Scrap Pirates – Big Game Project – Blog Post #5

This week I worked on another AI, very similar to how the Caterpillar works.

This was however an AI for the enemy called “Incinerator”. It will have a set ground where it can move back and forth, and when a player is close, it will start chasing the player with its furnace hatch open.

A screenshot from the game where you can see the incinerator.

Some problems with this AI was that it looked weird when it stopped chasing the player as soon as the player left the incinerator’s set ground, This can be fixed by placing the incinerator on a platform and having the set ground as big as the platform, a better solution might occur later but for now this solution will do.

I have also worked on creating and remembering a presentation for Gotland Game Conference, where our game will be shown.
