Golden Cards

Golden Cards is a small project I made together with a friend. We wanted to implement some kind of football trading cards game, so that is what we did.

The game features two teams arranged as in table football. During each turn, the captain (represented by the human player) can order the players to move, pass the ball or shoot to score. Tactical points can also be spent to use special cards such as restoring some player stamina or changing players.

Needless to say, this is a multiplayer online game, and we developed it using Unity for PC platforms. The networking system (both the client and the server) is built using a custom library using C# and mono sockets. The whole game logic is server-sided, and there is little client prediction.

Little Thugs

Synopsis

Little Thugs is a little Android game I made with a friend of mine. It’s an infinite running game with different playable characters.

In the game, you play as some ruffian dodging obstacles and gathering money while you make your best to escape from the police. Your goal, to score as much as you can.

Development

Little thugs has been really really fun to develop. It was really easy to add new mechanics and test them; and having some artist doing art assets is very moralizing.

Just for fun (and, well, to see if it actually would work properly) I decided to make the player, police car and camera static and the rest of the world dynamic, instead of the more obvious other way around. The result was highly satisfying, as the effect is not noticeable in-game, and I don’t really think it would have been much easier if I had done it in another way.

One of the things we are really proud of, is having only this little atlas with all the textures used in the game:

Every uv map is packed within this texture.

Finally, we wanted a carousel effect for the character selector, and here’s the main code for that:
