SIDE B

CHALLENGES

The biggest challenge in this demo was translating the cinematic tension of Inglourious Basterds into interactive gameplay. As a proof-of-concept, the focus was on building the core stealth loop — observation, planning, and execution — with a multi-character switching system that felt intuitive. Implementing multiple character states, basic enemy AI, and a flexible camera system in Unity required balancing design ambition with the realistic scope of a demo project.

OUTCOMES

The demo resulted in a playable Windows build that showcases the core mechanics and captures the tone of a Tarantino climax in game form. While not a full production release, it demonstrates key systems like squad-based character switching, stealth AI, and tactical camera controls. It was a significant learning milestone in 3D game development — from AI programming and state management to camera systems and player experience design. Developed as the second major project during the Game Design program at Anhembi Morumbi University.

Inglorious Ways to Die (2020) is a third-person 3D stealth game developed in Unity, inspired by the final scene of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. The player controls multiple characters, switching between them in real time to execute silent eliminations and complete the mission: kill Hitler by any means necessary. The game features enemy AI, a quick inventory system, and tactical camera controls.
