Drogon

Infinite Runner Casual Shooting Game

My Approach

"Drogon" drew inspiration from the majestic dragons in Game of Thrones.
The aim was to craft a straightforward, infinite runner style game where players could fly, breathe fire, and engage in aerial combat with other dragons.

My Approach

Vision and Innovation

My Approach

Envisioned as a fun and challenging game, inspired by flash games on Miniclip.
The innovative aspect was creating an engaging and action-packed environment, offering players a constant thrill and excitement throughout their gameplay.

My Approach

Resolving Complex Problems

My Approach

One complex issue we encountered was the repetition of the environment, which caused some visual jitter.
To address this, we separated the hills and sky elements to ensure a smoother regeneration and maintain a visually appealing experience

My Approach

Identifying Unique Challenges

My Approach

A significant challenge we faced during the development was the inconsistency in fire generation and AI dragon placement, leading to issues with AI not being hit by the fire.
To address this, we introduced sphere collision detection for the fire, which greatly improved accuracy and ensured that the AI dragons were effectively targeted and defeated.

My Approach

User-Centric Design

My Approach

The aim was straightforward: shoot and survive for as long as possible.
The game's colour scheme and font style deliberately resembled that of Game of Thrones, creating a sense of familiarity and adding an element of connection.

My Approach

Meeting User Needs

My Approach

Players enjoyed the game.
And, to reach a broader audience, we created a WebGL build and hosted it on itch.io, allowing many more people to access and enjoy "Drogon."
