EECS 494: P1 - Metroid

Unity remaster of Metroid (NES, 1986) Collaborated with a partner to develop a short remaster of the NES classic in Unity.
Key Contributions:
- Developed engaging interactions for key game elements, including damage, lava, collectable pickups, and seamless door navigation.
- Designed and implemented gameplay mechanics for a range of collectables, such as health restoratives, long beam upgrades, and missile ammunition, enriching the overall gaming experience.
- Engineered a responsive player interface and camera system that follows the player, maintaining position limitations based on room types and updating UI to reflect player inventory.
- Created a unique chargeable beam mechanic allowing players to execute higher jumps, defeat multiple enemies, and destroy destructible walls; designed sprites for different Super Beam charge levels.
- Accurately placed collectibles and enemies in their original map locations and developed approximately half of the custom level to showcase the Super Beam mechanic.
- Added simple cheat functionalities, including "God Mode" activation and seamless switching between the original and the custom game level.
This project strengthened my proficiency in game design, object-oriented programming, and collaborative development while enhancing my problem-solving abilities through creative mechanic implementations and level design.
