Achievements

  • Built the playable project in one day during a gaming hackathon / game jam.
  • Delivered a complete browser game flow from homepage to lobby, Agent selection, and real-time arena match.

Story & Process

Agent Arena Online is a browser-based online arena project built around a complete game loop: enter the game, choose a match, select an Agent, and play through a real-time battle.

The project is designed to make the gameplay immediately understandable from the first screen, then move players into a tactical selection phase and live arena combat.

What I Built

  • A game homepage that introduces the visual identity and gives players a clear entry point.
  • A game lobby for browsing playable matches, modes, and arena sessions.
  • An Agent selection stage where players choose their role and strategy before combat.
  • A real-time match view focused on arena state, active Agents, and ongoing battle information.
  • Demo and trailer materials for presenting the product experience offline or in a portfolio context.

Gameplay Flow

The experience moves from homepage to lobby, from lobby to Agent selection, and from selection into the live match. This gives the project a complete demo path instead of only isolated gameplay screens.

The Agent selection step is the strategic bridge between joining a match and entering battle. Players make a clear choice before combat starts, which helps the game feel more intentional than a simple click-to-start arena.

Presentation

The portfolio entry includes gameplay screenshots, a full demo video, product video material, and trailers for the Agent survival and hunger-game modes.
