#12 | (WIP) Enemy System

Hello!

In the last log, I covered setting up the modular wave spawning mechanic. This log will cover the different enemy types in more detail.

Now, onto the enemies. Just like in traditional HvZ, each enemy type has it's own special attribute(s). For the purpose of this game, I've also assigned varying health and speed. The table below is an example of this, but the values are not set in stone. Play testing will be needed to balance this properly.

At the time of writing this, I haven't setup the Spitter enemy type because of some issues I ran into while using the A* Pathfinding Project asset. I might have to build my own AI / Path system from the ground up, but only time will tell.

Linked below is a preview of how the Legionnaire enemies will behave. I have to stress that this is nowhere near the final product.

When this game gets to the play testing phase (alpha, beta), I think I'll allow the user to modify those and other variables from the settings menu and see what the play testers come up with for balance. Ultimately, I am not a good judge of balance nor quality, I need outside support for that.

That's all for this log. The next ones should focus on building the shop system, and fixing a few bugs in the blaster system. I still have to implement internal magazines for specific blasters.

Thanks for reading!
