Learning by doing
I've always been an advocate that errors and fails make the humans wise. The more you try and research, the more you will learn. What are you waiting for?
Beat The Beats
Frenetic Boxing Rythm VR game made with Unity
Beat The Beats
Unity
Beat the Beats is a rythm game with boxing movements as our main mechanic. This is my first own game developed as part of the tiny Creative team of Parallel Circles. (September 2021 - Currently working)
What I did
I was main developer together with Lucas González. I focused on the mechanics and gameplay polishing, being also the Level Designer.
Work
Beat the Beats' gameplay is based on breaking, dodgeing or blocking incoming elements following the music's
rythm. I implemented the gameplay loop of a level and iterated on the player's interaction with all the elements
(we have elements to hit coming from 10 different directions, dodges coming from left-right, and blockers coming
from 4 directions). All elements' trajectory is defined by a Spline designed to replicate boxing movements, like incoming boxing
punches to dodge.
The game has plenty of playable tracks (currently +30, more incoming) which were selected one by one from creative music libraries, from artists
directly, and we have even 4 tracks made specially for the game.
We have also the Challenge gamemode, which containes one (and more to come...) challenging levels that differs from the main
mechanics. Quick Reaction is currently the challenge we have in the game, which consists in elements that popup in a grid following different patterns
that the user has to recognize to break them the fastest they can as soon as they appear.
We have leaderboards in all playable levels and a Daily level that mixes up different sections of levels of the game
and increases difficulty progressively while playing it.
