Concept
The final game stuck fairly closely to the (admittedly loose) base concept. It has fast, momentum based movement, a score multiplier based on speed and a high score system, multiple levels and medals for score achievements. I would've liked to add more to the game, more levels and enemy types, sound effects and music, as well as improving the general level of polish in the game, however I was busy with other assignments and didn't have the time to implement these to a level I would be happy with. Overall, I am more or less happy with how the game turned out and think I executed the initial concept fairly well.

Feedback

Much of the feedback I received during the testing session was pertaining to missing features at the time like a lack of menu or high score screen, and a lack of audio. Many of these features have since been added. A couple of bugs were pointed out, such as enemies occasionally moving through walls which have since been addressed and fixed.

Assets

I made quite a few assets during the development of Cyberskate. Roughly 25 scripts, 7 unique spritesheets for animations and tiles, and a number of prefabs.

Scripts:

PlayerFields - A script holding most of the key data for the player, handling the score, multiplier, dash cooldowns, knockback state, and other similar properties. The main purpose of this script was to consolidate various information about the player that will need to be accessed across several scripts.

PlayerSkateMovement - Handles basic left/right movement of the player, as well as crouching and putting the player into a turning state.

PlayerFriction - Reduces the players speed over time at a rate relative to how fast they are going.

PlayerGravity - A custom implementation of gravity to manually set an acceleration and terminal velocity.

PlayerJump - Handles jumping.

PlayerWallJump - Handles wall jumping

PlayerSetWallJump - A script tied to two triggers on the side of the player to check if they are close enough to a wall to perform a wall jump, and sets the state accordingly.

PlayerKnockback - Handles putting the player into a knockback state.

SetGrounded - Sets the player to a grounded state when they touch the ground.

EnemySetGrounded - Same as SetGrounded, but modified to work with enemies.

EnemyGravity - Same as PlayerGravity, but modified to work with enemies.

EnemyPatrol - Simple logic to instruct an enemy to walk between two set points.

EnemyDeath - Destroys the attached enemy when colliding with the player fast enough.

Enemy1Attack - Handles both putting triggering the Punchbot's attack when the player is raycast in a certain distance in front of the enemy as well as the attack logic. The attack logic involves moving the enemy at the appropriate times and setting the punch hitbox and making the Punchbot invulnerable for the duration of the attack. This logic is manipulated using animation events to ensure everything lines up right with the animation.

Enemy2ShieldSideSwitch - Changes the position of the shield hitbox of the Shieldbot to match the direction they're facing.

Killzone - Respawns the player nearby when they fall into a killbox.

And several smaller scripts to handle menus and UI:

ChangeMedal

EndLevel

GoToLevel

GoToNextLevel

ReturnToTitle

SetUIScore

SetUIScoreLevelSelect

SwitchScene

Spritesheets

RobitMove - A collection of basic animation sprites for player movement and idling

RobitExtras - An extended set of player animation sprites including knockback, falling and turning sprites.

Enemy1 - Punchbot idle, walking and attacking sprites

Enemy2 - Shieldbot idle and walking sprites

DashBar - A single sprite for the dash charge UI

Medals - Three differently coloured medal sprites for menus, representing bronze, silver and gold.

WallsRed - A set of tiles for the level layouts.

I also made a rule tile from WallsRed to automatically use the correct tile based on nearby tiles. All of these sprites were created by myself using www.piskelapp.com.

Prefabs

Player - The player, with all relevant scripts already attached and the animation controller set up.

Punchbot - A Punchbot enemy, with all relevant scripts attached and the animation controller set up, but no patrol path.

Shieldbot - A Shieldbot enemy with all relevant scripts and no patrol path.

EnemyPatrol - To points for enemies to patrol between, used mostly for putting multiple enemies on the same path.

PunchbotWithPatrol - A Punchbot with an EnemyPatrol attached and connected to make placing enemies easier.

ShieldbotWithPatrol - A Shieldbot with an EnemyPatrol attached and connected to make placing enemies easier.

RedWall - A tile palette for creating levels.

UI - The mid level UI

Grid - An empty tilemap set up to function as the walls for a level.

Killbox - A simple trigger collider to respawn the player when they fall out of the map.

EndLevel - A simple trigger for saving score data and loading the level complete screen.

I also created three animation controllers: one for the player, one for the Punchbots and one for the Shieldbots.

All of the above assets were created solely by myself.
