Hero's Assistant was a two-man project, made over the course of two days for the GMTK Game Jam in 2023. The overarching theme of the Game Jam was "role reversal".

​

In our project, you play as the hero's sidekick and aid him in staying alive while enemies are constantly running at him. To do so, you must frantically run around picking up weapons and health packs that spawn around the map to throw to the AI hero.

Since this was only a two-man project, we shared the design responsibilities. I did the programming myself in C# while the other team member created the art assets. 

​

With limited time to complete the project, I was able to streamline the AI systems by using Unity's AI Pathfinding. The most complex example of this was in developing the hero's AI, particularly in how he finds the closest enemy in the scene and attacks him based on which weapon he currently has equipped. 

​

Out of 6,805 entries from more than 22,000 participants, our two-man project came in 1,656th place.
