Alpha
For the main alpha version, I have added quite a few things and made changes to some mechanics. I have 

  • Edited the Ghost AI and improved the capture scenario so that the camera rotates to look at the ghost
  • Added pick-up-able notes that can have multiple variations, allowing the player to read a narrative
  • Added a door and key system, where only certain keys can open certain doors
  • Added materials for the main house 
  • Small bug fixes

WORK IN PROGRESS

My main task was fixing the AI I wanted the AI to behave like it does in the majority of popular horror games. I needed the AI to wander by itself and chase the player properly, so I needed to completely recreate the main AI. Here you can see all the items and are used in part of the new AI: AI Behaviour Tree The AI Behaviour tree is a small tree that defines the AIs two basic functions - Wander and Chase.

In here many items are handled. The blueprints that handle the Ghosts Movement ans speed are here, as well as mainly wh...

PROTOTYPE Preparation As the lead designer for this project, I need to work on quite a number of mechanics for the game. As this is a horror game, it is important to have a good AI to effectively chase, scare or creep the player out. My first main task was to develop a level and an AI that could walk around it. I researched many different ways to make this AI work. It needs to: - Wander around by itself  - When the player enters its field of view, it will chase the player and capture them - When it loses sight of the player, it begins to wander again Here is my blueprint showing the AI in the prototype stage. So far, the AI is able to build a path and navigate around it - even being able to climb stairs without issues. It also targets the player and chases them down, but nothing currently happens upon capture.  There are also a few bugs: When the player gets capture, the collision causes the player to jump about or get stuck When the ghost loses sight ...
