Play Misc Mash! (2024)

Portfolio

Role

For this project, I was the programmer and musician (and various other roles)

Project Description

Misc Mash is a 2D party fighter where 2-4 players duke it out using an assortment of wacky weapons, curious charms, and bizarre hats.

My Contributions

For this project, I contributed:

• All of the programming apart from a few item functions (which I created a robust system for my teammates to use to do those few items). This includes:

  • The menu system
  • All player logic
  • The player physics attributes (so that they were easy for my teammate to change)
  • Item distribution system
  • Item pickup system
  • Item usage system
  • Most item functionality
  • Death, damage, and launching
  • Score tracking and moving between scenes
  • Sound effect player system
  • Character animation system
  • and more

• Created bases in unity for basically everything my teammates added into the unity project so they could copy and paste all of the difficult stuff

• All of the music

• Controller support

  • Multiplayer support with dynamic adding and dropping of players
  • Two players on one keyboard (with help from a plugin)
  • Arcade machine support
  • Visual diagram of controls in pause screen

• The credits

• Some UI Art

• Building the game and making some of the itch.io page

• Helped my team learn unity, because none of them had any experience

• Keeping my team organized as well as I could

Lessons Learned

Trying to make up for lackluster effort/contributions for too many teammates for too long is actually detrimental to my physical health.
