Inspiration

Rougelike games are games that are like the classic dungeon crawler game Rogue, in which you fight your way through procedurally generated levels as you get stronger, and so do the threats. We wanted to take that classic formula and spin it on its head with the upgrades and powers you could achieve instead being placed in the hands of the enemies, and those threats would in turn increase your total rewards

What it does

Our project has you playing as Benson the dog, fighting off evil spirits and monsters as you venture through his bizarre adventure. You fight challenges and battles, finding new modifiers to make the next encounters harder and tougher, only to your benefit, if you win.

How we built it

We setup our GitHub repository and then built our game on top of the powerful game engine Unity, in which we created a 2d environment writing in C#. We would separate tasks among ourselves to increase the total amount of progress we could complete at all times

Challenges we ran into

We faced many challenges from learning how to use Unity, the environment and the tools it provides. Challenging bugs that required collaboration and partner programming to solve as we worked on combining our separate pieces of work into one unified project

Accomplishments that we're proud of

While this was a very challenging learning experience and we encountered a lot of hiccups along the way, we developed a plethora of new skills and created a product that was in line with our initial project goals

What we learned

We learned how to use Unity, creating scenes, sprites, and scripts. We learned a deeper and greater understanding of C#, and how to work together to fill in any gaps in skills and abilities

What's next for Benson's Bizarre Adventure

Given the time, we would add a larger enemy variety, more modifiers, and an in depth leveling system so that you could really feel the weight of your choices, if that be limiting the modifiers in order to ensure victory at the sacrifice of low rewards, or giving it all and challenging yourself to a very tough encounter for a chance at incredible rewards
