Space Marine

Space Marine is a top-down, wave-based, shooter where our hero is trapped on a distant planet and must survive waves of deadly aliens until help arrives

Features:

• Full mouse, keyboard, and controller support

• UI includes wave counter, player health, and kill count

• Waves get progressively harder as you continue to fight

• Health pickups are located around the map for when you take damage

• Audio and muzzle flashes add for rifle to enhance immersion

• Death animation for when the player, or alien's, health reaches zero

• Alien attack animations and constant tracking towards player location

Lessons Learned:

• Hit registration from rifle using line tracing

• Adding animations using Animgraph and State Machine

• Registering damage from aliens and syncing with attack animation

• Placing and activating alien spawn points at random locations around the map

• Setting kill count and registering damage to aliens

Future Improvements:

• Main menu screen with character select

• Weapon pickups and additional power ups in level

• New aliens and boss battles at every 5 waves
