Prison Break

Prison Break is a top down co-op roguelike, hack and slash. You play as two prisoners trying to escape the cyberpunk prison while fighting guards and the wardens on the way out.

I was one of two programmers on Prison break, I was focused on the gameplay and combat systems.

The game is in development and can be found on Itch.io at https://conglomer8-games.itch.io/prison-break

I worked as one of two programmers in a group of eight on prison break. We keep track of tasks weekly and have two weekly meetings for keeping track of what is being done.

We are using a git repository I set up for source control.

I worked on various systems in the game including:

  • Player Input/Movement

  • Weapons/Attacks

  • Item System

  • Status Effects

  • Saving/Loading

The game has two characters with widely different playstyles.

Dev is a fast ranged character, they run around enemies avoiding fire and can stun enemies.

Axi is a slower melee character, he has more health and defense and knocks enemies away on combo hits.

The game can be played either single player or co-op.
