This week I have worked on updating the GUI and lighting. The GUI and lighting I was using was mainly for test purposes. I have now updated them so the game is easier to understand and better to look at.

Tag: Dev Log
I have made a video showing the first playable version of Retool, and I do use playable in the loosest sense. In the video, I talk about the following points:
- The name change of the game, from Bounty Hunter to Retool
- What the game is about
- The objectives in a level
- How the electronic network system (ENS?) works
- My influences, which includes Gunpoint and Hitman
Drop me an email if you want to try out the practice level and give me feedback.

Stealth AI In Practice
In my last post, I talked about how I wanted the AI to work in Bounty Hunter. I had a chance over the past week to implement the AI and found out something important… the game is not fun with smarter AI.

Stealth AI
I have been working on Bounty Hunter for nearly two months now. So far, I have managed to create a player that can move and shoot, NPC that walks and runs from gunshots, and guards that chase and kill the player when they see him. Now I want to improve the AI of the guards. I am going to improve the AI of the NPC but at a later stage of development as they are not that important just yet.
Now I have been researching on how to make the AI feel more human and react better when they see the player, see a dead body, or hear some noise. Here are the things I will (try to) implement into the game to achieve my goal of better stealth AI.

The Week Of Awesome II
This month I have decided to participate in the GameDev.net’s ‘The Week of Awesome II‘. This is a game development competition (game jam). I decided to create this post to state that I will be participating in this competition. I will be writing about my progress during the competition on my journal on GameDev.net. This blog post will also serve as my development log to make it easier for people to follow my progress. Everything what I talk about on my journal will also be updated on here.

ADROIT: Prototype To Implementation
During the past couple of few weeks whilst I was working on Nameless, I decided to start working on another game. This game was the recently released ADROIT. The game was going to be a small game to sort-of celebrate a year since I started game development. I decided to make this game as I had not completed one game yet from prototype to final release (I don’t count games made during game jams).

This is the third development log update on my Nameless game. In this video I talk about all the updates since my last development log video.

If you got any questions, feedback or ideas about the game then leave a comment or hit me up on Twitter.

Nameless Development Log 01
This is the first development log update on Nameless. I was quite nervous since this was the first time I ever recorded something on my screen and did a voice over as you can probably tell from the video.
