The Game Where You Can't Jump
Creation Date: June 2012
Current State: Completed
Description
For my SGD (Structures of Game Design) class we were taught how games are usually structured, and for the last two weeks of the class, I was required to create a game, checking off tasks on a task list. In the class, a 2D game is expected, however I wanted to try and make my first ever 3D game, and with only 1 month of 3D API experience (DirectX) I was able to put together a game. Another goal I wanted to go for was being one of the few students in the class to create a game which included online gameplay. Without any networking experience, I was able to learn and implement the RakNet API into my project, and my goal was achieved. The game also includes some simple shader effects, a fully functional map editor, and a camera that has two different angles used to see around corners.
TGWYCJ is a simple 3rd person shooter where you play as a soul, and your objective is to simply get more kills than the other souls. Shoot you way through 4 different soul types, as well as play around with the dynamic map editor and create your own fun maps.
Objective
Get the most kills out of all the other Souls in the game.
