Game development process

This showcases my abilities to create a game project alone, which lasted from fall 2019 to late winter 2024, at a very part time commitment.

I am most proud of implementing local multiplayer support along with having AI enemy entities that can target multiple players with finite state machine behavior through A star Pathfinding library.

Also happy with the wave select menu, that features information such as stars earned from survival, the list of enemy units as icons, and a map preview that features moving parts, which allow players to know what to expect when mastering waves.
