Dinosaur Arena
A Minecraft Map Where You Battle Against Waves of Dinosaurs
Overview
This project involved the creation of a game development asset to be sold on the global Minecraft Marketplace.
Problem
The primary challenge was writing source code to bring the project to life.
Key constraints included:
- Dinosaurs needed to be battled in waves
- Players needed to have an interface for selecting weapons and armor
- Special effects and animations needed to be integrated into the user experience
Goals
The project aimed to:
- Provide players with a minigame style Minecraft adventure that was multiplayer friendly and replayable
- Meet all publication criteria imposed by Microsoft and its Minecraft Partner Program
- Establish a new adventure type that could be replicated for future projects (Battle Arena)
Success was measured by:
- Regular progress updates and meetings with Cyclone
- Data collected from Minecraft Marketplace sales
- Data collected from reviews submitted by players who purchased the project
My Role
I worked as a Software Developer for Cyclone, responsible for:
- Authoring all source code for the project
- Contributing to the creative vision of the project
- Implementing the software required for the animations, game mechanics, and other team contributions to function properly in Minecraft Bedrock Edition
Results
The project sucessfully met the requirements of Cyclone and the expectations of the players.
