A Knight's Melody is the game that I made for one of my second-year 'Social & mobile' module at Staffordshire University.
For this module, I was tasked with making a game in Unity with the recommended platform being a mobile or social media game.
The project was geared toward improving my C# and Unity skills, as well as just general game development skills and mobile game experience. The year before was about getting our games to work, and now this year was about getting them to work better by learning about events, interfaces, and programming design patience and structures.
