Wicked Wizards is a game that is a culmination of the Bradley Game Design class of 2023.
It is a 3D Networked Multiplayer Character Based FPS that our 30+ team worked on for nearly a year to perfect to the best of
our abilities. This project taught me a lot about working in a large team as well as the many trials and tribulations
that come with Network Programming.
Login/Database
I created and implemented all the networking that occurs outside of the game itself.
In this video, you can see there is a login process. This is used to save player settings between sessions
and to allow us to store statistics and player data in regards to their actions in game. Such as which class
they prefer to use, how much damage they do as each class, how often they take damage, and other statistics that
assist with balancing.
There are also several security measures put into place in order to keep other's accounts safe. Such as
password inscription and the ability to reset your password if you forget it.
Multiplayer
This includes the multiplayer relay network that allows for others to play at the same time.
While the networking and gameplay using it were handled by other people when you spawn in, I was the one
who handled the entire lobby and queuing up system. Allowing you to see all the people who have open lobbies
as well as allowing you to create your own.
I was also the one who implemented all of the functionality from the moment you launch the game
to the moment you spawn in the game world after reading up.
VFX
I worked very closely with the VFX artist to implement all of the player-related VFX in a satisfying way.
