AI Adventures #1 - Building Enemy AI in "Forgotten Memories" - By Michael Marquez

Oh, the pain. I have had better days for sure, at the moment I am attempting to get a custom animation sequence to work correctly. I am currently working on the first of many enemy units. The Berserker will have some basic operations, track the player, run around like a good berserker should, and smash the player once he or she is encountered. 

This is by far the simples of enemies so of course I will be deriving all other behaviors off of this guy.

     Xodius Studios Blog #13 Final UI Assets: Consumable slots, Equip menu slots, Inventory slots. Consumable Hotkey System. Bug Fixes: Duplication, Health & Mana Cap, Consumable Amount Update, Bow and Misc. Spawning action menu. Author: Kanitha Charoenpanich Published: 05/24/2023 20:24 The Features: I finally finished my consumable slot system during this final week of polishing. The consumable slot system works with the inventory, action menu, equip menu, and consumable slots. I also added the final touches on assets. I added a border to the inventory, equipment menu, and consumable slots. The consumable slots also got an ornament placeholder when there are no items equipped in the consumable slots. The health and mana also got a new code. The consumable amounts also update correctly on all menus when picking up another potion. The inputs in the project settings were also updated to work with the player controller input that controls the hotkeys for the consumable s...

Creating the door system in "Forgotten Memories"

 Author: Jared Barker Date: 2/20/2023  6:25 PM EST Xodius Studios Blog #2: Creating the door system in "Forgotten Memories". The Problem: For this week, I was working on the door rotation and the button to the door for the player to interact with. The door wasn't rotating when the player interacts with the button. So it's supposed to do that if the player goes to the door button (the button being an actor to the door), the camera shows the door being opened at  90 degrees from the z-axis. When testing the door, the camera shows the door, however, the door didn't rotate at 90 degrees from the z-axis. This can be a problem because if the player is stuck on a puzzle, then they won't be able to get out of that room if the door was locked. The Solution: After running a few tests on the door while debugging it, I figured out that to rotate the door, I had to set the relative rotation to the value of the yaw(which is the z-axis) from the door's position. After th...

Puzzle Level Design and Inventory UI

Xodius Studios Blog #1  Puzzle Level Design and Inventory UI Author: Kanitha Charoenpanich Published: 02/16/2023 17:21 The Problem:       This week I have been trying to implement my inventory system and design puzzles that the player can interact with in our game. The problem I have encountered when level designing is how to lay assets out in a way where the level doesn't feel stuffy, overwhelming, or underbalanced. I have been taking inspiration from other games to design puzzles. As for the Inventory, I have been laying out the UI to make it look like a basic inventory bag. I don't have problems with it currently besides getting the button that opens the inventory to be a click, not a hold. Problem Solution:     The solution I have come up with for the level designing is to brainstorm more and study other games. I am taking inspiration from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I am looking to set up ideas for "golf" puzzles, st...
