3D Space Invaders

Summary:

          3D Space Invaders is a 3d version of the classic game re-imagined by a group of students. In 3D Space Invaders you control a ship that is trying to shoot down aliens as the aliens try to destroy buildings you are protecting. Make it as far as you can without dying to obtain as many points as possible. Take portals to go back to the original space invaders to play for bonus points.

My role and experience:

          3D Space Invaders started as a school project where we had one week to re-create a classic video game, one week to make a modern version of the game, and lastly one week to add new mechanics to the game to enhance gameplay. My role on this Project was that of Game Designer and Game Developer. I coded the player controller allowing the player to move, shoot, and take damage. I coded some particle effects to work with the player controller for when certain actions happen. I created the scrolling background. I also coded the Bullet and some of the bullet interactions with the enemies.

​

         My experience working on 3D Space Invaders was a fun one for sure due to how much we had to change the game throughout the month due to the layout of the project stated above. In the first week I worked hard on recreating the player controller and shot speed of the original Space Invaders. In the second week we had to bring the game to a more modern standard so we decided to change the game over to 3D and make it an endless runner type of game. For the second week I worked on the 3D player controller system and everything else I did for week but needed to redo it since our recreation was in unity 2D.  For the third week we worked on adding new mechanics to our modern version of Space Invaders. For the player ship I added shields, screen warping, and a multishot. We also wanted to add a portal to take the player back to the original version of the game to play for bonus points but since the original was coded in 2D and the modern one was in 3D it lead to many problems so we had to recode our original to be 3D but look like 2D.
