RADICAL MAGNETS ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK

Project Description

This project was meant to be a training exercise for the team, both in team-work and further development of existing skills picked up over the four years of the team’s university career. To this end, we at Eschaton decided the best approach would be to get the team to develop a smaller game as per an extended game jam, and as a group we chose to emulate arcade-style games using Unity over the 2024 summer.

Everything is original work except for, course, what the Unity Engine provides such as:

  • Collision detection and physics

  • Rendering systems

  • Platform functionality

  • And so on

The demo contains various displays of the teams ability, such as the various UI art, sprite-work, endless runner game behavior, scoring and leaderboard systems, various power-ups and de-buffs, mobile platform controls functionality, and so on.

The goals for this project were thus:

  • To give the team a chance to showcase their skills learned throughout their tenure as a student.

  • Capitalize on the opportunity to try building for a platform different than just PC.

  • Give the team experience in working as a team, and following a structure conducive towards group-work.
