Invicta: The Next Queen is a game that was developed by a group of 8 programmers, 3 designers and 6 artists. It was developed using Unreal Engine 4 on a span of almost 10 months and it is available on Steam for free.

During this project I worked as a gameplay and AI programmer. Regarding the gameplay part, I worked on a variety of features of the game such as: inventory, collectables, hazards, lock-on camera, destructible objects... Moving on the AI part, towards the end of the project I decided to engage on the task of developing the AI of one of the three bosses the game has. The boss has melee and ranged attacks, areas of detection, obstacle avoidance, adaptable AI depending on what the player does...

I learned a lot working on this project both programming wise and also on what it takes to work alongside designers and artists. I am very satisfied with the work I did, working on almost every area of the project and always helping all the teams with what they needed. I consider the result to be outstanding.
