Make It Up

CAP4053 - AI for Game Programming

Story

There is a janitor working at a hotel, when some sort of drug gets applied to him. He starts to envision that all the furniture in the hotel he has treated very sloppily over the years are all attacking him. He goes through the levels, which are floors of the hotel, platforming and defeating this swarm of humanized hotel props (from his perspective), trying to save and warn his boss. These rooms could include a recreation room, restaurant, boiler room, pool, etc. At the end on the top floor, you finally discover who’s behind it all, your boss! You try to quit but end up having to fight the final boss!

Core Gameplay Loop

• Enter a level which will either be:
  • Defeat all enemies
  • Survive for a set period of time
  • Run away (chase sequence)
  • Boss battle
• Use your killing and platforming skills to complete the objective
• Find weapons or upgrades to promote progression, dropped by enemies randomly with a low chance or upon completing a level with a high chance
  • Better drops as progression happens
• Move on to the next level by entering the elevator

Visuals / Audio

The visuals are 16-bit, lighthearted, and vibrant to go with the story. Characters, enemies, weapons, and upgrades will be made by the artists while backgrounds and tilesets will use pre-made art from Unity and Itch.IO
The audio is 8-bit acquired from the Unity story or online elsewhere.

Inspirations

• Luigi's Mansion
• Death Road to Canada
• My Friend Pedro
• Hollow Knight
• Enter the Gungeon

Things To Know

• Dashing gives you some i-frames
• Hitting a projectile with the same attribute will destroy the projectile
• Zooming with scroll wheel or +/- is a thing
• Enemies have superamor when doing attacks unless hit with the correct attack
• Increased damage on consecutive hits up to a combo of 3
