A 3D side-scrolling platformer built from scratch within a two-and-a-half-week sprint. The project focused on implementing responsive character movement, dynamic camera systems, and complete gameplay loop functionality without external tutorial reliance.
Robin Hood served as a rapid development challenge to test independent gameplay engineering capability under time constraints. All core systems were implemented without tutorial reference, emphasizing problem-solving and architectural clarity.
The primary objective was to build a complete, functional side-scrolling experience including movement mechanics, camera logic, enemy interactions, and audio feedback.
The camera system was engineered to maintain consistent player framing while adapting to environmental verticality. Axis constraints ensured side-scrolling clarity while preserving 3D depth.
Adjustments were made to prevent disorienting camera snapping, prioritizing smooth interpolation and player readability.
Implementing clean side-scrolling behavior in a 3D space required careful control of movement vectors and camera alignment. Balancing responsiveness with physical consistency was a key focus.
Working under a strict time constraint required prioritizing modular system design and efficient debugging workflows.
