Bunker Dash
University Game Jam 2021
Dash across the canyon to your new bunker home! But be careful of obstacles and detours, as both health and stamina is limited and you can only hold one potion at a time.
Bunker dash was created as part of a games jam held by the university with the theme 'Limited Capacity', with that brief in mind I worked with 2 designers to create a 3D platformer where you have to get across a canyon between bunkers.
To keep with the theme, we added a limited amount of health and stamina where the only way to increase either is to pick up potions, however you can only hold one at a time so you have to choose what you need more.
My contributions
I was on all the player's movement through the canyon along with the potion pickup system.
Player Movement
The players main goal is to travel between levels by getting to bunkers within a canyon, and the player controls help with that by allowing the player to walk and run throughout the game in first person and to jump over obstacles.
Health/Stamina systems
I added health and stamina bars into the game where as you run and jumps your stamina will decrease and once drained the player can only walk. The health is impacted by traps where if the player touches them they will lose health until it reaches zero then game over.
Potion Pickups
Potions have been added as pickups that the player can use to health aide them into completing the levels.
To keep with the theme of "limited capacity", the player can only pick 1 potion at a time, making the player have to choose what they feel is needed more.
The potions are:
-
Health Regeneration
-
Speed Boost
-
Stamina refill
