Energy Grid

Energy Grid is a software project with a Unity frontend. This makes it slightly different from my other games as it has a more complex backend. I worked on this game with 5 other students for a company. You can expand your city using currency. You have energy generating buildings and currency generating buildings that use energy to function. It is your goal to balance your city properly, so you won't have too much or too little energy generation based on your population.

My Share

I made the shop system and every gameplay feature for the buildings. This includes modelling, code for placing, destroying and upgrading the buildings, balancing the game and all the money/energy calculations that happen. The buildings all have a specific place in the grid and this gets saved to a server, linked to your account so when you login, all buildings are in the right place. This is something I worked on too.

Furthermore I created most of the UI and a camera system which allows the player to zoom in and out and move towards different parts of the map by holding middle mouse button and dragging.

What I learned

I learned how to combine a complex backend with a Unity frontend. I also learned how to balance a game defining gameplay features such as all the features concerning buildings.

• Complex modelling
• Combine .Net backend with Unity frontend
• Balancing
• Restful api with Unity
