[News] About the next update and Ai team system
Added 2021-02-27 08:45:29 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Just a heads up that the new patch is almost ready!
I'm just having a problem with Merishya causing the engine to crash because of some change on the way the AI now works and then it will be ready for you. Since I probably won't be able to work on it too much on saturday because of personal reasons, I'll try my best to push the update on sunday or monday!
And about the AI changes: I've made an overhaul on the way NPCs perceive each other so now they are split into "teams". For now, you might not notice too much of a change except for the fix at the dungeon where Acolytes will no longer hit each other because now they will know that they are on the same team. With the next update, you might face a rare occasion where wolves will be attacking deers or Akrasiel. But in the background, guards, predator animals, prey animals, Kalyskah allies, acolytes, coward villagers, brave villagers, bandits and vampire hunters (the seekers) all have their own separate team and interact with each other differently. We just don't have enough situation where you'll see they fighting each other.
But eventually, when we introduce the Civil War arc in Milhaven, you'll see some places where Eckhart's men will be attacking Milhaven or fighting the Husks in the woods. So the team system was a huge step towards what we plan to improve how alive the world will feel.
