About

In this steampunk themed endless runner, you explore a long forgotten mine and pierce your way deeper through the tunnels with a gigantic drill machine. But beware: the tunnel is collapsing behind you! Gather resources, craft upgrades and keep your drill running before you get buried. Oh, and say hello to old George Crocker if you meet him.

Learnings taken

• Generation needs a lot of planning.
  • Do not rely on physics engine for generation.
• Really rely on either FMOD or Unity Sound, try not to mix them.
• First work experience with Perforce.
• Generation is very intensive and should either be hidden behind loading or very quickly very fast very parallel.
