Welcome to Design Dreams, an immersive and heartwarming game inspired by Homescapes. This game combines the excitement of puzzle-solving with the creativity of home decoration, all while following Ivy's journey to transform her house into a cozy, welcoming home before her parents visit.
Ivy's parents are coming to visit her for the first time in years, and she wants everything to be perfect. However, her house is far from ready. There are broken utensils, wobbly chairs, cracked tables, and a plethora of other problems that need fixing. Determined to make her home presentable, Ivy embarks on a mission to repair and furnish her house, one piece at a time.
To help Ivy fix her house, players must earn points by solving various engaging and challenging puzzles. These puzzles include:
-
Wordle Wizardry: Test your vocabulary and deduction skills by guessing the correct word within a limited number of attempts. Each successful word guessed earns points that can be used to repair and upgrade different parts of Ivy's home.
-
Match Magic: Combine strategy and quick thinking to match three or more identical items in a row. Completing these puzzles rewards players with points and special bonuses to speed up Ivy's home improvement project.
As players accumulate points, they can choose which items to repair or purchase new furniture and decorations. The game features a range of customization options, allowing players to create a home that reflects their personal style while meeting Ivy's needs.

- Rewarding Progression: Earn points and rewards for completing puzzles, making visible progress in the game's storyline and home improvement goals.
Design Dreams serves as a comprehensive project for learning and applying Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles. Throughout the development process, key OOP concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism are utilized to create a robust and maintainable codebase.
- Encapsulation: Classes are designed to encapsulate data and behavior, promoting a modular and organized code structure.
- Inheritance: Common behaviors are abstracted into base classes, allowing for code reuse and extension through derived classes.
- Polymorphism: Interfaces and abstract classes are employed to enable flexible and interchangeable implementations.
This project emphasizes the practical application of C# in game development, leveraging Unity as the primary development engine.
- Programming Language: C#
- C# is used for scripting game logic, managing game states, and handling user interactions.
- Game Development Engine: Unity
- Unity provides a powerful platform for creating 2D and 3D games, offering features such as a physics engine, animation tools, and asset management.
- Programming Language: C#
- Game Development Engine: Unity
By working on Design Dream, we have not only created an enjoyable game but also deepened our understanding of object-oriented programming, honed our C# skills, and gained valuable experience with the Unity game development engine.
