Medusa

Medusa is a game that seeks to add a sympathetic twist to the classic Greek myth. You start out playing as Perseus, traveling the Medusa's lair to slay her in typical adventure-game fashion. As you are about to slay her, the game shifts, and you now begin anew playing as Medusa before her curse. You go through her day as a priestess, witness her transformation, and are forced to navigate her escape from death.

What I Did on This Project

Programmed Perseus's combat system, as well as the enemy AI, which tracked the player's location and moved toward it by the most direct route, attacking when in range
Created Medusa's stone vision, which turned enemies within a certain area in front of her into stone, freezing them in place and transforming their sprites
Implemented a dialogue system, allowing for the player to interact with their environment and NPCs
Took assets from the artists and implemented them as in-game animations
Used said assets and Unity's built-in systems to create cutscenes to give the story more depth
