Projects and Portfolio
Here are justsome of the things Nathan has worked on:
AI Vision zones: Unity Asset
The AI Vision Zones asset will be available on Unity's Asset store in a couple of days. The AI Vision Zone asset is a user-friendly way to create realistic vision models for AI, for the programmer who is not satisfied with the simple.
Warbrand is the a 6-month-long project created by a team of 6. Nathan worked as the Project Manager, the AI Programmer, and part of the design team on this project. Warbrand is an arena-style PvP combat game, featuring four different characters. Each character has a different, unique style of play, whilst also being balanced with every other player, ensuring that the win will only come from the player who is the best at their own character, rather than advantages based on the character themselves.
