Embark on a time-bending adventure as Dave, Riverhack's favorite dog. In this retro-inspired game, journey through time to help Dave in his quest to find the portal that will transport him back home.
Inspiration: Our team knew from the beginning that we wanted to make a 2D game but we were struck with inspiration for our main character as soon as we met Dave, Riverhack's new mascot.
What it does: This is a 2D platformer game where you play as the main character, Dave. He starts in a futuristic scene and journeys back in time to different eras where he gets new accessories to disguise himself as a time traveler.
How we built it: We made all the art for the game in a third-party app for making pixel art. We imported the pieces into Unity where we added functionality for the game and animated the sprites.
Challenges we ran into: We ran into challenges when figuring out the sizing for the backgrounds and platforms. In Unity, it was tricky to add functionality for switching between levels.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: We're so proud of all the art we made. We're especially obsessed with all the different era versions of Dave. We're also proud that we are better at working with GitHub Desktop and Unity. Most of us have never used Unity before so we're very proud of what we accomplished.
What we learned: We learned how to use Unity, create pixel art, and make sprites for animations and backgrounds in a game.
What's next for WayBack Dave: We plan to add more levels that Dave can travel through. We would also like to animate more sprites, incorporate health and damage factors, enemies, and possibly have the platforms move.
