Game Development Projects

Game Project "Spectral" 

What is the game about? - Dark souls-like combat and dark fantasy themes. One of my goals with this project is to catch this vibe and atmosphere. To design a game that translates all this through gameplay and visual appearance. The other goal is to learn more about game development in every way I can. My main passion is game design, but so is my Love to learn and dive into the different fields of game development, especially because they are so interconnected with each other. That is why I think it is a valuable skill to have some knowledge of the different areas of game development. 

What does this game project entail? - The current state of the game project entails the following features and aspects.

-Level Design "Castle Midnight"

- Playable Level with 3 different areas.

- Playable Character

- Variety of Enemies with different Models and AI Patterns.

How did I build this and what was my approach?

In the 4 months of work on this project, a lot of things changed at this timeframe. As it is usual in a developing project, the design, and scope of the project change. That's why from the start my main design aspect for this project was to design it in a modular iterative way, so I can flexibly change the project depending on the situation and frame to work in. That´s how I managed to finish the presentable work for this entry.
