HI-09 - Enemy Diary #3 (THEY ARE FINALLY DONE)
Added 2025-03-14 23:03:55 +0000 UTCLong time coming, huh?
So, the enemies finally have a BASELINE. In Shipwrecked, I simply created a baseline enemy and based all other enemies off of the outline one. In previous cases, it was Olive, but this time, for the sake of easier productions of animations and sounds, it was Giovanni.
The footage attached is the gate puzzle the game uses on several different occasions. You have to scan a decal on the door and then solve a quick puzzle to get it open. But sometimes, if an enemy is in the building.. they will interfere.
THATS RIGHT BABYYYY THE SIDEBAR SCARES ARE BACK.
I was worried about how i would pull it off, given how weird it is to work with flipbooks as opposed to videos, but I feel as though the results speak for themselves.
When the whole sequence takes place, Giovanni is dropped RIGHT behind you, and if you run or make eye contact, he sees you.
This AI works for basically any enemy so long as I properly apply its parameters.
I'll keep you guys in the loop but regardless I am STOKED

As lame as an answer as this probably is, it's mostly done with level streaming (seeing as the applications running are built in Unreal Engine as is). Basically, when you scan into the puzzle, it cuts straight to the puzzle with some added animations, and upon completion, it opens the door. You can close out of the tab and such and it all basically works identically, just running in-engine. I would've liked to keep the site variation, but due to how the save data is stored differently there's not really a way that makes it possible (one is saved as a cookie in your browser, the other is saved to Appdata).

2025-08-11 19:09:09 +0000 UTCNow that the game is going to be a Steam release, how do you plan on implementing these mechanics? Will it open a local web page that the exe interacts with?
