Prime Tactics
Prime Tactics is a Tactical RPG that uses A* pathfinding for movement. There are three playable classes: Warrior, Rogue and Wizard. There are a variety of weapons to equip to characters and each provides skills the player can use to overcome opponents.
I decided to create a Tactical RPG for my Final Year project as I have always enjoyed grid-based games and Tabletop RPG combat systems. This project takes heavy inspiration from 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons and titles such as “Into the Breach” and the Fire Emblem series.
The key focus of the project was getting the A* pathfinding algorithm and creating a combat system using it. I started by creating a grid system that maps out the coordinates from the origin point. Each cost of A* was implemented one by one and once all of them were implemented they were combined to create the system. A step by step breakdown can be seen in the “Development” page.
