Complete 2D Action RPG (Zenva)

Key Learnings:

• First time coding some Game Systems:

  • Inventory Systems,

  • Equippable Weapons,

  • Further Enemy AIs (incl. Ranged).

• First time using some Unity features:

  • Input System,

  • Cinemachine & Pixel Perfect Camera.

This was a lengthier Zenva course that I found the time for over the holiday period! There was a lot of new stuff to digest here and the coding elements definitely went beyond anything that I have done up until this point.

Solutions:

Challenges:

• This was the first Zenva course that I tried learning primarily from written assets and that worked quite well for me as I was able to get through the familiar parts with ease and take the time I needed to go over the newer content and concepts.

• Inventory Systems (I found this pretty tough),

• Managing assets & files on a much larger scale than previously needed.

Areas for Improvement:

• The next steps for a game like this would be to build a menu with multiple levels and a scoring system!

Final Thoughts:

A great opportunity to brush up on prior learnings from previous projects and courses while also learning a tonne of new stuff.
