Play Kitchen Khaos!
3D Arcade Game. A furious witch cursed your kitchen with absolute chaos. The dishes have come to life and will do anything to escape and not be cleaned. Clean all the dishes by the end of the shift!
🎮 GAMEPLAY
The player has to chase and capture the dishes that progressively spawn across the kitchen. These dishes will place traps or attack the player to avoid being captured. After the player captures enough dishes, they must clean them in the sink. A quick-time event triggers once in a while that forces the player to balance all the dishes they are carrying or they will slip and break all of them. The main goal is to clean a goal amount of dishes before time runs out.
🏅MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS
✔ Implemented 4 types of dishes with unique abilities designed to increase the chaos.
✔Implemented dishes' AI, including wandering, obstacle avoidance, escaping behavior, and attack patterns.
✔Implemented a spawn system that spawns dishes with weighted probabilities set by the level designer. Also, it limits the total amount of dishes to avoid overcrowing the level. Lastly, it ensures there are always dishes to meet the level's goals.
✔Implemented a level customizer to tune the time, difficulty, and goals of each level.
✔Applied Object Pooling design pattern to spawn and despawn many dishes.
✔Created a drunk effect with Unity's post-processing pipeline.
