Daredevil

Introduction

This is my second game project at Futuregames. It was my first time working on a co-op game and also my first experience developing for mobile.

Daredevil is a co-op stunt game where players take on one of two roles: the driver or the conductor. The driver communicates with the conductor to lift ramps by pressing the correct buttons, and the conductor can also adjust the driver's speed to help navigate obstacles.

UI

Main Menu

I created the main menu with buttons for Play, Options, Credits, and Quit using Unity's UI system. To optimize for mobile I set the FPS to 30 in the menus. I arranged UI elements with Unity's Canvas system and linked button actions to their respective functions, ensuring a smooth experience.

Connect Menu

I implemented the Connect menu adding buttons for 'Global', 'Local', and 'Back' to navigate between options. The button actions were linked to the respective functions allowing the user to select their connection type or return to the main menu.

Options Menu

I created the options menu with three sliders for adjusting master volume, music volume and SFX volume. I also implemented a 'Back' button to return the player to the previous level. The sliders were connected to the audio system to dynamically update the volume settings as the player adjusted them.

Pause Menu

I ensured that the pause menu was implemented and accessible directly from the level allowing players to choose between resuming the game, accessing the options or returning to the main menu.

Restart Level Screen

I also implemented a restart level screen after completing the level giving players the option to restart the level or return to the main menu.

VFX

Smoke Trail

I implemented a smoke trail effect using the Unity Particle System, and placed it on the bike's exhaust. This added dynamic visual feedback providing a more immersive experience.

Landing Effect

I implemented a landing effect using the Unity Particle System triggering a burst of smoke in a circular area when the bike lands. I programmed it to activate on landing to simulate the impact adding realism and visual feedback to enhance the player's experience.

Collide Effect

I created a collision effect using the Unity Particle System, where the material that the bike collides with is broken into pieces. I programmed the system to detect collisions, instantiate the appropriate particle effect, made sure that the object is breakable amd simulate the material breaking apart on impact.
