Development Log

I was tasked to create game that would use some form of artificial intelligence in the game. The first thing that came to my mind was to create something I have not done yet so I decided to go with real time strategy game as Im quite fan of titles such as settlers, age of mythology; empires, northgard etc.
</br> I wanted this game to really look nice even though it was only going to be a grey box I used unity basic shapes to create figures resembling people and added animations for all their interactions. I wanted villagers to perform tasks automatically such as building then automatically assigning themselves to gathering and so on. This was inspired by how games like northgard and settlers 3 and 4 worked.
</br> I drew all icons using paint and modified transparency with gimp2. Main AI type used for this game was state machines to trigger between different tasks that each agent would perform.
</br> The biggest struggle with this game was unity built in navigation mesh as it never worked as intended. But I was quite happy with the finished greybox of the game.
