Battleship

I joined on to the Battleship team in late 2011 while the project was in early production as an AI Combat Designer.

I helped implement and tune all of the common enemies including their cover mechanics and behaviors including cover, retreat, agression, and melee priorities. Additionally I implemented the dropship and boat disembark action for friendly and enemy AI.

Development on this product was very short and resources were quite limited though the core gameplay of shooting and cover mechanics were better than one would expect for such a short development time.

Light Alien Trooper

• Basic cover shooting enemy

• Prioritized finding cover, laying down suppressing fire, and running away from grenades

Heavy Alien Trooper

• Juggernaut Archetype character

• Prioritized melee and charging at the player

Dropship and Boat Dropoffs

• Linked characters that would activate disembark actions on trigger from level designers

• Aliens drop down from hovering ships

• Friendly soldiers jump out of seating positions
