As part of my personal and professional development I take on small projects to help me learn new techniques and stay up to date with current trends. I'll be sharing some examples as they become presentable.Space Invaders• A recreation of the classic arcade game using the Valkyrie Engine to get all of the logic and graphic elements integrated into a non-installable executable.• Game logic is based of of data I gathered through watching YouTube videos and timing everything. Because of that, don't expect this recreation to be exactly like the original. I merely captured the 'spirit' of the game.• Features multiple camera views, a help menu, touch controls, and an interactive arcade cabinet. • Disclaimer: I am not the original designer of this came. I am only recreating Space Invaders as a learning tool. All praise for the game design, sounds, and ingenuity goes straight to the talented guys from Taito. What they achieved is amazing.•A link to the video: http://www.liquidfaith.com/tgusler/files/SpaceInvaders/20181213-SpaceInvaders01.mp4
