The Adventures Of Arrow Man! is the final year project that I undertook at the end of my Master's degree. For the assignment it was separated into two projects, a superhero sandbox game and an advanced AI system which were combined. I used this project as a way to improve my AI design skills, a weakness that has persisted in my work throughout my full time at university, and also show my skills and experience in gameplay design by creating a functional game to include on my portfolio. This project remains in active development as I aim to release it on Itch.IO now that I have more time to expand the project and fix its flaws without being bound by assignment criteria.
