As the title indicates, I planed this as a mixture of Pacman (Pakkuman) and Mirror’s Edge. But as soon as I realized that I wouldn’t have enough time to create a cool level with platforming action, add a custom navmesh and an appropriate AI, I scaled down the project to basically a 3D Pacman clone.<\/p>\n

But on the positive side I was able to pickup quite fast how unity3d works and even complete a playable result.\u00a0 While testing it I realized that the perspective change made quite some difference on how you play the game (as later was also confirmed in a comment by\u00a0CyberStarLight). You aren’t only controlling a character on the screen, instead you are in the game and beeing hunted (by some ghosts based on unity primitives). By this small change you already feel a lot more pressure…

Now the only things which remind me that this started with having a plattforming component is the “ghost house” which is a skyscraper in the middle of the map.<\/p>\n

But most importantly: I have finished a playable game within the short timelimit and I’m proud of it and have learned quite a lot about unity.<\/p>\n

If you want to check out my small Pacman clone, you can find it here<\/a>.
\n Don’t be shy to comment, there is something to be learned from everything, even if you hate the game. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
