Combat Design

Catalog description

Learn to create a semester-long 2D melee-focused brawler or hack-n-slash game. The combat will focus on a three-hit melee combo with supplemental ranged attacks. The hero of the game can be anything from a cute sword-wielding knight to a bare-knuckles brawling street fighter. Enemy archetypes are discussed and implemented to complement and counter the hero’s combat abilities. The semester and project both end with the implementation of a climactic boss fight. (This course is cross-listed with GAM 416.)
