Hikayat Pak Ya: Jiwa Mutakhir is a side-scrolling fighting and action game, for Windows (Keyboard/Mouse and Controller), made in Unity.

Published on November 2024 for Final Year Project 1 and 2 assignment. (Semester 7 and 8)

The team is called WalkingFish Studio and my role was to program the player, AI for enemies, bosses, combat, abilities, animations, singletons, managers, and audio. In this project, I learned a lot about how to use the new Input System to support both Keyboard/Mouse and Controllers. I also learned process of having 2D sprites in a 3D world, and what shaders they need. Other than that, I learned more about Scriptable Objects to use them for stats, actions, and abilities.

​

Similar to ExorFist, I heavily utilized Hierarchical State machines for both Player and AI behaviours, and Game Events for most actions. This time, I started to use Unity Events so that designers won't need to write code.

​

The big challenges in this project were several story, character, design, and scope changes. We also had to change the art from 2D to 2.5D, which also changes a decent amount of the code and structure. Another challenge is performance issues. With the help of Unity's profiler, we are trying to figure out which part is causing frame drops and lag spikes.
