| Guidelines |
| When creating a video game, it is desirable to provide the player with a fun and challenging experience. But whenever there are a lot of player choices and playstyle options, every playthrough will provide a different level of difficulty and enjoyment.
The goal of the thesis is to create an RPG dungeon crawling game in the Unity engine and introduce an algorithm for procedural generation of adequately difficult enemy encounters. This algorithm will run simulated battles to test the difficulty, taking into account the player's strengths and weaknesses, and adequately adjust the battle parameters. The game with the algorithm will be further evaluated by human players to measure their enjoyment and perceived difficulty. |
