weeks period in our in-house engine.
The game can be downloaded here: https://jcfuggy.itch.io/
My Contribution
Gameplay
During this project, my biggest focus was the boss at the end of each level.
Once you find a portal at the end of each level, you fight the same boss over and over again. The boss starts with a random attack, and as you advance through the levels, the boss unlocks yet another attack, until it has unlocked all four of its different attacks.
Gatling Laser
The boss charges a laser attack at a target location, once fully charged, it will blast that target while trying to steer it towards the player.
Poison Cloud
The boss burps a cone of poisonous cloud towards the player location, making terrain dangerous to walk on for a period of time.
Mortar
The boss fires a massive mortar upwards, and it explodes into a cluster of bombs that fall towards the player location.
Tentacle Attack
The surrounding tentacles digs themselves underground and appear under the player location.
Main Menu
I created the main menu for this project. It required me to rewrite the UI code that the engine had previously used, because it was mostly hard-coded to work with the groups previous game project. I created a generalized event-based button and slider component class.
