Overview
|
The Data-Driven Roguelike was a project focused on data driven design: using blueprints of agents, entities, items, and maps to allow designers to build components of the game without requiring compilation of the game or a programmer to create each asset for them.
Everything in the project was implemented using my custom C++ Engine. |
