Aegis

Aegis is a medieval, low-fantasy dungeon crawl ARPG prototype.

You are a paladin sent to cleanse a corrupted village. Build Runic Power with Holy Cleave, Shield Bash and well-timed dodges, then spend it on Lightning Spear and Smite. Legendary items replace your base abilities while equipped, so you can change your build at any time.

What is mine and what is not

Aegis was made by a team of four for IGB190 at QUT. It is built on the ARPG template project that QUT provides for the unit: the core systems (movement, items, enemies and UI) come from that template.

The paladin’s abilities were built by me on top of it. I implemented the player abilities and the legendary item abilities, with their animations and effects, and designed 10 of the 13.
