Esc:RNG is a roguelike shoot em'up game, in which a group of players are trapped in a game universe made by an egotistic magic-wielding game developer and the only way to escape is by beating the boss. All hope is not lost as the players can utilize their skills and weapons to fight back. You play as Bobbee Barryson and Uncle Lim as they explore the dungeon, defeat enemies, collect coins to use the Gacha machine, combine weapons, and beat the boss to finally Esc:RNG.
I was a game designer in charge of enemy design, enemy spawning as well as the boss fight. My main inspiration was having the developers of the game be lazy and steal designs from well known videogames. This is why all the enemies are based on or resemble famous retro game characters, which reflects on the developer's laziness and greed. The boss fight was originally designed differently, but a certain team member changed it without my permission, so it did not end up in the way I wanted it to. Regardless, it was a very good experience and test in our time management as well as our individual abilities.
