Crossy Road
(Case Study)
​
​
During my third year as a Sheridan Game Design student, I took an Advanced Programming course where I studied and replicated the mechanics of Crossy Road, with a specific focus on its procedural generation and game feel.
​
For this project, I developed a tile-based character controller and implemented infinite, chunk-based level generation with dynamic difficulty scaling based on the player’s score. To optimize performance, I utilized object pooling and created all the 3D assets to add a nice layer of polish.

TL;DR
-
​Recreated Crossy Road's procedural level generation to the best of my ability
-
-
Recreated a handful of slice types from the game such as grass or road slices

Various moving objects (cars and logs) with random speeds, gap intervals and directions
-
Random spawning of static obstacles to block the player's path
