Game Design Document

'Mr. Nugs' marked my inaugural venture into crafting a comprehensive game design document, a pivotal step in my journey. In this endeavor, I assumed a hands-on approach, shouldering the responsibility for virtually every aspect of the project. From conceptualization to project management to execution, I navigated the intricacies of game design, showcasing a blend of creativity and technical acumen in a manner that reflects both my passion for the craft and my commitment to self-driven learning.

This initial project not only broadened my skill set but also instilled in me a foundational understanding of the nuances inherent in bringing a game from concept to fruition!

Made in Unity! (team of 4)

This Capstone project was our chance to show off our computer science skills. I pitched my idea for a game that I was really into, and somehow convinced my teammates to go along with it. Together, we turned that idea into a project that highlights both our technical know-how and creativity!

Creative Evolution!

The early stages of "Mr. Nugs" involved a fascinating transformation from a text-based C++ fantasy fighting game prototype. Through this initial iteration, the game began to take shape, showcasing its potential and paving the way for further development. As the prototype evolved, it eventually transitioned into the vibrant and immersive experience that "Mr. Nugs" is today.

This journey from a humble text-based prototype to a fully visualized game demonstrates the iterative nature of game development and the creative evolution that takes place along the way!

Mesh Slicing!

One of the standout features in "Mr. Nugs" is its innovative mesh slicing mechanic, which brings an exciting dynamic to the battlefield. Without the need for additional spritework, enemies in the game can take physical damage on the mesh in real time! This cutting-edge technology allows for satisfying player feedback, resulting in visible and immediate effects.

The seamless integration of this mechanic enhances the overall gameplay experience, adding depth and realism to combat scenarios!

Fully-Traversable Terrain!

Unlike typical RPGs, "Mr. Nugs" offers a dynamic gameplay experience where players have the freedom to move around and interact with the terrain in unique ways. One notable feature is the ability to physically knock enemies into obstacles during battles. This introduces a new level of tactical thinking and strategic decision-making. Players can strategically position themselves and use their environment to their advantage to gain an upper hand in combat.

This interactive and physics-based approach adds a refreshing twist to traditional turn-based RPG mechanics, creating thrilling and unpredictable encounters!
