The NPC AI now only cares about the player if they are doing something suspicious, like carrying an object or trespassing.
You can totally tell that it works because the amazing square turns red when the player is doing something suspicious in their line of sight.
...I think it's cool.

Oh, come on, brain. We have a day to work on our own projects, and you are not cooperating.
What are you thinking about now?
Why nothing in life is certain other than death and taxes?
The origin of the word "chair"?
DON'T MAKE ME COME IN THERE.

One day I will make my dream game, which is a cross between NHL94 and Hotline Miami.
It was the first thing I tried to make in Unity 4.3 13 years ago. I knew nothing, so it didn't go very far.
Luckily dreams don't die, they just go into hibernation.

Them: "We are making a game about the impact humans have on the environment."
Me: Cool.
Them: "Yeah, it's going to make millions."
Me: Cool.
Them: "Yeah, I'm using AI to write all the code for it, and I don't see an issue with that."
Me: Co.........Wait, what?

Pool's errand is feeling more like a video game every day.
Still not 100% sure where it's going, but the bones are there.
Don't forget to take a step back once in a while to appreciate all the work you put into a project.
Even dumb ones like this…

Oh boy, it's that time of the year where we feel bad about not achieving the thing we said we'd do at the beginning of the year and then pick another thing that we could possibly be sad about this time next year.

I always think about the fact that there is probably an absolute gem of a game out there that I just don't know about because it has been buried by everything else.
It's the sad reality of gamedev that even a brilliant game can be lost to the ages for a million different non game related reasons.

Life is either a blur of chaos or a slow, grueling march. Somebody really needs to teach the universe about pacing.

This brings a tear to my eye. Fans bringing a beloved franchise back to life with the blessings of the IP owners.
I know there are others like this out there, but they are few and far between.

China Warrior on the Turbografx 16.
An auto scroller, ummmm, beat 'em up? Look, it sucks, bad.
I'm trying to play random games and work out how I could improve them to boost my game design skills.
Without completely changing the game, how would you improve this turd?

Wow, I just found out that running on an angle while holding an object and then breaking the object on a wall and triggering dialogue soft locks my game.
Game dev bugs are brutal.
Test everything all the time, folks.
