On Bully I worked on scripting mini-games and NPC navigation before moving on to bosses and combat.
Future Street Race 2165 was one of mini-games I created.
Multiple enemies could surround you but they could only attack you based on a token system we created inspired by classic kung fu movies where only one enemy would attack you at a time.
Originally we used all the face buttons for combat but we were given the challenge of retaining the depth of combat while simplifying it to one button.
We successfully created a combat system which elements could be seen in later titles such as Sleeping Dogs and Arkham Asylum.
