The Odyssey

The Odyssey is a 1-3 player local co-op roguelike game that I developed for the Fall 2022 offering of IAT 410 at Simon Fraser University. Journey East with your friends to get as far as possible and destroy The Hive!

EPILEPSY WARNING. Lots of flashing particle effects. There also seems to be a bug with emissive materials that can occur where the screen briefly explodes with a flash of colour that I am looking into.

GAMEPAD REQUIRED. A keyboard/mouse scheme is on the way but currently only controllers are supported. That being said, you do need a mouse to interact with the settings menu— full menu support of controller is also coming.

This is my 2nd game in Unity, and I decided to challenge myself with this course and work on the project solo. I also didn't have any experience with rigging or animation going into the project, so I learned a ton of things over the last 3 months. All of the code, 3D models and animation, and in-game (not the trailer) music was created by myself. Sound effects and iconography (e.g. the icons for runes) are from external sources. 

There was a huge crunch to get this project done by the deadline, and as a result, things like the music and sound effects were done in a rush, and I'm not completely happy with them. There are also only a few magic spells to learn at shrines. If I do work on this project further, I expect these things to improve. I was surprised by how positive of a response this game received during the showcase as I initially didn't plan on releasing it. While I will be starting to work on another game soon, I may make a few updates to this one in the future. Enjoy!
