Game Design and Artificial Intelligence David Hopkins 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. Page 20 of 22
