Built prototype of PC/Mobile dungeon crawler which uses simple touch controls for dynamic real time combat, in lieu of traditional turn-based rpg mechanics. Used prototype to improve working knowledge of Unity, learning newer features, Unity Canvas UI, improved memory management, and structuring a game engine (menus, scenes, saving, loading, exploration, combat, audio, and clean transitions) from scratch.
