Thank the Gods, a Sanctifier has arrived in these trying times! Use your holy bow and arrow to invoke righteous vengeance of the Nine Hells' foul creatures. Just be mindful of where your arrow flies: you only have one!
This game was a product of a week-long game jam over the course of Spring break. The theme for this game jam was also Dungeons & Dragons inspired: "one-shot". I worked on a team of 7 and was one of the main gameplay programmers as well as a level designer and vfx producer.
This is one of the most complete game jam products I've worked on, having completely modular and scalable upgrades and replayability. This project was commented to be similar to a senior-quality work in my game design degree track.
