Started working on a custom AI.

So far the pods know how to choose between different possible paths and patrol them.

Can't use NavMesh... 6DOF AI from scratch = Nightmare!

next space craft in

pods produce vapor trails now

Testing the new custom texture map on the test level.

Complete custom 6DoF AI mechanics. No Add-Ons, plug-ins or any of that kind.

Next up: Pick-Up items

radioactive ring weapon

Started working on the pick-up item mechanics.

The one from the screenshot is a simple energy re-filler.

more stuff to come...

Testing power-ups

Testing some audio for the first time.

The annoying shot sound is currently for the only weapon avilable... lol

Honored to have commissioned "Slimygoo", one of my favorite artists, to bring some coolness into this project. Super excited for this one!

(btw: in the concept you can see a space-pod pilot taking shape)
