Welcome to another weekly IBT survival Island update - exclusive to Hive.
In these weekly updates we will continue to provide IBT community members with an update on our developing PC game - the one to have Crypto interactions.
The AI is out of control!!
Sometimes AI can go wrong.... (Yes thats right, AI can go seriously wrong sometimes!)
Okay, we decided to put the animals into an attack mode. Well, this should not be a problem. Animations are set, code seems all good and its time to try it out. Hmm, Better do a quick screenshot for tonights post....Um...
Well normally at this point a picture can have a thousand words. In this case, for a game designer, its looks like the AI test for the animals was an epic failure. To the untrained eye, it may look like a complete success.
I wonder if this picture will be click bait, and do we want people who click on pictures like this playing our game...I'm so confused? anyways, I guess back to the drawing board....
AI just gets smarter and the characters just get cheekier.
There is nothing cooler than having an AI reacting to a noise. Stepping on a twig, rustling some bushes or even walking on stones or the sound of splashing water "should" attract the AI's attention. What if we took it to the next level and added a "whistle" to attract the attention of the AI. Since we are nearing the end of our base level intellegence AI tests we decided to give the character a whistle to attract attention. We still have a few bugs to iron out but the AI in our next test release should be unpredictable and react to certain noises and visions within the environment.
The test we have here is the AI moving to a waypoint. The character whistles to get their attention. If they cant see person who whistled, they will walk to where the whistle happened and have a look around. If they cant see anything, they will return to their waypoint and continue their cycle of waypoints until distracted again. If they see you, they will chase and attack you. If they lose sight after attacking the same rules apply, look around, cant see you, start waypoints again.
That's it for this week.
