Overview
Assassin Assessment is my two-quarter capstone project. A 3D wave-survival game with stylized 2D elements for weapons, items, and enemies. Our four-person team includes two artists, one level designer/programmer hybrid, and me in a combined systems design, level design, lead programmer, and producer role. All programming is done in Blueprints.
You play as an assassin undergoing your first evaluation. A secretive organization drops you into an arena where you must survive waves of clone enemies as replicas of real assassins. The experience opens in a briefing room, followed by a descent into the arena via an elevator before the waves begin.
What I Built:
Core Systems: Implemented the inventory, interaction system, currency flow, four buy-station types (weapons, meds, abilities, and upgrades), door progression, and the manager systems tying them together.
Combat & AI: Created the melee enemy, exploding enemy, and spawner logic.
Level Design: Designed the circular arena divided into four sectors. Only one is accessible at the start—players unlock new sectors through doors tied to currency. Each sector follows a compact, paintball-arena/gunfight-style layout meant to keep combat dynamic.
Programming & Production: Took lead responsibility for the Blueprints backbone, coordinated with teammates on priorities, and kept documentation and direction consistent week-to-week.
