April 26th Weekly Update (Patreon)

This week ended up being the completion of what I was working on last week.

As you can see in the video above, I've finished up creating the freeze effect on enemies, as they can now be smashed or thawed out.  

This took a lot of work, and I'm not sure I'm super excited with how it ended up.  I wanted to have the frozen parts of the smashed enemy, but I'm sure I'll end up tweaking how they look as they go.

I also spent the time to rewrite the logic of enemy attacks this week, so that I can change the behaviour of enemies to be more individualized.  
Per the example last weak with the bird goblin:  He can shoot at you when at range, but if you get close, he's smart enough to try to melee you back out into shooting range.
This actually took a while, and almost involved a roll back to an earlier version with things were broken completely for a little while.

I had hoped to make this update a little more exciting, but these things ended up taking more time than I anticipated.  

Unrelated, my roommate has tested positive for Corona Virus, and although the symptoms seem to be super mild for them, we are none the less quarantined for a while.   Hopefully this ends up being nothing, as I feel perfectly fine, but I could end up needing to take a few days off if either of us start to feel really sick!

I hope everyone stays healthy and safe!
