N' RUMBLE
Rush n’ Rumble is a third person shooter that takes inspiration from old arcade machine mini games that was overly difficult and taunt the player to insert money to keep playing whenever they died. I would grow up playing these games at my laundromat, and wanted to pay homage. A third person shooter where the player kills zombie AI that patrols the 8bit city. When killing the zombies, they drop coins which can be used as currency in the Vending Machine Shop in exchange for Ammo Refill, Health Boost, and a Damage Upgrade. The key topics captured in this project are 8bit shader graphs, Event Managers, and Stylized Post Processing Effects.

Post-Processing CRT Shader
Post-Processing CRT Shader
Made a custom shader script to simulate a lower resolution CRT monitor. The system reduces resolution with a panning texture (custom) while applying a screen space distortion.
