A Cyberpunk Hack n'Slash Game
[Code:09] is a cyberpunk hack-and-slash game project designed and developed by Unity Engine. The player will control an unlucky man who has been forced to reform to a humanoid in the dark city, defeat all the enemy who blocks the way and finally get revenge on the guy who lied to him.
This project was created by Kevin Sang (3D Modeller & Animator), JingYi Chen (Programmer) and myself.
As I am the type of person who likes to explore a game's background setting and world build, I wanted to create a game that presents my thoughts about a dystopia cyberpunk world and the different classes people live in through the game's world. Hence, my research question is:
"Through level design, how can I reward player exploration and increase engagement in the game world to fuel the generation of emergent narratives and stories through the game spaces?"
My main challenge for this project was to figure out a way to design exciting levels for the player that reflects my research direction. In addition, this is the first colossal-size project I have made. I am not confident in my abilities, but I wish to do my best to finish the game on time. In this project, I also want to improve my game development skill and exhibit what I have learned through the three years of study in the digital design game pathway.
