The Janitor

This game was made for the 2nd Facepunch game jam, I learned how to use their game engine. The game is only playable with their steam game until Valve approve the distrubtion of standalone games  as it uses Source 2.

I worked in a team of 2, I did all of the programming for the game and helped with technical art (shaders), I had a month to both learn how to use the game engine and make the game. The games code is written in C#, with a component system similar to Unity.

I spent the first week prototyping different aspects of the game and learning how to use the engine, some things I had to prototype/learn were...

• Rendering to a texture
• Our core gameplay loop
• Source 2 materials
• Source 2 models
• Shaders
• Signed distance field library
• How to transition smoothly between scenes
• Publishing our game and dealing with menus, loading and asset uploading 

Features I created for the game

• Magnet gun, picking up physics props and throwing them
• Checkpoint system with score saving and new game options.
• Timeline system to time story game events like dialogues, moving objects and scene switches.
• Weapon pickups
• Breaking glass and tracking stats.
• Elevators
• Final Boss
• 4 chambers with different puzzles, cleaning liquid, tracking the amount of liquid left.
