Hunter AI is complete now.

The basic search, investigate and shoot functions work.

I'll make it better over time, adding newer search methods, checking if the player switches props etc

Read Article for more info :)


Right now, the AI has 3 phases

Checking all the Props

The AI will go to the nearest prop (this includes the player) and shoot it a couple of times before moving on to the next.

If the AI can't reach the prop but has a line of sight, it will shoot from that position.

If all the props have been investigated, the AI will now chase after the player (wherever they are).

Investigating Noise

A timer has been set to reveal the player's location every 50 seconds. This will report a noise event to the AI. The AI will abandon the check for props and immediately go to the location where the noise was reported from.

AI Caught the player moving

Some modification needed here as it's only checking for speed and not intentional input.

If the player happens to move in the peripheral vision of the AI, it will abandon everything and chase after the player.

Update 0.2.6

Size cut, Optimization and small fixes.

Changing the prop mechanics to accomodate the size of the object by using temporary capsule.

Its a bit hard since not all objects are round, and that the character sometimes falls through the floor.

Edit: Found a solution

This animal detection system was a pain to develop, but it's done now. So many failed attempts. In the end, I just reused the same system for perception trace in SuperliminalPSX.

Not the best system but it works.

Honey UI implementation into my Untitled project.

Some of the UI has been copied over from my other projects.

I am not that good with UI design, I'm just a programmer :P

The Gnome Gang has been tormenting the inhabitants of the Toscana since the world went into the eternal night. They are chaotic, annoying and mildly dangerous. Probably a tiny bit more of a threat now that they have learned how to make bombs.

WOOOH! SPRING BREAK
