ATA Game Challenge - Mars Command

Inspiration

My love for FPS games like the DOOM series, Hexen, Battlefield, Project IGI and so on

What's the story?

You're in Mars for an important mission - collect some rare crystal sets that scientists want to study back on Earth. However, you have to go through a hi-tech colony of robots that has established in the region. Get ready to use your Laser Gun to destroy some bots!

How I built it

I used Unity3D as game engine and C# as programming language. I used Photoshop to edit sprites and textures. I also used 3D models and sounds freely available on Unity Asset Store

Challenges I ran into

Programming the robots and turrets was a challenge for me because it involved a lot of math calculations and vector operations

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I'm happy that I gave a little bit of intelligence to the robots and turrets on the game. Their behavior make the game more challenging and interesting. I'm also proud that is the first time I develop a functional 3D game (I was used only to 2D), and I made something playable in just a weekend.

What I learned

I learned a lot about setting up a 3D environment, making more complex calculations with vectors in 3 dimensions, and also a lot of cool functions on Unity that certainly will be useful for my next games.
