What is Arkmaster?
*Work in Progress*
Many years ago, a man by the name of Alastor stole a sacred relic found deep in the jungle. With this relic, The Arkmaster's Eye, he seized the world's resources and eventually took control of everything. Contacted by an unknown being, you are now tasked with taking him down once and for all...
Arkmaster is the first game I ever made in Unity. I.E. My first "real" video game project. This was the project where I taught myself how to code, how to use professional game development software, and how to make pixel art for games, as well as where I truly discovered my love for video game development. Not going to lie, the first year was rough, having zero experience going into this thing, as well as no formal teaching, made for a near insurmountable challenge. But I enjoyed every second of it. That's not to say that everything I made in this game is perfect, because I can assure you, it is not. Sometimes I swear my willpower alone holds it all together. With that aside, I have countless memories working on this game, and I will see it through to completion.
Overall, the biggest thing I should have kept in mind when designing this game was its scope. Perhaps my ambitious 20+ weapons, 8 worlds, and carefully crafted levels were a bit too much to start with. However, I've learned so much about game mechanics and development through it, and would much rather have one big game to release rather than a whole bunch of insignificant smaller ones.
