TF Game Jam 2025 - Submission Devlog: Day 12:
Okay, so I DID spend another day working on the NPC AI, BUT it's at the point now where I find it super mesmerizing to watch them all sort into their attack positions.
NOW I'll throw some chaos into the mix by moving the kobolds ;)

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".
Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

It may not look too different to yesterday but I have a much smarter algorithm for determining flank position for these NPCs now.
It's still pretty basic but it's enough for this jam I think.
I think tomorrow it's time to start moving kobolds

Spent a whole heap of time today just trying to process how this behaviour system is all going to slot together.
I feel like I'm building a very complex engine, and a lack of focus could really mess me up down the line.
Slow and steady...

I got sick of Godot not having ANY in-built debug drawing options, so I wrote my own debug library using the line draw function (it was a pain in the butt to get it working)
Anyways look I programmed avoidance :v

Damn I wanted to play this one too. Ah well! Nevermind :P
Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

TF Game Jam 2025 - Submission Devlog: Day 8
Sometimes I get far enough in a project that I feel like I’ve put so much effort into it, but not far enough to feel like it means anything.
That’s how I feel about this game right now. Tons of backend work, no game.
I really hope this doesn’t suck…

If you've ever considered drawing, please do so now. If not for other people then for yourself. Be annoyed when you don't like it, and keep going. See the beauty in knowing that not every brushstroke makes you better. Don't let your soul fritter. Expand your mind. Seek your reflection in your craft.
