Other Partially Developed Mechanics

Save Data

I wanted to have a save system for the game when I started and I got a very basic one working using a binary formatter. I wanted more complex save data though and that obviously required more complex setup, which I didn’t end up doing, leaving save data partially developed. A binary formatter can be used to save simple data such as int, string, float variables.

Magic

Another combat mechanic I wanted to implement was magic. I didn’t figure out how I wanted it to work exactly, but I did create some custom particle effects that would be triggered when casting.

Procedural Room Generation

The random generation of the game was meant to include the spawning of random rooms, but I didn’t spend the time to figure out checking where the door ways were in a room prefab. The base random generation is already in place due to the random enemy generation, but random rooms requires a lot more complexity than I could be burdened with at the time.

Potions

Another combat mechanic I was originally wanting was potions and grenades. Simple enough to implement, and they would use the same generation as the weapon spawning, but I didn’t have the time to complete this mechanic.
