It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark… ‘Cause this is thriller! Thriller night!<\/p><\/div>\n

… For those of you in EST. \u00a0It’s a new day, and I made great progress last night. \u00a0Just before I hit the hay, I made an Enemy mob which for now will serve as the object for all of my enemy models. \u00a0All it does right now is slowly shamble in one direction, but I’m hoping to get to pathfinding today. \u00a0Since pathfinding might be a large effort, I’m going to do some polishing before I get into it, just to make sure that if I fail on that there is still a semi-working game. \u00a0I could always just spawn the mobs and point them at the player’s base. \u00a0I would probably have to give them the ability to break through blocks, but that’s a backup plan.<\/p>\n

For now the plan is to create traps! \u00a0A spike trap, and a hammer trap for now. \u00a0They’re going to have triggered animations, meaning they’ll animate only when someone walks on them. \u00a0Hopefully that will only take me an hour or two, and then it’s on to pathfinding! \u00a0The game is looking better since my last post. \u00a0I added a few more block types, and reworked the map we’re on. \u00a0Take a look at the progress!<\/p>","time":"December 16th, 2012 8:50 am","title":"Good Morning Ludum! \u2026 with Zombies!"}
