Maze RUN

DISCLAIMER: This was developed in 5 weeks  as a University assignment, with 1 additional week of bug fixes and polishing a year later.  All feedback and comments are appreciated.

DISCLAIMER 2: The WebGL build of this game is experiencing some shader bugs with the lighting on larger mazes - gameplay shouldn't be affected and I am aware of the issue.

About The Game

Maze RUN is the brain child of the minds of myself (Declan) and my friend (Jerred) as part of a University project. Everything in the game with the exception of the audio sound effects and music are a product of our abilities and minds.

Maze RUN is a FPS, set in a randomly 3D generated maze of varying sizes full of enemies who patrol and pursue the player. Players have to find the artifact and escape the maze for the point value of the artifact.

Enemies listen for and investigate bullet impacts, sources of gunshot sounds and communicate to other enemies when alerted to the players presence. Enemies cannot be killed but can be stunned temporarily but BE WARNED, enemies come back much faster and stronger after each time they are stunned.

Players are equipped with one of three weapons of varying playstyles, weaknesses and benefits. All three guns as well as the players health and movement speed can be upgraded with the points the player gains from escaping with the artifact.

How To Play

1. Select your weapon, Machine Gun & Shotgun need to be unlocked!
2. Select your difficulty: Harder difficulties mean bigger mazes and more enemies (but higher rewards!)
3. Enter the Maze!
4. Find the artifact while avoiding or stunning the enemies.
5. Find the green escape square to get your reward! (Hint: The escape square will always be in a corner of the maze)

How To Unlock Everything Without Playing

If you can't be bothered to play the game to get enough points to unlock the other guns and upgrades there is a way to change your save file if you have downloaded the executable version of the game (not the in-browser WebGL version).

1. Make sure you've run the game, created a profile FIRST
2. Close the game
3. Open File Explorer
4. Navigate to "C:\Users\<YOUR USER HERE>\AppData\LocalLow\Give Men Flowers\Maze RUN\SaveFiles" in File Explorer
5. Within that folder there should be a file named "masterList.json" and another file "<your name>.json". Open the file with your name on it that you want to edit (just in Notepad or VS Code if you have it or any other text editor).
6. On the 6th line of that file there is an entry named "points". Change the value of points to like 1000 or something and save and close the file.
7. DO NOT alter the values of the other entries. Increasing any variables too high will introduce bugs I have not accounted for.
8. Open the game and you'll be able to buy all the weapons and upgrades your heart desires.
