Arès

About the project​

Arès was my second big video game project. I worked hard with a graphic artist for a long time to create a clean and reliable game engine with different levels of AI.

I spent a lot of time on the foundations of the game, and not enough on the levels and the scenario. Building a game is a long and difficult experience, and I realized that creating one alone, even with the help of a graphic designer, is not enough!

The game includes complete, playable levels 1 and 2, as well as an experimental level 3, but with a very elaborate AI that is unbeatable unless I tune its variables!
