GameDev Notes
(EN) In Shogun Runner, I set out to take the core of an endless runner like Temple Run and reimagine it with a unique aesthetic and narrative: you play as a shogun racing through the streets of an Asian-inspired city, defeating enemies and overcoming obstacles with moves like jumping and sliding. The fantasy twist comes from special abilities: a shield that grants invulnerability to cross lava or spikes, magical projectiles that destroy obstacles, sword attacks while running to strike enemies at the right moment, a super jump to clear multiple barriers, and a magnet that attracts energy orbs — the game’s currency — used to trigger explosive powers. The most interesting technical challenge was implementing infinite terrain generation with random platforms, ensuring each run feels fresh and dynamic.
(ES) En Shogun Runner quise tomar la base de un endless runner como Temple Run y transformarla con una estética y narrativa propias: encarnas a un shogun que recorre las calles de una ciudad asiática, derrotando enemigos y superando obstáculos con movimientos como saltos y deslizamientos. El toque fantástico llega con habilidades especiales: un escudo que otorga invulnerabilidad para atravesar lava o pinchos, proyectiles mágicos que destruyen obstáculos, ataques con espada en plena carrera, un super salto para sortear múltiples barreras y un imán que atrae esferas de energía (la moneda del juego) necesarias para activar poderes. El mayor reto técnico fue implementar la generación infinita de terreno y plataformas aleatorias, logrando que cada partida se sienta única y dinámica.
