Research and Outcomes:
The inspiration behind this game was based on Metal Gear, Solid and Half Life’s level designs and
player interactions they had in their games, respectively.
With the AI part of this project, I was looking into coding and finding tutorials online on how to
innovate our own AI mechanic. I needed to find out how I could implement techniques of
pathfinding for the AI so it can navigate across the level and find the player.
The mechanic that we worked on the most, had to learn and understand as a team and individually,
was the AI and shooting mechanics. We had to create lines of code and prototypes of the enemies’
systems and how they interact with the player and other objects. We wanted to create an organic AI

to navigate and traverse through the environment to find, locate, and destroy the player but also the
opposite so the player can encounter the enemies and shoot the antagonists. The shooting
mechanics was slightly more challenging than the AI because we initially couldn’t see where we
were going wrong. We soon realized that it was the line of code in the Raycast that we needed to
correct so there was a solid first-person shooter mechanics that in turn, allowed us to use custom
animations and choose a variety of weapons.

The pacing of the game was one of the challenges we came across which arguably came from the
layout of the main story. It became noticeable that there were many plot points to create shock and
emotions in players, so we dialled them down to create a slower paced scene and control the impact
of events on player’s emotions.
