Nozomi - Workshop Game

About the game

Nozomi is a game that was developed for my Game Design diploma. My team and I decided to go for a 3D Game with 2D characters; we used PaperZD for the Unreal Engine. This was our first game for the program, and we only had 2 months to make the game.

My Contributions

Combat System

I have developed a fully functional combat system consisting of combos and various attacks, wherein the animation triggers the damage.

Level Design

Created a fully semi-procedural level generation, controlling the difficulty, environment effect, and length of each level; also used a procedural system for the cities to make them feel different.

Mission and dialog system

A fully functional mission dialog system to control the story of the game.

AI enemies

There are three enemies types; each has a different way of attacking, some characteristics, and ways to move. Animations trigger all their attacks so that the player can predict them. They use a Nav Mesh to move towards the player and a Vision cone to detect the player.
