Game Description

Echoes in the Mists is a painterly 3D souls-like where you play as the last remaining knight in a dark overrun seaport. The population has been corrupted by the Mists and is now subjugated by it. To free the village from this curse you must face creatures born of the Mists as you seek the source of corruption.

This is my Capstone project as part of my Master's Degree at RIT. While I'm taking on many roles, my primary focus is on being the game's combat designer and AI programmer. As such my research topic for this capstone is "Creating Unique Encounters Through Modular Enemy Behaviors" which, when complete, will be linked below.

My Contributions

Combat Implementation

I've designed and implemented challenging position-based combat for the game. This has included coding the enemy AI, creating enemy variants, and adjusting player values.

Designed Onboarding Level

I was tasked with creating an effective onboarding section for the game. This took a lot of consideration for what the player could see at a given time and properly pacing when players received tutorial prompts.
