Fury Beneath is a game that I designed based on the Tomb Raider series. In this game, I want to restore the mechanisms in Tomb Raider, including parkour, wall climbing, different types of enemies ( can use props to distract them ), pushing boxes, shooting, and some QTEs and emergencies that require players to run fast.
Before production, I used MetaHuman to create a character with the same style as Lara, Vivan, as the protagonist of my game.

In terms of level design, I also refer to the various "ruins" ( also known as caves ) that appeared in Tomb Raider. I wanted to create a more dangerous and depressing scene, so I finally chose the volcanic cave as the main style of the entire game.
Levels
I started by drawing a simple, primitive level design, dividing the different areas and filling them with the mechanics and challenges I wanted to implement. Based on this level outline, plus my planning and ideas for the entire game, I drew the details within the levels.

Player
MOVEMENTS
The most basic character actions, including running, jumping, and squatting. At the same time, when the player touches the instant death zone, the blood volume will be emptied and the ragdoll system will be activated (it looks more realistic)
INTERACT - 1 ( TORCHES ) / Pressing E
A torch that can be picked up by the player. Players can use the torch in their hand to light the spider webs blocking the way.
INTERACT - 2 ( ROCKS ) / Pressing F
A storage box. Players can interact with it to get a stone that can be thrown. This stone can make a sound to attract enemy guarding the gate on the ground.
INTERACT - 3 ( GUN ) / LMouse and RMouse
A gun that can be picked up by the players. It has a set distance ( purple ray in the video ). The players can use this gun to ignite oil barrels and blow up walls blocking the way.
Enemies
PATROL & CHASE
An enemy that will constantly patrol. Once the players enter his eye sight, he will start chasing the players. If caught, the players will die.
STANDSTILL ( HEARING )
A stationary enemy that will kill the players if they enter his sight. Players need to use the rocks to distract him.
Cutscenes
CUTSCENE -1 ( ROLLING ROCK )
An emergency situation, the vibration of the cave causes the raised boulder to fall down. The players need to run to the gap in the wall to hide within a limited time, otherwise the collision of the boulder will kill the players instantly.
CUTSCENE -2 ( BROKEN BRIDGE )
As the players attempt to escape the cave, a previously intact rock bridge collapses due to the vibrations.
CUTSCENE -3 ( QTE / CLIMBING )
In order to successfully jump to the other side, the players need to face a QTE. Pressing the correct button within the time limit will enter a climbing animation, and if it fails, the players will fall into the lava.
