For my second school project, the brief was to create a 2.5D platformer for Blender, with the following conditions:

• No budget
• 4-week time limit (not including planning, which we were given a single week for)
• 2 levels / scenes
• Must be a 2.5D platformer with:
  • An end screen
  • A main menu
• 3 3D models
  • The player character must be one

What I decided to do for my game is one of the most complex things I’ve had to do in 4 weeks:

• Level creation engine
  • Includes level testing
  • Online sharing
  • Level saving
• On-screen keyboard
• Full remake of the Unity Input System
  • You can set custom mapping for both controller and keyboard
    • They save too!
• Skins
  • 6 of them, if I remember correctly
• Collectables
• Fully animated main menu
• Rewrote part of the Unity time system for more accurate calculations for me
  • Yes, I understand this is bad practice, but it was more of a patch than anything, and I only had 4 weeks
• A hard mode difficulty option
• A gravity control engine

• Extra credits not given in the video:
  • Main menu theme is a remix of the BattleBlock Theater song ‘Buckle Your Pants,’ provided by the ringtones on the BattleBlock Theater website
  • Strawberry pick-up sound is the pick-up sound for gems in BattleBlock Theater, also provided by the ringtones on the BattleBlock Theater website
  • The level end sound is also from the ringtones pack on the BattleBlock Theater website, it is the flag reached sound

• Grades:
  • Ungraded
