Scarlet Blackwell
Stuck in a Box
September 2019 - November 2019
Stuck in a Box is a dungeon crawl game using Epic Games' free assets for visuals and Scarlet Blackwell for all UI. Players start in a box, speculated to be their home, as a mysterious voice tells them to get their life back together by finding the treasure at the end of the dungeon. The player then avoids dangerous traps as they try to find their way to the end of the level, dodging moving fire tornadoes, lightning-spawning electric tornadoes, and debris-throwing wind tornadoes. Players can use lollipops found in the dungeon to heal their health and boxes in the dungeon to set checkpoints before the various challenges.
Blueprint of the electric tornado, emmitting sound, spawning lightning around its' field and striking the player if they stand still for too long. The first lightning will spawn randomly around its area, already making it dangerous. The second lighttning will spawn where the player stood seconds prior, hitting them if they were in the same location.
Blueprint of the button found inside the dungeon on a far wall. After hitting the button, the player will be played a cutscene of stairs appearing from the wall before they brought back and meant to go up to the next area.
Blueprint of the boxes found throughout the dungeon, spawning an effect to give player feedback as well as setting their spawn for the next time the player dies.
Blueprint of the wind tornado, spawning rocks from its core and throws it in a random direction. The rocks will only have a limited lifespan before they despawn.
