A game for Desktop.
As part of my Masters Program at DigiPen Institute of Technology,
I designed and developed a single player action-adventure game with
the focus on driving through arenas filled with objects that can be
destroyed and enemies that can be defeated utilizing a custom-made,
component-based 3D Game Engine built with C++,
SDL, OpenGL, FMOD and LUA.
I collaborated with a team of fellow students to complete this project,
working together to bring our individual strengths and expertise to the
table in order to create an outstanding final product.

At the top left corner, players can readily monitor their health status, ensuring awareness of their character's well-being within the game world. A resource count is displayed beneath the health indicator, enabling players to track their available in-game currency. On the right side, you'll notice a handy counter that tells you how many more enemies and what type of enemies you need to defeat before moving on to the next level. It's a helpful way to keep track of your progress and know how close you are to advancing in the game. By the way, if you're new to the game, don't worry! Now and then, helpful tips and hints will pop up on the screen. They'll give you all the essential details about the game controls and objectives, ensuring a smooth and informative gaming experience.
