The Dark Knight

Project Description

The Dark Knight is a 2D action adventure game. The goal of the playable warrior is to overthrow the evil ruler of a small town in order to spread suffering and misery by himself. But the path that leads over land, suburbs and ultimately into the dark castle is not easy. Armed with an owl as a constant companion and an ax, he has to face the enemy and finally defeat the ruler.

This was my first project at the Fachhochschule (University of Applied Sciences) in Hagenberg, and took the opportunity to develop a game. Together with 4 colleagues, we decided to create this game where I took over the group management. Two of us were concerned about the programming of the game.

Level Editor

For the placement of all characters, items and triggers for certain entities (e.g. an owl) (image 5 of 6) as well as all dialogs (image 6 of 6), a self-written editor was applied, adapted to our use.

The main reason for creating this editor was primarily to simplify our creation of the world. In addition, changes could be made faster.
