Neuromancer

Overview

Neuromancer is an action-adventure game where the player uses Neuromancy to control enemy minds. The player is intentionally weak on their own and must turn enemies into allies to fight bosses, clear combat, and solve puzzles.

Duties

• Co-developed the project with a 10-person student team centered on a mind-control core mechanic
• Led enemy and ally AI development for combat and puzzle interactions
• Built the conversion pipeline that turns enemy units into controllable allies
• Implemented a unit skill system that supported distinct behaviors and encounter design
• Coordinated daily through Scrum and GitHub-based collaboration to keep AI work aligned with game and level goals

Process

The team scoped the entire experience around mind control as the core fantasy. My work centered on AI that could serve as both threat and tool: conversion from enemy to ally, skill-driven combat behaviors, and puzzle interactions that depended on which unit the player controlled at a given moment.
