You fool, just use the vision system you already created!
(Note that the avoidance isn't in yet, these are just the vision checks)

Some long term #gamedev ideas I've had:
🚀 Tactical space combat with real-ish orbital mechanics
🚚 "Mount and Blade with tanks" Dieselpunk WW1
🌳 Board game (similar to Go) where each game played becomes a sculpture (w/ garden/museum)
🤖 Game where you play as a rogue telepresence robot
🚀 Tactical space combat with real-ish orbital mechanics
🚚 "Mount and Blade with tanks" Dieselpunk WW1
🌳 Board game (similar to Go) where each game played becomes a sculpture (w/ garden/museum)
🤖 Game where you play as a rogue telepresence robot
Things I'd really still like to create someday in my #gamedev career:
✂️ Game/tool hybrid (Dreams, Super Mario Maker etc.)
🏁 Racing game
📱 Collection of simple (ad-free/in-app-free) free offline mobile games
🧬 Life simulation game
What are yours?

I don't think they'll be able to navigate narrow alleyways, but these guys are able to follow the nav mesh pretty effectively nonetheless.
I will need to add behavior for 3-point turns and maybe some stabilization 🤔
