Project Details

Team Size: 4
Custom Engine
Role: Producer, AI designer, and programmer

As Producer

Ensuring a properly-scoped project within the available timeframe.
Ensures that tasks are delegated such that each task capitalizes on the individual member's strengths and weaknesses.
Host weekly meetings and SCRUM.

As AI Designer and Programmer

Research on fish group movement such as the flocking behavior which emulates real-life animal movement.
Crafted and design the special fish and hazard AI pair variants.
The thought process behind each pair is first, what are some ways that fishermen catch fish. Then how can we pair it with a type of fish that makes sense in countering that hazard.
I had to work with our level designer to plan out the hazard and special fishes spawn behaviors. There were balancing issues initially where the special fishes are not spawned when a hazard requires removal. After providing my personal insight and working with the level designer, we altered the spawn behavior and solved the problem.
