Final Project : Plagiarized in Plain Sight

Group Members : Devin Lange, Sam Vipond, Josh Ford, Thomas Hvizdos

For our final project we were inspired by the game Hidden in Plain Sight. A super fun game which you should all buy copies of here and here. The most interesting aspect to us is that a major goal of the player is to move in a way that convinces other players it is a bot. However we wanted to extend the original agents motion to have more realistic crowd motion. So in short we implemented Ninja Party, our favorite game mode in Hidden in Plain Sight with more realistic crowd motion, animation, and rendering.

This is a neat little program that creates normal maps from images. I used it on the ground texture to create a nice effect with shading.
