Help!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Help! is a game prototype in which you play the four Beatles and must avoid crowds of screaming fangirls. Navigate through the streets and try to get all the Beatles to their getaway car before the fangirls find them! This project was a collaboration with Marlena Abraham and Gregory Rose. I worked on both programming and character sprites/animation.

 

On the programming side, I worked on various elements of the fangirls’ AI, including a blending mechanism for the various steering behaviors that influenced each individual fangirl’s movements. I also worked on the specific behaviors of obstacle detection/avoidance. Additionally, I helped develop the code for propagating the last known location of a Beatle throughout the flock of fangirls.

On the art side, I designed all the characters and created character sprites/animation for them. Below you can see walk cycles for some of the in-game characters.
