OFF WITH YOUR HEAD

Off with your head was my third year team project. It is a rogue like set in a grimdark alternate history of the French revolution where the player is an resurrected abomination that switches arms and heads to fight enemies.

​

The main catacomb level is randomly generated using square rooms piece and which I took full lead on.

​

It was a interesting challenge that took multiple iterations before I landed on a design that worked and the team was happy with. One interesting issue I encounter was that if I made rooms too similar it of course made the levels seem boring and uninspired but if i made rooms that stood out visually it would reveal the tiling and repeating nature of our random generation system. So it was important for me to make all the rooms visual interesting but not overwhelming. In the end i ended up making dead end and collectible rooms stand out because they were seen much less in the generation.
