Smiling Scrolls 2D (Formerly Spacegame 2D the Demo)

2D Shooter Project Details

• Created for Educational Purposes (MSU CAS 117)
• First ever time making a 2D game with Unity! This was an invaluable lesson for learning how to design UI, Scenes, and character assets!
• It took around 2 days from the tutorial to the final release to finish
• Released a day one patch adding in a 4th level, new music, new cutscene, UI tweaks, and a new enemy design! (2/13/2024)

Modifications

• Quality of Life: Revamped UI and Menus styled in the fashion of Elder Scrolls
• Technical: Complete Soundscape, Soundtrack and texture overhaul from a wide variety of sources credited below

• Levels: Added boss fight/challenge arena as the final stage as well as a bonus horde mode survival level
• Animation: Retextured and animated sprites from the Elder Scrolls Arena and Elder Scrolls Daggerfall as character models
