Project Info

👤Role : Gameplay Programmer

👥Team Size: 1

⏳Time Frame: 2 week

⚙️ Engine: Unity (C#)

I developed an infinite scroller game in Unity (C#) where the primary goal is to travel as far as possible while avoiding obstacles. The project was both challenging and rewarding, allowing me to deepen my understanding of game development and optimization.

One of the most significant challenges I encountered was ensuring the camera moved smoothly forward while dynamically generating and removing "tiles" to create the illusion of an endless world. This required meticulous memory management to prevent leaks and ensure optimal performance, which was crucial for maintaining a seamless player experience.

I’m particularly proud of implementing a season-changing mechanic that transitions every 16 seconds, adding variety and depth to the gameplay as the player progresses. Additionally, I designed various enemy types that spawn randomly, ensuring each playthrough feels unique and keeping the player engaged.

The project was a great learning experience, as it involved creating and managing numerous animations, customizing enemy prefabs for each season, and randomly placing collectibles like coins to enhance the scoring system. I also implemented an incremental speed increase every 8 seconds to ramp up the difficulty, as well as a double-jump mechanic with full feedback (both visual and audio), which added a fun layer of interactivity. Pushing myself beyond the initial requirements allowed me to significantly level up my skills and deliver a polished product.

Recently, I adapted the game for mobile browsers, which was relatively straightforward due to the game’s simple design. This required only minor adjustments, and I was pleased with how well it performed across different devices.
