Development of card-based strategy game "Tenacity", using Unity engine

Abstract

The subject of engineering work is the development of the desktop/mobile game using Unity engine and 3D package Blender. The game consists of three genres: RPG, collectible card game (CCG), and puzzles. The game offers an immersive world with many interactable items (books, NPCs, desks, etc.), a dialogue-driven story, puzzle mini-games, and card-based battles. The player’s task is to learn the story, collect cards to create a powerful deck throughout defeating the enemies. Additionally, the game supports three languages: English, Polish, and Russian. The process of the game’s development consists of three stages. The first two stages are related to functional (puzzle mini-games, card-based battles, interactable world) and non-functional (user-friendly UI, good performance, pleasant graphics) requirements and the basic implementation of main game mechanics (card-based battles, puzzle mini-games, interactable world). The third section is concerned with the enhancement of existing mechanics and the development of new ones. The game was inspired by games such as "Heroes of Might and Magic", "Faeria", and "Hearthstone", which show a great example of combining card battles with an interactable world. But in addition, our game has mini-puzzle games, for which the player will get extra rewards or be transferred to a new location after completing them. The main goal of these small games is to add variety to the gameplay and ensure that the player does not get bored.
