This is a solo project I made hoping to learn more about how to handle large quantities of different AI types. In this game, AI sheep graze in search for food pellets, Wolves will hunt the lone sheep, and Shepherds will gather in groups to wrangle Sheep and chase away Wolves. If either the Sheep or the Wolves don’t eat, they will starve and despawn.

AI Fox Survival VS AI Hunter

This is a solo project I made to learn more about AI implementation, AI behaviour trees, survival systems and rivalling AI mechanics both meant to mimic player motivations. In this game, the camera follows a Fox in the woods, rummaging through garbage for food, drinking from ponds, and finding safe shelters for sleep, all while avoiding an AI nightguard who hunts and chases the Fox, if the Nightguard gets too close or the fox remains in its light for too long, the Fox loses, the Fox must avoid this while maintaining its survival needs to avoid death

My Experience & Myself

Starting game design quite young, I have 7 years of experience creating games. Most of those early years creating solo projects while taking Game Design courses, I learned I had a skill for creating gameplay mechanics and elements from initial design idea’s to fully playable video games. Leading me to take on Gameplay design roles and programmer roles so I was able to design, iterate, and follow through to finished product while understanding everything it takes to create and iterate on my designs.

Following this passion for game design, I attended Sheridan College’s Bachelor’s Degree in Game Design program and graduated with a 3.7 GPA. There I learnt every aspect of a game development team, making me a great fit for any team as I have had my hand in working and understanding every aspect of creating a game and its development pipeline!
