Inspiration
Our game is inspired by the timeless appeal of classic RPGs, blending engaging battles, character progression, and collectible elements into an immersive experience.
What it does
Space Cats is an action-packed adventure where players embark on an intergalactic journey as a brave kitty who crash-landed far away from home. The game features epic battles, traveling to different planets to collect resources, and a captivating world full of challenges and rewards.
How we built it
We built Space Cats using Unity's 2D desktop game framework. Starting from scratch, we utilized a combination of our talented designer's handcrafted assets and our developers' programming skills. Sprites, backgrounds, logos, fonts, and the game's soundtrack were all created in-house to deliver a unique, cohesive experience. Our team focused on bringing every detail to life, from the lost kitty's adventures to the vibrant universe it explores.
Challenges we ran into
As most of us newcomers to Unity, we encountered a number of hurdles—particularly with character movement and sprite rendering. Ensuring the characters behaved correctly and displayed properly on screen was more challenging than we anticipated. Additionally, a significant portion of our time was dedicated to crafting the game's UI and assets, including background designs, and multiple custom sprites for our protagonist kitty and various in-game enemies.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Despite the challenges, we successfully programmed several Unity scripts in C# using Visual Studio, integrating them into our game objects and UI. We've built a solid foundation, enabling dynamic character interactions and a polished user interface. We're particularly proud of how we brought our vision to life with unique, handcrafted assets and a memorable soundtrack.
What we learned
Through this project, we gained hands-on experience in importing and integrating custom assets into Unity. We also learned how to develop custom characters with distinct roles, such as our protagonist kitty and its enemies, while improving our skills in C# programming and Unity development.
What's next for SPACE CATS
Currently, Space Cats features a single level, but the adventure doesn't end there! Our future plans include expanding the game to feature multiple planets, each representing a different world in our solar system. As we grow the game, we aim to introduce new challenges, characters, and immersive environments, elevating the player's experience with every update. The adventure is just beginning, and we can't wait to see where it goes!
