This project started its development during the spring of 2022 as an exam assignment for the "Graphics Programming 2" course at Howest University (part of the Game Development major). The main goal of this exam was to develop a short game using DirectX and HLSL, showcasing concepts such as Hardware Skinning, Shadow Mapping, Post Proccessing Effects, amongst others.
As such, this remake was programmed using a DirectX-based engine named "OverlordEngine", which was offered to us as part of the course's materials in a semi-incomplete state - being up to each of us to expanded on it according to our project's needs.
Although it started as an exam, I later revisited this project in my free time as to expand on it further and polish it a bit more. Some of the things I ended up adding in these extra weeks include the Chainchomp NPC, the camera clip-avoidance behaviour, the NPCs walking animations, and a considerable amount of general value-tweaking and bug-fixing.
The fully playable version is now available under the "Build" folder.
