The power of cutting-edge technologies for next gen solutions

We build create games by leveraging the latest technologies with AI solutions directly integrating in the game development process. We allow you to use technology to your advantage and digital transformation.

The right expertise for game development

ASSIST Software was responsible for putting together the pipeline for creating the mech, as well as the mech structure, Animator and AI module. This was in addition to realizing the 2D and 3D art, as well as the environment/ world building.

As a standout technical aspect, we used Unity prefabs. Prefabs are a special type of component that allows you to create, configure, and store a GameObject. The Prefab Asset acts as a Template from which you can create new Prefab Instance in the Scene.

These assets can then be shared between scenes, or even other projects without having to be configured again.

Why is this game so innovative?

Traditional MMO games struggle with bots and the hassle they create for development teams. However, Typhon embraces bots as a core game mechanic. Instead of destabilizing gameplay, bots become strategic tools that can enhance immersion and provide an excellent challenge. Typhon wants players to code, customize, and command their own bot army in a unique PvP experience where programming prowess and problem solving determine victory.

Thus, Typhon: Bot vs Bot redefines the multiplayer, PVP genre, turning a common problem into an innovative gameplay and learning opportunity.
