Game Systems

Every system in Tamer was engineered to work together — combat, AI, and progression share the same modular framework, so the game feels cohesive whether you're locked in a melee skirmish, commanding your companion, or navigating a story branch.

I

Combat System

  • Responsive melee combat framework with light and heavy attack combos
  • Special abilities gated by an adrenaline resource system — rewarding aggressive play
  • Blocking mechanics with timed parry windows and feedback states
  • Dodge system with configurable invincibility frames for skill-based evasion
  • Fully data-driven architecture — new weapon types and combo chains added without touching code
  • Upgrade-friendly design built to support deep progression systems

II

Enemy AI

Enemy perception, group aggro & attack coordination

  • Intelligent enemy AI with full perception systems — sight, sound, and damage detection
  • Group awareness — enemies alert nearby allies on player detection
  • Attack coordination logic controlling engagement limits to prevent pile-ons
  • Flexible behaviour trees supporting multiple enemy archetypes
  • Disengagement logic — enemies drop aggro dynamically when the player exits range
III

Companion AI

  • Fully functional friendly AI companion system tightly integrated with the combat loop
  • Companion dynamically follows, assists, and engages hostile targets alongside the player
  • Shares the same action pipeline as enemies — behaviour driven by the same modular framework
  • Designed to scale as the taming system expands to more creature types

IV

Engine Architecture

Modular combat framework — data-driven weapon & combo system

  • Proprietary modular combat framework plugin at the core of all gameplay systems
  • Data-driven design enabling unlimited weapon types, combo configurations, and AI archetypes
  • Action-based architecture inspired by UE5's Gameplay Ability System (GAS) — actions as independent objects with a centralised management component
  • Unified pipeline supports both player input and AI-driven execution via behaviour trees
  • Built for longevity — the architecture is designed to absorb future content expansions without systemic rewrites
