Mission: Orbiter - 3D/2D Space Shooter

 

~To Projects~

I took the initiative to design and code an independent video game project during the summer of 2011.
I created a 3D side-scrolling web based game, complete with music, physics, and particle effects. I made use of the Unity3D engine along with C# scripts. The project took about 4 months to complete, which I then published to an online gaming website (Kongregate).
