Game Explanation and Gameplay

This was the main game project for COMP30019 - Graphics & Interactions

Game Explanation

Our game is a first person shooter (FPS), based in a post-apocalyptic world where COVID-19 has ravaged the world's population. You assume the role of an average manager, intent on locating and distributing the vaccine to finally put an end to the pandemic. However this vaccine is held in a nearby shopping center, defended by a horde of Karens who want nothing more than to see the world burn, having succumbed to the frustrations of state-enforced lockdown long ago.

Your objective, to enter the shopping center, and collect critical supplies for the residents in your community, all the while doing the following:

1. Avoiding incineration at the hands of the Karens' powerful fire attacks
2. Maintaining an appropriate 1.5m social distance, or else risk contracting COVID-19 from the Karens themselves
3. Surviving long enough to discover the super vaccine, and taking it when it appears

Points are accrued for gathering supplies, defeating Karens, and surviving levels. Health packs will also randomly spawn, that will allow the player to recover any lost health. The game takes on a classic arcade 'survival' format, that is, the player plays until he/she finally falls to the Karen hordes, an inevitability since each level rises in difficulty to eventually impossible scenarios.

Assets

To conserve time and focus on gameplay elements, many of the gameplay assets were sourced from third parties online:

• Gun sourced from the 'Sci-Fi Weapons' free pack at DevAssets.
• Flashlight sourced from Unity Asset Store.
• Toilet paper sourced from Done3d
• N95 mask sourced from TurboSquid.
• The supermarket environment sourced from Unity Assest Store.
• 'Minecraft Steve' object, sourced from Clara.io.

To ensure a consistent aesthetic for the game in spite of these different sources of objects, the toon shader (see Toon Shader section) was utilized for all objects.

By the way, here is my honest review: COMP30019 sucks and not worth your tution fee. Rubric is vauge, while markers are conservative and very subjective, and the fact is you can just look for the content off the internet or alumni repositories if interested. If you are from UniMelb, avoid this subject at all cost.
