Zablek's Siege

Project Overview Zablek's Siege is a 2D hand-drawn platformer featuring NPCs, a dialog system, an inventory, and multiple levels. Although the project remains unfinished, it provided significant learning opportunities and skill development. Technical Skills and Tools During the development of Zablek's Siege, I gained proficiency in Unity and C#, essential for game development. Additionally, I improved my skills in Photoshop and Adobe Fresco for drawing and animating sprites, as well as creating sound effects. Design Patterns and Best Practices I learned and implemented key design patterns such as Singleton, Strategy, and Observer. These patterns were crucial for managing the game's architecture and improving code maintainability and scalability. Lessons Learned One major takeaway from this project was understanding the challenges of solo game development, especially for RPGs. Balancing a complex project with limited free time highlighted the importance of project scope and realistic goal-setting.
