Got the pathing done for my bird-snipers this weekend, and
it's good enough that I won't be touching it for a long time!!
My method lets me just use the entire map mesh directly as their navmesh, which makes things So much easier.
I'll detail my solution in a thread here : )

last few weeks have been very rough, hoping I can get back in the creative saddle soon though

Top-down view showing off my spawning director!
It fetches all the rooms nearby the player in order to spawn enemies within a reasonable distance.
Still needs a little tweaking, but I've also got the system creating and maintaining waves based on enemy budgets.
Excited! : )

Just finished setting up a piece that will feed into many enemies' decision making for MINDPALACE!
Area3D's mark out rooms & tunnels. Once a path is generated, we can see how many rooms/tunnels will be crossed.
This will help ambushers set up in spaces a player might escape to.

i love making crappy little sketches in MS Paint to help myself get more of a grasp on things So much, lol.
This time i explored what im planning for my enemy sandbox in MINDPALACE and it actually helped me find some holes to plug in the roles that i need them to play.

Been busy on MINDPALACE since my last update : ]
Added a bird-sniper-enemy, researched Godot's navigation solutions, and put a LOT of thought into the methodology of map design for this game.
The birds are simple right now, but I love how the shooting animation turned out!

Couldn't find a good solution to sorting collision boxes down into manageable subgroups in Godot, which arose from needing to link some collision boxes to an imported skeleton animation.
Here's what I came up with to solve both of those issues!
Hopefully this can help someone somewhere : )

Fully finished the first draft of the kit for The Falconer in MINDPALACE, very satisfied with how it's turned out!! It probably won't change much mechanically as development contines : )
Next up is The Surgeon and some more map development

starting to have something resembling actual gameplay :o
i think the last big thing i needa figure out is actual enemy pathing, beyond that it's mostly just going to be a long haul of making content : 3

just added landmine explosive jumps!
i realized afterwards that i don't think i've ever seen a game do this actually? at least, i can't remember any games that have done this, closest thing i can think of is tf2 sticky jumping

brushed up a lot more on my linear algebra today!
here's landmines sticking to walls
and also the quick lil' calculation to get an orthogonal vector to the surface the object hits if it helps anyone : )
