Overwish

Overwish starts from a simple brief: rebuild Overwatch mechanics in one week, in October 2025. I programmed the whole game; my teammate built the scene. It is playable on itch.io.

Tracer

• Blink: three charges that regenerate, a short teleport in the direction of movement, cut short if an obstacle is in the way.
• Recall: the game continuously records the player’s position, orientation, health and ammunition over the last three seconds, then brings them back to the oldest state.
• Pulse Bomb: an ultimate that charges up, sticks to the first surface it hits and explodes with damage falling off over distance.
• Two instant-hit pistols whose damage drops with distance.

Cassidy

• Peacekeeper: six bullets, a precise shot and a secondary fire that empties the cylinder.
• Combat Roll: a dodge that reloads the weapon.
• Magnetic Grenade: it latches onto a nearby enemy before exploding.
• Deadeye: the ultimate. The game looks for enemies in a cone in front of the player, checks that they are visible, locks onto them, then builds up damage until the shot.

A shared base

Every ability inherits from one abstract class, which handles the cooldown or the ultimate charge, and every weapon from another, which handles ammunition, fire rate and reloading. Adding a hero means writing its abilities, not rebuilding the system.

Gunfeel

• A hit marker drawn in code, red on a headshot.
• Camera shake, weapon sway and a brief slow motion on every kill.
• Rebindable keys and an options menu (audio, controls, graphics).
