Project DifficultiesOne of my more unique enemy ideas was one which causes damage if they're in view, making the player avert their eyes. While it did seem doable, I didn't initially know how to approach it.
My SolutionAfter some research, I found that the Unity's mesh renderer component has a built in 'isVisible' function which made it very easy to create the desired behavior with a simple 'if' statement.

Strongest AspectLevel design took up more time than any other part of development and it really shows.
Using an in-editor tool like ProBuilder, I was able to build and iterate on my designs without going between softwares, allowing me to quickly find a balance between maps that are visually appealing while also playing well.
The subway map (pictured left) was the biggest and most intricate, with multiple paths through the level.
