Status Completed Prototype

Five-week Unity coursework project that grew into a playable hallway-loop exploration build.

Build Type Course Prototype

Game Technologies project developed through weekly engine-learning milestones.

Engine Unity

Built with Unity systems including player control, NavMeshAgent AI, shaders, particles, audio, and menus.

Week 5 Final Build

Project Overview

Concept: Endless Hallways began as a weekly Unity learning project and evolved into a prototype about moving through looping hallways, solving a sequence, and surviving enemy encounters.

Goal: The goal was to learn Unity fundamentals through weekly feature milestones: object manipulation, player control, level design, AI, visual effects, audio, menus, and a final build.

Final Direction: The project became a hallway-loop prototype where the player must enter hallways in a specific sequence while managing enemies, arrows, pickups, and environmental clues.

Week 01 · Object Manipulation

Week 1 systemsObject manipulation fundamentals.
System	Details
Core Systems	Manipulated object position, rotation, and scale Added button-controlled rotation states Changed object color through RGB sliders Saved and loaded object speed state
Unique Addition	Used the space bar to disable button functions Triggered randomized rotation behavior Looped scale, color, and speed changes Combined multiple object manipulation systems into one mode

Week 02 · Player Controller + Shooting

Week 2 systemsMovement, collectables, camera, and the first enemy.
System	Details
Player Movement	Added keyboard movement with WASD Added player rotation with arrow keys Added jumping with the space bar Prevented the player from clipping through walls
Collectables + UI	Added gold collectables around the level Destroyed collectables on pickup Updated score through UI text Displayed extra player information through interface text
Camera + Shooting	Added first-person and third-person camera modes Allowed the player to switch cameras with C Added projectile-based shooting Added raycast shooting that changes object colors
Enemy Interaction	Added an enemy with health Displayed enemy health in the UI Allowed projectiles to damage enemies Destroyed the enemy when health reached zero

Week 03 · Level Design + AI

Week 3 systemsThe controller matures and the hallway loop takes shape.
System	Details
Improved Controller	Improved player look direction Allowed shooting in multiple directions Added free-look camera behavior Continued refining player control readability
Designed Level	Built a designed level using ProBuilder Created alternative hallway paths Added a gate opened by shooting a nearby button Used lighting to guide attention toward important information
Looping Hallways	Created a repeating hallway-room concept Returned players to the same room after entering hallways Preserved the player's orientation to simulate a constant loop Built the foundation for a sequence-based escape puzzle
NavMesh Enemy	Added a NavMeshAgent enemy Made the enemy rush toward the player within a certain radius Prepared the system for future enemy spawning variations Connected AI behavior to the exploration loop

Week 04 · Visual Effects + Animation

Week 4 systemsShaders, particles, post-processing, and animation.
System	Details
Shaders + Materials	Created shader graph materials Applied shader-based textures to the level Used a checkered floor material that went beyond default material settings Improved the visual identity of the prototype
Particles	Added local particle effects near lights Created snow-like particles tied to specific locations Added global rain that follows the player Used particles to create stronger atmosphere
Post-Processing	Added local post-processing in part of the spawn room Used blue screen effects as the most noticeable local change Added global post-processing through a volume Used visual effects to make areas feel distinct
Player Animation	Added a walking animation Created a corner-stepping movement effect Added an idle animation with a breathing-like stretch Made the placeholder player feel more alive

Week 05 · Audio, Menus + Final Build

Week 5 systemsAudio, menus, and the final packaged build.
System	Details
Audio	Added background music that starts when the level begins Added a sound effect for firing an arrow Used distance-based sound behavior for the sound effect Separated music and SFX into adjustable volume categories
Main Menu	Created a main menu scene Added a start button for entering the game Added master, music, and SFX volume sliders Saved and loaded sound settings using PlayerPrefs
Pause Menu	Added pause functionality with Escape Displayed paused text during gameplay Added a resume option Added a return-to-main-menu option
Final Build	Created a Windows build Organized the build inside the project files Final controls included shooting, camera switching, movement, and pausing Wrapped the weekly prototype into a playable final version
