Inspiration

We were inspired by the game, Cookie clickers. Our group is guilty of falling into the trap of playing idle games for hours while getting absolutely nothing done. We thought it would be interesting to make this type of game.

What it does

Our game, Medieval Clickers, has a simple framework in that clicking the knight will gain you more hits. There is no goal of the game other than to play until you no longer want to play. The number of hits will keep increasing until the user decided to reset the game. In order to gain hits quicker, you can boost your hit amount by buying strength assets. Additional features include sound effects, background music, and animation for the knight when you click it.

How we built it

We built this project in Unity. For our pixelated assets and sounds, we used free open resources from online. For designing the UI buttons and menu, we used Photoshop and Illustrator.

Challenges we ran into

Some challenges that we ran into was learning how to use Unity. Only 2 people in our team had prior experience and we all learned more together. Some features of Unity that we found difficult was structuring the camera, adding assets and animation, and adding scripts. We also had difficulty parsing together the knight animation. In terms of technical difficulty, we had trouble with integer overflow and coding the sound toggles.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of being able to work together as a team for the first time. We also achieved all the goals and features we set out to implement in the initial project planning phase. We also proud of completing a fully functional game.

What we learned

We each learned how to use Unity, specifically coding scripts and handling game input and output. We also learned C#. Working as a team for over 24 hours, we learned how to communicate, incorporate each others ideas, be respectful, and how to work productively in a team utilizing each person's individual skills.

What's next for Medieval Clickers

The next steps for Medieval Clickers would be to add additional game features and functionality such as levels, background changes, avatar changes, more store items, and adding pets that click for you. We also want to deploy the game online using a website domain to make it accessible to everyone.
