Overview
Spirit Ascension is the beginning of my journey in game development, providing me with hands-on experience and laying the foundation for my future projects.
This project has been a crucial, enabling me to gain skills in creating a 2D game.
Working with my peers, we developed Spirit Ascension using JavaScript and HTML, which allowed us to focus on core game mechanics and optimization.
The streamlined approach helped us maintain flexibility and rapid changes and improvements to the project.
Throughout this project, I refined several aspects of personal game development skills. I gained a deeper understanding of
animation timing, ensuring that character movements felt responsive and visually engaging as well as the other objects in the scene. I also dived into game-specific functionality, developing unique mechanics and features that brought the game to life, such as player input handling, event triggers and things such as player boost.
Spirit Ascension served as a hands-on project for me to apply my newly found knowledge of programming in a practical, real-world setting. While also pushing the boundaries of what I
thought possible for my first game project. The experience has not only refined my technical skills but also taught me the value of collaboration in development,
which will be essential in my future game development endeavors.
