About the Project
This was a small personal project I worked on called Mario & Luigi: Project Starbean. My goal for it was to recreate the basic gameplay of the Mario & Luigi RPG series in the Unity engine. The video demonstration above showcases the progress that I had made over the span of 1.5 weeks in Unity. I had plans of eventually releasing the project files to the public once more progress was made, however I had to shift my focus to other projects shortly afterwards. Regardless, I’m proud of what I was able to achieve in this short of a timeframe.
