Scarecrow is a USC Advanced Games Project in which you play as a scarecrow and protect your bird feeder from greedy squirrels!
Scarecrow seeks to capture the mischievous stealth of Untitled Goose Game, with the player using their flight-centric movement and various traps to ambush invading squirrels and give them the fright of their lives!
As an AI Engineer I am responsible for:
- Working with our AI Designer to implement squirrel's various behaviors (idle/invading/alarmed/scared/etc...) using Behavior Designer to implement our enemy AI behavior trees
- Working with other engineers to ensure the smooth AI integration with the rest of the game (ex. Squirrel perception of the player through sight/hearing)
- Investigating and fixing bugs in the game (version control errors, game crashes, etc...)
