RamshackleStudios - The Little Dino!

The updates keep getting better and better. I am more and more excited for the finished product. Keep up the great work. :+1:

I also had a cool suggestion (This is just my opinion), I think it would be cool for the NPC’s movement to be altered a bit. Instead of moving side to side instantly, they should move from one side, stop for a moment, then move to the other side for a smoother product.

I agree, the current system is pretty basic. They move left to right, and occasionally they will walk one way longer than the other so it’s not the same every time (And the Velociraptors have a random chance to not move at all, and instead they’ll graze)

@ShadowGaming I figure this is what you meant?

Yep. I really like how it turned out.

Nothing huge planned for today, so don’t expect an update post. But I will be working on expanding on the map, and fixing Dino placement (I’ve decided that dinos are better off placed by hand rather than being randomly generated)

it took me a couple days to figure out what was going on, but I was able to figure out why combat wouldn’t work on aggressive Troodons! Basically the system works by responding to the last received message, and I didn’t realize that the Megapnosaur was sending something to Dixie at the same time, which is why fighting the Troodons was working in test levels, but not the real thing

Thats not the type of game I’m making, they should at least stay somewhat true to their prehistoric counterparts. With some obvious exaggeration to add character.
