Friends and Family Alpha For the F.A.F Alpha, it was vital our group develop a very basic prototype of the game with basic functions. Elliot and Shumel were tasked with developing plans for the Mansion House and developing it in the Game engine. 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. It initially follows the Random Movement section, but then switches when it locates the player and changes to Threat mode. Ghost Main AI This is the blueprint system inside the AI of the Ghost. 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 ...
