Tutorials
Deconstructed how the original tutorials were made, then authored and scripted new tutorial quests for combat systems in Lua.
COMBAT
Behavior Trees
Used existing combat tech to design and simulate a behavior tree for native boss encounters. I then templatized and documented this tool for all systems designers to adapt for their encounters, and remain the point person to teach and iterate on the tool as needs evolve.
This improves the combat experience for all future questing content, presenting players with an appropriate challenge that will react to the board state rather than acting at random.
ENCOUNTERS
MY DESIGN PROCESS
Ideation
What is this character's story? What is their place in the narrative? How can that be translated to an engaging puzzle or challenge with combat mechanics?
Prototyping
What are the conditions for each action or reaction? How do the combat barks communicate to the player what is happening?
Iteration
Is this combat rewarding? Is the intended player behavior being properly communicated? Are the enemy's actions readable and supporting the narrative?
Adapted existing gameplay tech to create a new companion-collecting combat experience.
Players first oppose each companion in battle to unlock them for the final fight
Upon entering the Rogue Theater to face off with the Bard, they can choose one companion to join them in battle per boss phase
Players must use the puzzle solution they learned in their fight opposing the companion to trigger that ally's special attack against the Bard
