A very rough draft of what the first map in the game might look like.
I mentioned in my last post that started work on a hush-hush project. When I say hush-hush I really mean a project in which the details have not quite been refined. I can now reveal that the project I’m working on is a Flash-based Web game. The game is going to be a turn-based strategy game. The game will feature an isometric view with tiles. Here’s my first rough version of the tiles that I want to include in the game. The colours are not quite right and there needs to be more variety however it is a good starting point. Don’t be too rough on me. I’m not really a designer.
I can also tell you that this game will feature an artificial intelligence system that I have not seen anywhere before. Instead of the artificial intelligence been coded into the game the artificial intelligence is housed within a Web application. The game requests back to the Web application asking the new artificial intelligence instructions. This is my dissertation for my masters. It’s my final research peace. A system like this probably doesn’t have any place in a commercial title. What I am really hoping to achieve is a proof of concept. Can a single artificial intelligence system operate across a distributed player network? I’m not sure but stick around if you would like to see the results.
