New Aerial Strike This is the new basic aerial strike. It's easier to execute than the directional attacks were, and much more satisfying as you buzz-saw through endless enemies, leaving only corpses in your wake! |

Redid my whole tileset to de-emphasize the deadzones. It really helps the actual scenery pop. Here's a flipping bird combo  Holy what? |

It looks great as always!
I'm a bit concerned by the readability of the level though, in the sense that the computer looks like it is in the background, and then you suddenly can land on top of it.

Boss Scripting Had a real, "duh" moment. Being new to game dev, I have severe ah-hah moments where I realize I was over-complicating something simple. Most platformers have extremely simple AI behavior (if you can even call it that), and I was trying to re-invent the wheel before. I'm finding that having simple behaviors combined with timers results in a much more classical, if not predictable, feeling. Complexity can come from combining a variety of simple behaviors instead of starting from a point of complexity. This is starting to feel ranty... |

Nice work on the boss, you're exactly right. Having the player discover patterns and timing in a boss battle is sometimes all you need to create a memorable boss. |

there's nothing bad about reinventing the wheel, unless you are bound by deadlines and don't mind when you finish. I would be interested to know which "wrong" direction you were headed. the boss is looking sweet! |

My guess would be attempting to create legitimate (albeit simple) AI vs. implementing various patterns that enemies can follow.
If that's not it Id' be interested in hearing as well!

I do research in AI, but I'm going super simple on the AI in my current game project (which I hope to get something done on one of these weeks). I think there's no problem at all with going simple (and even predictable), depending on the needs of the game.

Yeah, you guys nailed it. I was 'trying too hard' to make AI actual AI. Contra-style pre-scripted encounters are almost always more interesting than Call of Duty AI that knows what you're thinking.

Exactly. I've come to realize the same thing. Creating enemies with a couple unique patterns, and to make things interesting, combine different enemies with different patterns to create interesting scenarios.
