Button Pressing Game
(The title is a work in progress)
An online PvP game where you race to be the first to press a specific combination of keys.
1-4+ players with support to scale this up.
My Contribution:
Programming
I created the multiplayer system using Unity Netcode for GameObjects.
This uses Relay and the MultiplayerServices to connect the players through matchmaking - they click find a game, and it handles creating a lobby (using a host-client model) and assigning anyone else matchmaking into the open player spots.
While the core gameplay is relatively simple, the networking remains the biggest challenge for this project. It's given me an insight on how many unforeseen problems can show up, and while I've managed to solve every one so far, I anticipate there's many more to come.
Art
This project gave me the push to start learning the drawing software, Krita, where I was able to create an example player sprite set.
I plan on using this to keep improving my skills, to create a variety of characters.
Plans:
The game is currently at an early testing stage.
The core gameplay loop and networking are entirely functional, so right now I'm working on collecting user feedback to gauge opinions on the game.
