Enemy Artificial Intelligence System ("Maneuver System")

• Created custom editor interface for developing enemies generically in Godot inspector

• Each enemy has a decision tree to pick a "Maneuver" to execute

• Each enemy has a list of maneuvers that can be chosen by their decision tree

• "Maneuvers" are sequential lists of atomic actions to be executed in order.

• "Actions" can play desired animations, activate/deactivate hitboxes, specify damage, knockback, and other variables. They can be overridden for additional functionality

  • EG: "Approach" action pathfinds towards the enemy's target (usually player), "Fire Projectile" action fires a projectile towards the enemy's target

Graph-Based Procedural Dungeon Generation System

• Created custom editor interface to set up graphs that represent valid dungeon layouts

• Created system for interpreting graphs breadth-first and placing valid rooms connecting to each-other

Dungeon Room Representation

Enemy Encounter System

Concept Design & Creation

Core gameplay systems, such as the game board, virus behaviors, game wave management, shop, and terminal output systems.

System utilizing Godot SubViewports to render 2D scenes inside of a 3D environment.

• Used for the screen itself, as well as the folder contents and game board to display 2D scenes inside of User Interface nodes.

Systems for Movement, Combat, Action Economy, Grid Representation

• Movement can be defined with continuous paths as well as teleports to unoccupied tiles

• Combat can be melee, ranged, or AOE, and AOEs can be rotated. 

• Game Manager that tracks different phases, UI updates for the active player and scoreboard, and manages player turns.

• Systems for interpreting data defined for movement, and attacks.   

Structures for Player & Scrap

• Scrap spawns every 3 turns for balance, can be destroyed for bonus currency, value decays over time.

• Players store information about mods, inventory, and signal controls to the game board. 

System Designing and implementing unique mods.

• Define paths, damage, range, aoe, passive effects & etc. using editor, and if necessary, inheritance.

Singleton Database to store mod data for players to copy and reference, and assist with integrating new mods into game.
