Off The Grid: Research Complete

After a quick rewrite of the collision detection system, and a couple extra AI systems that aid in pathfinding (more on that in a future post), I’ve got the monsters working just how I need them to.  Even with a super fast spawn rate, they don’t overlap, and if they get deadlocked trying to get into a doorway from opposite directions, they will back off after a moment and retry.

With omniscient pathing turned on, the rats are completely unstoppable.

This is with pathfinding disabled, and AI set to move Gauntlet style (always towards the player).
