Clone Wars Game
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
This is a game I made in about a month for a friend of mine (girlfriend's nephew who is 9). It was loosely inspired by DICE's Battlefront series. There are two modes: singleplayer, a sort of survival mode against droids, and a multiplayer mode, which is just a race to 10 kills. Players in multiplayer are assigned either the Jedi or the Confederation factions, based on the order in which they join the game.
LAN Multiplayer instructions:
- Follow the server instructions here: https://github.com/Jriles/cloneWarsGameServer to get the server downloaded and running on your network.
- Once the server is running, boot up the game client downloaded from here
- Click the multiplayer and enter the host's local IP address. If you downloaded and ran the server on your machine, this is your machine's IP address.
- Share the host's IP with any other players joining the match. Enter this on the multiplayer menu screen as well as a gamer tag.
- The game will only start once all players have joined the match. Match size is covered in the above GitHub link/instructions.
- ONE ISSUE WE HAD: If you are connected to a wifi extender, and the host/other players are connected to another extender/core network, you will not be able to play together. Please connect to the same network.
Single-player instructions:
- Click single player from the main menu.
- Shoot the droids. They should arrive in waves. There are 10 waves.
- Boom you win!
Some things I'm proud of in this game:
- Third-person shooter/camera issue (where do the lasers go/come from?)
- Multiplayer that doesn't use Unity's framework
- all kinds of problems around syncing state on multiple clients
- Post-processing on the graphics
- Animations: there is a complete(ish) suite of animations (walking/shooting/taking damage/dying) all made possible by Mixamo.
- There's a story about how I got introduced to this program I won't bore you with but it defines serendipity.
- Speed of development. This is not my cleanest code, but it is one of the fastest projects I've worked on.
- multithreaded programming
