Making progress

My framework is coming along pretty well. I now have the very basic beginnings of enemies. I’m just using Ogre’s built-in stuff for now (and perhaps for the mini). I can spawn multiple ninjas and have them stand around, randomly going through their three idle animations. If the player moves within range of them, they start slowly stalking the player.

The stalking behavior is because the only translatable animations for the ninja are “stealth” and “walk” and “walk” seems to be very carefree.

So, I can spawn a group of ninjas and make them stalk the player. It’s kinda creepy to be stalked by a bunch of ninja – but in a good way :) . Next, I think I’ll make them attack. Then, I need to make them collide and be smarter – it looks trippy when they all bunch up.

So, there’s still not much but hey, you can run, jump and stuff can chase you!

  1. Being stalked by ninjas!? Awesome.
