Highlights
Combat
Full combat with left click melee attack, right click range attack and four unique abilities that synergies with each other, plus a stun debuff.
The Abilities:
- Dash: Dashes through enemies slicing them up while being invulnerable
- Groundpound: Stuns enemies and pushes them back
- Hand pull: Pull enemies towards the player and stuns them
- Firebreath: Laser with high damage
Interaction with the world
I made it so the groundpound and pull abilities interacted with breakable objects, looked really good with the break animation from the groups technical artists.
Scripted event
I created the scripted event leading up to the boss of the game. Camera control, shake, player movement, falling debris etc.
Camera panning
Level designers added a natural lookout spot here and I decided to make the camera pan kind of like in Hades, hiding the UI.
