Zelda-Like

This was my first more advanced project where I wanted to see what I could do. Less focus on the whole package and more on what I thought might make interesting gameplay mechanics. I started with a familiar Zelda-Like base and began prototyping ideas from there.

To expand on what I had learned, attempting to implement my own ideas.

______________________Practice_______________________________________________________

* Player Character and Controller. Input management.

* Camera control and functions.

* Variety of Enemies with AI.

* Hazards, attacks, projectiles. Practice with Hitboxes and Hit Detection.

* Damage and Health systems. Varied damage impact and number popups.

* Powerups, Collectables, enemy drops.

* Energy and Resource systems.

* Basic UI, Status indicators, etc.

* Pause and Inventory menus.

* Simple Pixel Art and Animation practice.

* Music and Sound Effects.

______________________Tools___________________________________________________________

* GameMaker 2 Engine using GML

* Jsfxr - 8bit sfx generator

* Some debugging tools/functions I had created. This mainly included visual aids at runtime such as displaying Instance ID's, camera/target indicator, and popup messages with specific output for non-error concerns.
