Project_BOW: Battle On Wheels

🧩 Battle on Wheels — Project BOW (MVP)

Codename: Project_BOW
Category: Game Development | Unity | Blender

Type: MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

🧠 Concept Overview

Battle on Wheels is my original MOBA-style tank battle game concept, where armored vehicles clash in strategic, fast-paced battles across dynamic arenas.

To bring this idea closer to reality, I created a Unity-powered MVP codenamed Project BOW — a small but functional prototype designed to capture the core mechanics and feel of the full game.

This MVP focuses on essential gameplay interactions — movement, combat, and camera dynamics — serving as the foundation for future iterations of the project.

⚙️ Tools and Technologies

  • Game Engine: Unity

  • 3D Modeling & Design: Blender

  • Assets Used: Unity Tank Tutorial Assets

  • Programming: C# (Unity Scripts)

  • Platform: PC Build (available in GitHub Releases)

Through this project, I combined the creative flexibility of Blender with the interactive power of Unity, learning how to design, import, and integrate custom assets into a fully functional environment.

🎮 Gameplay Mechanics in MVP

This early version of Project BOW includes the following features:

  • Player Tank Control: Move with W, A, S, D or arrow keys.

  • Combat Mechanic: Pick up a gun located on the map to enable attacks.

  • Enemy AI Tanks: Two AI-controlled tanks operate based on scripted logic.

  • Camera System: A camera icon on the HUD toggles between different viewing perspectives.

The goal was to create a simple yet playable experience that demonstrates the core loop of movement, weapon collection, and combat.

🚀 Development Experience

Developing Project BOW has been a valuable creative and technical journey.
I learned how to:

  • Script responsive player controls and AI behaviors in Unity.

  • Integrate Blender models into a Unity environment seamlessly.

  • Prototype game concepts rapidly using an MVP approach.

  • Balance gameplay design and performance within Unity’s ecosystem.

Even though it’s a small-scale prototype, this project reflects my process of experimenting, learning, and iterating to transform rough ideas into playable realities.

🧩 Future Plans

This MVP is only the first milestone.
Future plans for Battle on Wheels include:

  • Smarter, more dynamic AI opponents.

  • Weapon variety and upgrade systems.

  • Multiplayer or co-op support.

  • Enhanced maps and destructible environments.

  • Improved visuals and camera transitions.

The ultimate vision is to evolve Project BOW into a full-fledged tactical action game blending strategy, precision, and creativity.

Can Quantum Mechanics Tell Us Something About the Future?

------   For centuries, humans have been fascinated by the idea of predicting the future. Ancient civilizations turned to astrology — a system that, while not science in the modern sense, played a crucial role in advancing mathematics and astronomy. For example, ancient Indian and Babylonian scholars developed precise methods to track planetary motions, calculate eclipses, and design calendars — all under the umbrella of astrology. Even if their interpretive predictions were symbolic, their methods reflected structured, algorithm-like thinking. Modern physics takes a very different path. In quantum mechanics, the future of a particle is not determined with certainty, but with probabilities. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle tells us that we cannot know both position and momentum exactly — instead, we calculate the likelihood of finding the particle in a particular state. This parallel inspired me to reflect on three simple thoughts: 1. Probability of outcomes Quantum mechanics...
