So, after some thinking, I will be suspending updates to WOC.
I have been thinking for a long time to make (what I think is) much needed upgrades and polishing to the game’s AI. I feel like the player is the main contributor to any match. In my eyes, this makes the ai useless other than just cannon fodder. So, I will be pushing back the weather update to work on the AI upgrades.
While I have a very basic targeting system, it’s not really enough. Why? The system does not target the closest enemy to a bot. It just picks a random one on the map. This means that it is likely to attack something off screen, and it will do nothing.
So, I won’t update the game till I can get this targeting system mastered. This will not be the only addition to this update. What else will I be adding?
When this update releases, the game version will be updated to 2.0

@sirbots Woah, you’re making quite a big project! I haven’t really looked at it yet but make sure to tell me when it’s at a good and playable point so I can play it and provide feedback. It’s awesome more people are interested in creating big projects with CreatiCode, since I’m also making a pretty huge project.

@sirbots,
I am also making a test game that includes a working AI mechanic. It may not be as good as the ones you have, but it does feel more fluid and lifelike.
If you want to check it out here is the link. Enjoy!
