itsrainingdogs!

At the beginning I had no concrete idea and put the project aside for the time being, until during a morning dog walk I had the idea of a cat as the main character who outplays or fights dogs. I decided to design a wave defence game. Once the story was roughly defined, I developed a suitable setting and started creating assets, including the cat, which I conceptualised, designed and then animated. I selected the engine "G-Develop" because it works with visual scripting and allows programming of sprites and assets without programming language knowledge. 

Programming in "G-Develop" is done via "What-If-Clauses", where conditions and actions are defined. Once the game mechanics were functioning, I added effects such as pushing enemies back when hit and shaking the screen when firing the weapon, animated a small intro and added "lose" and "win" screens as well as a closing function with the "Esc" key. In conclusion, I am very proud of the game, which was a lot of fun to develop and has a good feel to it. While creating it, I came up with many other ideas, such as different weapon types and "highscore leaderboards", which I will develop further in the future.
