Concept: Roots of the mountain is a 3D game in a First Person view in which you play as a miner trying to attain a great precious rock in the core of the mountain. But to do so you will have to use your pickaxe to collect minerals in a maze of tunnels reminiscent of roots of a tree and sell them to the merchant of the game that will buy them in exchange of coins. The merchant will also sell bags to increase the amount of mineral you can collect before having the need to sell, better pickaxes to be able to collect more valuable minerals and finally the bomb which allows you to destroy obstacles and attain a new area with more minerals of greater value.

What I did: Wanting to put myself in a position that I am not used to, having in mind a need to improve my skills, I took the role of one of the two programmer on this project. I worked on the shop system and the inventory system, the proper functioning of the GitHub and the inclusion of sounds in the game.
