A hack-and-slash action platform game prototype. Consists of 9 levels, including 5 normal stages, and 4 boss levels. Each stage contains its own theme, and range of enemies that appear, as well as obstacles that the player may find. The game is won by defeating the final boss at the end of the linear stage sequence.

Devry University class team course project for GSP-220. References are included in the instructions pages of the main menu.

The ones who collaborated on this are:
"Kyrodo" (ME)
Christopher Harris
Ronald Demarcus
John Berg

I provided the pitch we would work on, pseudo-directed the game, and coded just about everything, except some partial coding inside the Gate object done by John Berg. I also provided the finishing touches before we turned it in. I also created some of the special effects for the bosses, using the polygon tools and the glow option as my basis.

Ronald and Chris did nearly all of the level designing, and helped add in many of the sprites we picked out.

This project took two weeks to finish, during which I had nearly no sleep, since I was the only one with any kind of programming experience. The finished project was called Soul Resonating Discord 1.0.

As a kind of side thing, I rooted out as many of the bugs as I could, changed the look and lengthiness of the instructions pages, took out excess invisible wall blocks, edited special effects placement, edited the item drop placement, fixed up some of the enemy coding, made additional finishing touches to all the levels, changed the look of the snake room, edited player and boss damages, and changed the point at which the final boss enters the final phase. I also added the delete and backspace controls, which are explained at the end of the instructions pages. I also added the references into the instructions area.

Feedback is appreciated. It is only a prototype, however, and may remain so. It should be relatively bug free now, but I warn that the moving platforms may get you stuck in the walls if you time your fall right.

I apologize for the incomplete references. We collected what we could at the beginning stages of the project, and not all the sources were properly documented.
