SoN was developed by 3 people: Me, Phurin, and Phatadon. It is our submission in the National Software Contest 2019 (NSC 2019). Placing 4th in the final round, we got the honorable mention award.

Storyline #

Starting with the tutorial, you are playing as the last survivor of planet “Elemee”. You are guided through the basics of the game, including navigation, camera movement, melee attack, casting skills, and replenishing elemenegy. After fighting the humans, you enter an escape pod, escaping from the exploding planet.

You arrive at planet Tierra. Time passed. Humans are starting to set foot in Tierra. You get the character selection screen where you can choose from 4 characters with different base-element and slightly different stats.

You start in a small village in the far west of one of the three continents, “Bhrane”.

The village elder give you a little quest, for which upon completion, you will be rewarded with some exps and some skill points.

Then you progress through the story which includes:

• Going to a nearby city and hear complaints about pollution

  

• And eventually, get rid of the source

  

• Help a desert village replinish their water source

• Go to the dock to fast travel to other continents

When you want to cast a skill, you must queue-up elemenegy orbs according to what skill you want to cast; like in the game Magicka, or like Invoker from DOTA 2.

The skill’s damage is affected by the element of the skill and the element of the target enemy.

The world map was made as one large mesh file, this is used for NavMesh generation which would handle the characters moving around. Then the terrain was divided into smaller chunks to optimize rendering, only render the chunks that are visible by the player / around the player.

  • The tutorial is a little bugged with the skilltree ui appearing. You have to left-click + drag it to somewhere outside of your view.
