Attack Of The Gnomes

A first-person shooter where you grow your own ammo and blast garden gnomes with it.

Attack Of The Gnomes

Overview

“Attack Of The Gnomes” is a survival-focused FPS built around a day and night cycle. Players use the daytime to grow crops (Potatoes, Pumpkins etc.) and once night falls, they shoot those crops out of a projectile launcher against waves of evil garden gnomes.


My Role & Key Contributions

The game was made with a team of 2 programmers and 2 artists. As a programmer on this project, my focus was on the core combat loop, physics, and environment lighting.

  • Created a flexible shooting system that allows for multiple ammo types, making the crop-growing-to-combat pipeline work.
  • Developed projectile mechanics and physics to ensure the different ammo types felt distinct and satisfying to shoot.
  • Implemented lighting and skyboxes for the day/night cycle.
