In The Shadows

Introduction

This is my first try at making a Unity project so obviously it is far from perfect. The available builds are the version used to validate the project at 42 Paris.

The goal was to recreate a small game prototype like "Shadowmatic", a puzzle game made for mobiles in 2015, more info on www.shadowmatic.com.

You can download this project's source code at https://github.com/tac4ttack/In-the-Shadows/

Quick synopsis:

You are working for a company whose business is to clone planets. As a member of the quality assurance team, you have to "recover" missing planet's artefacts that the copy paste team forgot to process (they are the worst).

Features:

The goals of this school project were:

• Recreate the gameplay of Shadowmatic, a puzzle system based on shadow puppets.
• Have different difficulties for the puzzles (single axis rotation, dual axis rotation, rotation and translation, multiple puzzle pieces).
• Player progression save system.
• Level unlocking animation.
• Mouse and keyboard control system.
• Debug feature giving access to all levels.

I tried to push further so I added the following features:

• 3 players save slots.
• Saving system with serialization instead of using "player prefs".
• Settings panel for the audio and various other tweaks.
• A tutorial system.
• Polished scenes, engine exploration with its lightning system.

Disclaimer:

For the moment, the build is running at a fixed resolution of 1280x720 pixels, I need to add graphic settings customization.

Using the PageUp or PageDown keys will increase or decrease the graphic quality settings.
