Introduction-
Pirates Dice is a thrilling dice-and-card game set aboard a pirate ship, where players must outwit their opponents through strategy, deception, and a bit of luck. The goal is simple—defeat the crew one by one until you challenge the captain and claim victory.
Each round, both the player and their opponent hold three cards, but only the player knows their total dice roll. Using their cards, they can manipulate their odds or bluff their way to victory, making their opponent believe they hold a stronger hand. Will you play it safe, take bold risks, or outsmart the captain at their own game?

What I learned-
I developed a dynamic dialogue system, allowing for immersive character interactions and branching narratives. I also implemented an advanced AI system, enabling more responsive and challenging enemy behaviors. Additionally, I mastered transitioning between 3D and 2D gameplay, adding depth and variety to game design.
Learning these systems is crucial for creating engaging and polished games. A well-designed dialogue system enhances storytelling and player choice, an advanced AI system brings realism and unpredictability to gameplay, and the ability to switch between 3D and 2D opens up creative possibilities for level design and mechanics. These skills not only improve the player's experience but also expand the potential for innovation in game development.
