I would recommend reading the word document I uploaded. Some of the formatting for the assets list was acting strange so I'm not sure if I fixed it all.

Additional features:

  • Sound effects and background music
  • Character Art
  • Tilemap Art
  • Title Art
  • UI Art
  • End of game screen
  • Restart game button
  • Settings screen
  • This might be a stretch to be honest. I’ve only got a settings screen,
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Path finding
  • Multiple Levels (?)

The final version of the game is fairly close to the concept document. Although that might be because I didn’t go all that in depth on the actual game features and mechanics.

The game has 11 different enemies who are implemented completely. Some enemies could do with a bit of polish, the archer enemy will just keep trying to run away from the player even if it hits a wall without firing back.

The game has 3 mini boss wizards who attack the player in a different way. There is also a main boss who can only be fought after defeating the 3 mini bosses. After defeating enemies the player will gain exp and eventually level up. Levelling up increases their health, mana and the amount of mana that is refreshed every second (unless upgraded). There are 27 different spells in the game with some being (hopefully) direct upgrades to the previous version. Implementing the 27 different spells was what took the majority of the development time. There are 5 different items, a small health and mana potion, a large health and mana potion and a potion that decreases the time taken for you to regain mana. There are “hidden” passages that can only be opened by lighting the torch near the passage.

A feature that I didn’t implement was taking reduced damage from enemies and I had planned on using spawners for the enemies but just never got around to it. I didn’t implement the reduced damage simply because I couldn’t figure out how I wanted it to work and spending so much time on such a simple concept wasn’t the greatest use of my already limited time. I wanted the reduced damage to have a threshold were it would simply ignore damage if it was too weak, subtract a flat number from the damage if it was within a different range, subtract a percentage of the incoming damage if it was within a larger range and finally just do all damage if too there was too much incoming damage. I suppose I could have just gone with a percentage, or similar, but it seems I was willing to die on this particular hill for whatever reason. I implemented a period of invincibility when you dash instead. The game project suffered from a bit of feature creep, I also think I made the project to large for myself. I think the only reason I managed to “finish” the game to the state that it is in now is because my other subjects were not demanding at all for time requirements so I could spend a decent chunk of time on this project. Some of the features that I hadn’t planned on adding were the passages, adding a save system you kill any of the bosses which I found harder then it probably should have been when and having the 11 other enemies. I had initially planned on only having maybe 3-4 with no mini bosses. There wasn’t really a number of spells I wanted to originally have; my concept document states I was just going to add any spell that I wanted to.

All in all, I am quite happy with the way the game turned out. If I were to revisit this project at a later date, I would definitely google the correct way to do things as I just played around in the editor until I got the result I was after which has made some systems quite strange to an experienced unity developer, I’m sure. An example of this is the 30 different polygon colliders found in the main boss because I couldn’t figure out how to change that type of collider in the Animation frame, so I just enable and disable the other colliders for that frame which probably makes you ill just thinking about.

Tester feedback is in a different devlog: Week 12—Testing - Magical Dungeon Hunter by charliecooper03 (itch.io)
Thought I had a second place where I talked about the testing, but I guess I didn’t.

 

Asset List:

  • Chest from tutorials

Scripts:

Font

Audio:

Art:

Everything below was created by me.

DISCLAIMER: The scope of the game continued to grow as the weeks went on so a lot of code that is basically the same and should really be methods instead of entire new scripts didn’t happen because I was lazy and copy pasting the scripts was easier then reworking some of the major systems I implemented near the beginning of the project.

I also got lazy naming the prefabs because it was a “personal” project and I didn’t know people were going to see what my beautiful naming scheme was.

 

Scripts:

  • SpellSlots:

  • GameDataReader:

User Guide:

The aim of Magical Dungeon Hunter is to defeat the three wizards and the final boss. Throughout the dungeon you will encounter loot and spells to make your mission easier. By defeating monsters, you will become stronger.

When you first load up the game you will encounter three buttons. The start game button is what you want to press. However, loading the game up for another time and defeating any of the bosses a fourth button will appear with the text “Continue Game”. The continue game button will run from a checkpoint created from successfully defeating one of the bosses. You can continue the game from the defeat of the boss with all your player data saved or you can start again if you wish.


When you initially start the game, you will be surrounded by a couple slimes that you’ll have to defeat. You will be shown your health and mana stats in the top left corner; there is a stamina bar at the bottom middle of the screen that decreases when you sprint. You will also be shown four slots for your hotbar. The left most bar is used for your items and the other three hold spells.

The movement in game is quite simple. The game uses the default WASD movement system. Pressing Left-Shift will allow the player to move faster for a bit while providing invincibility. Shooting a spell is as easy as aiming and clicking. Using a potion works by left clicking.
Torches are located randomly around the dungeon and can be light up with a fire type spell to open a secret passage.


The hotbar has the key shown in the top right corner of that slot to show you how to activate the slot.
For example, pressing “Q” will change your active slot to the potions. Pressing “1”, “2” or “3” will activate whatever spell is occupied in that slot.
The item hotbar slot has different mechanics. Pressing Q again while the slot is active will cycle to the next potion of the same type, e.g., a small health potion will go to a large potion when pressing Q again. Clicking right click will rotate to the next item in your items inventory allowing you to transition to the mana potions or back to the health potions. Some items can’t be held in the hotbar.
The game has an extra inventory that can be displayed by pressing “E” when the inventory is open you are UNABLE TO CAST SPELLS.
The top row of the inventory will show the current items you have and can be used while in the inventory. The other rows of the inventory show you what spells you have. You can have a single instance of a spell in your hotbar at one time. To change what spell you are using press the key for your hotbar that you want to change and click on a new spell in the inventory.

Pressing “C” enables cheat mode where you have access to all the 27 spells in the game and you have infinite mana and health.

Should you die, the below screen will appear letting you restart the game or if you made enough progress continue from the last boss you defeated.

There is a decent sized map for you to explore with loot tucked away in every room. A view of the map is available below with the three mini bosses’ locations shown and the main bosses location shown. The main boss can’t be fought until the three mini bosses are defeated, then the wooden door shown at “Entry” will open.



There are a total of 11 different enemies with, mostly, different mechanics. The guide will explore the base 7 enemies with the 4 bosses’ abilities being held secret.

The first enemy you will encounter is the basic slime. The slime will go towards you and attack you.

The second enemy is a, fast moving, flying dragon that explodes on contact. Watch out, there is one right outside the starting area.

The third enemy is the skeleton who has the same behaviour as the slime.

The fourth enemy is the goblin who has the same behaviour as the slime and skeleton.
There is a non-aggressive goblin to be found. Kill him if you want :(

The fifth enemy is the first of the elite enemies, the goblin king. The goblin king doesn’t see fit to bother himself with attackers and will flee from attackers leaving his minions to fight for him. However, defeat all the goblins he rules over and he will attack you by trying to crush you with his weight and jumping on you.

The sixth enemy is the second elite enemy, the black knight. He dashes towards the player to deal a lethal and wide range strike.

The seven enemy is the third and last elite enemy, the archer. The archer flees from the player when he is too close and fires at the player when he is at a safe distance. He is found within corridors where he can make the most of his ranged advantage.

The three mini bosses are called the necromancer, the fire overlord and the lightning magus. The final boss is up to you to figure out.
