Mini World Adventures

November 2021

Work in progress

A quite traditional action-adventure game with a nice story. The game is heavily inspired by classics such as The Legend of Zelda. When I first started learning Unity, I followed a guide by Mister Taft Creates to create a 'zeldalike' game. After I learnt more and gained experience, I decided to revisit the concept and start from scratch making a similar game with a proper story and level design.

Key Features

• Inventory system: The game has a versatile inventory system made using scriptable objects with 5 different categories of items that are all easily expandable with more features.
• Saving and loading: Using statues scattered around the game world, the game saves your progress and inventory into a JSON format .sugoma file.
• Lighting: With Unity's powerful Universal Render Pipeline, the game uses 2D lighting effects to add a sense of atmosphere to different areas. This is toggleable from the main menu for performance.
• Pathfinding: The enemies and bosses feature A* pathfinding.
• Multi-language support: English, German and Turkish are all supported languages with a custom expandable language loading system.

Potential Improvements

• At the start, the player needs to be guided better (with for example a quest system) so they can progress in the story.
• The Dark Forest area is very big, confusing and feels mostly empty with barely anything to find.
• Initial load from the main menu to the game world takes a long time without any progress report.
• Because the demo is incomplete, the player feels lost after the Kologrent section, because they are unable to know what sections of the game are available.
• Due to other commitments in life, the development has been temporarily paused.
