Shadow Mining

Backstory

Play as a Mellator worker, you get trapped in a cave-in. The entrance is nowhere in sight and you are forced to dive deeper into the mines, seeking a new exit. Explore a mysterious and unknown environment and discover how you can escape the mines.  

Control scheme:

WASD: Change character orientation (A - face left, W- face away, S- face towards camera, D- face right)

Shift: Sprint (When the character has stamina)

Space: Swing Pick/Gather

Credits:

Shadow mining is a solo-developed project that I started around January of 2022. The project uses quite a handful of assets free and paid. Below is the list of assets, music, frameworks, etc. 

Assets:

Placeholder animations for the main character: Villager Animations 

More animations for the humanoid rig: Basic Motions

The rocks: Low poly styled rocks

The rune under the shield: Lowpoly Environment

The shard I designed in Blender, the particles I create in Unity from scratch. 

Audio/Music:

Edited in Adobe Audition and provided from a paid course I took over winter break.

Frameworks: 

Sequencer framework: Feel | Particles/Effects

Inverse Kinematics calculations: Final IK | Animation Tools

Tips [Spoilers]:

**If you get very stuck in the game**

This is currently just a prototype of the game, so there is no implementation of escaping the mines. The level posted will allow you  to mine rocks to collect shards, and shatter the shield when you have gathered three shards.
