Over the last month I've put most of my efforts into finishing the mechanics. Every part has three upgrades, plus there's randomisation and resources so you have to be selective as you scavenge new stuff throughout a run.

Now turning my attention to my favourite bit, level design! 🗺️

Made a lot of progress but the big thing is customization is in place! You can pick one part from each of the five categories, giving a new ability or passive effect. Plan is to have 3 of each type, with 3 upgrades each, so you can make a tank with all sorts of combos. 🔧

By the start of this week I'd made a few subtle changes - rewrote the player movement to turn towards the input direction, and implemented NavMeshPlus to get some pathfinding.

Currently working on a customisation system so that the player can add different parts to the tank!

2 weeks into my current project at uni, where we were given a basic 2D shooter template to start with, and I've decided to turn it into a tank game with destructible environment and customizable parts.

Here's what I had after 1 week...

So far the project I'm most proud of is a game I made in my first year's second semester - a nature-themed movement shooter focused on 'Creation' and 'Activation' mechanics that let the player alter the environment in their favour.

It was a fun challenge getting these mechanics working! #gamedesign

Here's a short clip of how it plays - did a little bit a blueprinting to make a working character with animations, health, stamina, blocking, attacking and an interact key.
