AI and AI Damage

-

Since I have spent all this time on mechanics it would be a waste to not have any reason to use them so I have added simple AI enemies to attack and kill. This is done simply by using the apply damage event that is tied to a collision box attached to the players sword. This collision box is active at all times so the player can currently just walk into the enemy to do damage, however since the event only triggers on a single overlap the player can't just simply hold the sword next to an enemy and kill them.

However there are some obvious downsides as not creating my own animations will inevitably limit the scope and features of the game as I will be constrained by what animations I have at the time. However, it is incredibly unlikely that my project will come close to needing specific animations made as if I want to complete this project properly I will have to limit some of my ambitions. It is simply impossible for me to make a fully fledged action game on my own in the time I have. These animations will put a hard lock on my ambitions ...

Today I made some minor tweaks to some assets cleaning up some un-textured assets and adding sound effects upon hitting an enemy and them dying. Packaging went very smoothly and I have I have recorded footage of a playthrough of the level as well as making short recordings of a few features that I developed but were not shown in the normal playthrough.
