The Game and why is it here??

Hello!

I thought I start with a hello and welcome to my game! The History of this game is a bit crazy so i thought i give you the rundown of how this existed, why is it existing, and the plans for the future.

This game was born out of a stressful period of University to create an AI game. we had a couple of months to document the game, put AI elements into it and make a video for grades, all the while writing a big scary dissertation. The great news is that the game scored the highest grade possible and showed the elements i wanted to focus on. however, another aspect I'm proud of is that the game is technically game-looped, which means it can be played like an actual game.

Which is Why the game is here now. It's been on my PC for just about a year and over the time i was doing other things. I want to game to go out there and be playable for players and recruiters alike. i also want to show how the game can be improved from its original design to be bigger and better with updates and announcements.

So... what's the plan for the future? well, the game is going through Phase 1: Shakeup. The Code used right now is currently... bad:

• Little documentation,
• Little use of patterns,
• Expensive processes,
• And just messy everywhere. 

The goal of this phase is to turn the half-baked game into a game that's only a little underbaked with cleaner processes and simpler patterns.

Once the game is at the point where most refurbisment is done, it will move to Phase 2: Expand. The game is technically the biggest it can be (endless possibilities lol). But there can be more to give it a distinct flare. Some early ideas include:

• More guard types,
• Specific room conditions, 
• Boss rooms,
• score boards
• maybe even a multiplayer mode, who knows ;)

These are still in the box so it's gonna take some time to implement them properly.

Whether or not the game will continue with strong support is anybody's guess, but i would like to work on this a bit more before i completely halt this. I like the concept of this game and i want to see if i can extend it further (maybe to mobile one day!). So Thank you for reading it and remember: endless possibilities in the endless mesuem!
