This site is preserved as is at the time of submission as the final project for my CS 426 course at GMU. Aside from a couple of small changes that will be made soon,this site will no longer be updated, but the game that resulted will be reworked over time as a very different game than what's shown here. A link to a new site for the game will be provided when that time comes.

Slain is an action platformer, with the objective being to get to the end of the level while either avoiding enemies, killing them with your sword/magic, or manipulating them with magic to aid in platforming.

Characters:

-Only one playable character

-Player can run or jump

-Player can attack with sword, ice spell, or fire spell

Resources:

-Sword for attacking enemies

-Magic for harming or manipulating enemies

-Finite Health Points

-Regenerating Mana Points for magic

The available magic abilities can create interesting options for both combat and platforming

I think it displays a blend of combat/platforming not common in modern platformers

Technical:

-Learning Unity Engine and pipeline in under 2 weeks

-Platforming implementation

-Animation states

Non-Technical:

-Level Design

-Enemy Design
