This strategic puzzle game is inspired by the minigame within BitLife, mixed with the fake concept game within Family Guy.
The live production link can be found at my GitHub root.
This is made for CMPM120, and is the final project. Built using JavaScript, Phaser, and publicly available stock images.
- I couldn't use TypeScript. I think game dev TypeScript and swe TypeScript are crazily different.
- Art was scarce. https://aistudio.google.com and its experimental mode was my lifeline. (sorry artists..)
- I really suck at game design. I took this class because I thought I needed more expertise in a different box (and I really did.. game theory applies to SO much of general cs theory) but it really didn't work out because I'm better off a gamer than a game designer
- System design does not apply to game design
- Trying to apply alpha-beta pruning in JavaScript was so fucking deadly I just ran with a decision tree
If I were to keep developing on this game, here's what I would do:
- Add a high score system
- Increase the shitty resolution
- Add the horse from the one episode where Lois says "Peter the horse is here"
- Not let A.I. make the background because fuck A.I. art. I just needed it in this instance
- Convert fluidity for the logic
