We four are members of UCI’s Video Game Development Club. Naturally, we wanted to make a video game at this hackathon. After debating for a couple hours, we finally settled on an idea after watching the ending of an anime called The Tatami Galaxy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewICfFjc4CI. We really liked the artistic room-building theme of the ending, and inspired by the fancy animation, we decided to make an exploration game closely resembling what we saw.
Supporting local co-op, the game allows two players to explore the procedurally-generated rooms in search of the exit. Along the way, they must be wary of hazardous traps that can instantly send them to their death.
Out of all the consuming aspects of our project, we are most proud of the progress of our random generation of levels. Each room has its own particular color and type of tile, along with its own properly placed traps and doors to other rooms.
