Encounter is a prototype of a location-based AR game similar to Pokemon Go. Developed in Unity, it uses location data from the Mapbox SDK to put the player in a 3D map of their GPS location.
The player can search for enemies on the map, and walk in real life to the enemy’s location in order to fight it. Combat is fully automated, just by pointing the mobile device’s camera at the enemy, an ATB gauge will fill up and cast a random magic spell on the enemy. Pointing the camera away from an enemy would pause the ATB gauge, so the idea would be for enemies to move in different patterns to avoid the player’s line of sight.
