This project was a solo development effort, where I handled all aspects of creation, from initial concept and planning to the final implementation. The programming encompassed core gameplay mechanics, AI behavior, sound design, and in-engine optimizations.
Enemy AI
The Enemy AI was built using the Finite State Machine (FSM) architecture. This approach allowed for a dynamic and believable range of behaviors.
I visualized the range of the enemy states and their transitions in a diagram:
Highlights of Enemy AI:
When engaging the player, the AI doesn't just rush in blindly. Instead, it employs a cost-benefit analysis to choose between seeking cover (behind objects and then crouch to reload) or taking an open-field approach.
The AI is designed to avoid bunching up, instead forming strategic formations to surround and outmaneuver the player.
