Kage no Shuuen (Shadow's Demise) is a 3D stealth-action game reminiscent of the old Tenchus from the PSX days. The project was done with scalability and maintainable architecture in mind.
It features codewise:
- Player behaviour through an abstracted FSM pattern.
- Enemy behaviour through a flexible Behaviour Tree pattern.
- Weapon System with a flexible architecture based on inheritance. Weapons can be nearly any type or all types at the same time (E.g. a sword can be thrown, you can physically attack with shurikens equipped).
- Animations making full use of the animator in terms of layers, masks, Behaviours and events. Through Animator Controller Overrides a great variety of animations have been achieved with a single animator, shared by all entities.
- Enemy waves through Object Pools pattern and Scriptable Objects to easily create enemy waves.
It features gameplaywise:
- A player character than can run, crouch, block, dodge, lean against a wall to peek over corners, throw a hook, perform stealth executions, attack with physical weapons, throw weapons and shoot.
- Enemies that can do exactly the same as the player character can, in addition with searching behaviours upon loosing sight of the player.
- Ragdolls upon being affected by an explosion.
- A basic inventory system where weapons can be added to the player upon acquiring them in-game.
This project also made use of other Unity features like IK rigging and HDRP lighting (sky and volumetric fog).
