![]() Maybe we could have a hungry glutton pet that routinely eats up corpses you leave behind to prevent the Skeletons from getting there first. ![]() How about other hungry monsters? We've mentioned in an earlier update about "flytrap-like" plants that hug the corridors of the dungeon, waiting for their next meal to walk past. Perhaps corpses naturally turn into Skeletons if they are left too long. Skeletons crowd around corpses with reduced FOV so it might be beneficial for the player to kill an Orc, drag it to a room and wait for a group of Skeletons to get distracted. There's a lot we can do with this concept to bring some really interesting gameplay opportunities. Skeletons regain health while eating, and if you let it eat for long enough the corpse will turn into another undead Skeleton! While eating, the Skeleton has a reduced field of view which allows the player to sneak up on it more.Īs always, interactive demos of all of the AI updates so far can be found here: If a Skeleton comes across a corpse while not alert (not currently chasing a character) it will attempt to eat it. Attack Orcs with your sword enough times and he will die, leaving a movable corpse in his place. Similar to the Fire Imps, they employ a group system that notifies each other of threats once a single Orc can spot you in his line of sight. Orcs! Like Skeletons, these monsters are Aggressive and will chase and seek you out. Click to attack! This is by no means a complete combat system, instead it's here to allow you to create some nice corpses for testing today's new behaviour. Hope you enjoyed the post, and let us know if you have any questions about the AI! We know that this will give us the ability to create really unique and varied monsters, and part of the fun of the game is figuring out the behaviours of each one.
