states leads to a less predictable game and it would be far more interesting.
• Develop more orders to interact with the characters. The player should have more freedom in
the gameplay and not feel too restrained.
• Look into the psychology behind human emotions to allow more realistic reasoning behind
changes in character states.
Story and Missions ­
• The first part of the game needs a little work, I hope to have a good background story for the
main character and subsidiary characters.
Conclusion
This project has been ideal as a revision for programming, and I have learned several useful
techniques for developing games through the use of object orientation. The final piece however was
a disappointment, as I did not achieve what I set out to reach. The hope was that there would have
been a playable game at the end of the project. Restarting the project on no more than three
occasions certainly did not help the situation, although i did learn from my mistakes on the previous
attempts.
In the end though, I really only ended up with a combat system that had only a few small features.
The combat lacks the interactive element due to a lack of controls. With more time to expand on
this project, there is a lot more that could easily be done and I am convinced that this could blossom
into an innovative game.
