🪓 VikingSurvivors

VikingSurvivors is a high-performance, top-down "Survivor" style action-roguelike built with Unity. Set in a Norse-inspired world, players control a Viking warrior fending off endless swarms of Draugrs, Golems, and Ice Goblins. The project focuses on scalable AI systems, efficient projectile management, and dynamic character progression.

🎮 Core Gameplay Mechanics

• Endless Swarm Survival: Fight against escalating waves of diverse enemies with unique behaviors.
• Dynamic Skill System: Level up and choose from various upgrades like Fireballs, Sword Effects, and Crow Shields to enhance your combat capabilities.
• Auto-Combat & Movement: Optimized for a fluid experience using the Unity Input System for responsive movement.
• Progression & Loot: Collect XP and Health items dropped by enemies to survive and grow stronger.

🛠 Technical Features & Architecture

This project showcases clean and scalable game engineering principles:

• Modular AI System: Implements distinct AI logics (Draugr, Rock Golem, Ice Goblin) using a shared base for optimized performance and variety.
• Projectile & VFX Optimization: Efficient handling of multiple active projectiles and particle effects using optimized spawning systems.
• Event-Driven UI: Decoupled Level Up and Health UI systems that react to game state changes without tight coupling to core logic.
• Physics & Tiling: Integrated SimpleTileManager for efficient environment rendering and collision layers.
