Fish Fracas

Summary of Work

  • Engineered a dynamic 2D rope system in GDScript to serve as the core physical constraint between players.
  • Iterated on rope and tension variables to balance restrictive movement with slingshotty momentum.
  • Debugged the knockback system, ensuring functionality under the rope's constraints.
  • Collaborated in a team of 8 to implement experimental constraints to make a functional gameplay loop.
