~~ Day 6: Enemy AI ~~

As mentioned in yesterday's post, I spent a huge part of my day working on the enemy AI.  It can now spot the player, chase it between multiple rooms, and return to patrol when it loses sight of your character. 

It can also open blocked doors by destroying the blocking objects, but I don't really have a good feedback in the game yet so showing a gif would be terribly tedious.

I still have to implement some important mechanics for tomorrow's dead line (like a way for the player to win xD ) and with college, work plus another side project I am starting to have a hard time committing to this project.

Fig1: Red dot in a furious chase with green dot


Fig2: Red dot trying to find the meaning of life

The third gif was supposed to represent the enemy breaking it(s patrol to go after the player but it won't upload, so this is it for today!

~~ INTRODUCTION ~~

Hi Guys!! Me and R0xyPr0xy are working on an Halloween game during October. We started working on it on October first and plan to launch it on October 31.

It will be top down game where you incarnate a small pinata guy trying to escape from the candy factory. To do so, you have to find your way in the numerous rooms, avoiding and hiding from the factory's guards.

Here is our calendar:

 Not all tasks are planned on it yet but the major dates were already decided.  For now I finished the major mechanics, related to the player. I am now going to work on all the monster behaviour, it is going to be a lot of work I think.

This is a fluxogram of it's behaviour so you have an idea. Some of the blue blocks are pretty complex behaviour and I still don't really know how I shall go with the implementation xD

And finally some concept I made for the main character. I don't know if we will stick with any of those, but it was nice to do something else then programming for a moment.

Parecia fácil quando os outros jogavam mas é bastante desafiador na real! Haha

Ficou bem divertido, parabéns! :)

Woaw! It's so cool you enjoyed it ! It wasn't easy to create a good design with the graphics limitations but I really wanted to create something as pleasant as possible. 

As for the transitions it is a good feedback, I shall find a better alternative.

Thank you very much for playing!!
