Development of computer role-playing game ”Bar in the Forest”using Unity engine

Abstract

The objective of this research is to design, create and develop role-playing game ”Bar in the Forest” based on Unity game engine. To achieve the stated aim, the following methods were chosen: object-oriented and reactive design; goal-oriented action planning and finite-state automaton model for artificial intelligence behaviour implementation; graph search algorithms for path finding problem. The result is a two-dimensional roleplaying game ”Bar in the Forest” for Windows, MacOS or Linux systems with number of features, such as quests, dialogues, inventory, two areas (bar and forest), character attributes and their derivatives, time of day, weather, factions, character levelling, saving, health, stamina, weapons, consumables, status effects, adaptive audio, tile based terrain, settings, localization, smart objects interaction system, world events, anomalies and traps. In conclusion, ”Bar in the Forest” is an entertainable game with broad space for future improvement. Nevertheless, the game can offer broad number of features, atmospheric and vivid world, charismatic characters, unique gameplay and responsive interface.
