Mythical Freaks is a 2D fighter made in Unity. In the game, you play as a cryptid and fight other cryptids. I did all the programming while outsourcing the art and music to a couple college classmates.

Technical challenges

Some of the issues I ran into were getting the animations to work properly. I also had trouble with setting up server-side receipt validation, though it's more secure than local validation.

Lessons learned

One thing I learned is art can be difficult to make iterations for, especially when it hasn't been updated in a while. I also learned that fighting games can be tough to perfect.

Future work

Local multiplayer, better animations, more characters and stages, finishing moves, cheat codes, AI improvements, and save system optimizations
