Dev Log: June 8-11, 2025

Hello adventurers! Here's a quick look at what's been happening behind the scenes in the Dungeons of Wyrd over the past few days:

🧭 Wandering AI Implementation

• We've introduced Wandering AI mechanics! Characters with this functionality can now explore their surroundings dynamically.
• Leveraging Unity's NavMesh system, agents set random navigable points within designated areas. These wandering bots will bring a living, breathing vibe to your dungeons.
• This system is prepared for interaction handling through a Chain of Responsibility, allowing versatile behavior extensions when characters encounter objects.

🎮 Updates on Input and World Translation

• Input handling was improved with better screen-to-world translation, aligning character controls more intuitively with on-screen interactions.
• This improvement will enhance player interaction with the game world, ensuring a smoother, more precise gameplay experience.

🎨 New Scenes: Settings and Credits

• Added two new scenes: Settings and Credits! These will make it easier for players to configure their experience and appreciate the tremendous efforts that went into this project.
• The Settings scene is a step closer to enabling customizable options like sound, graphics, and controls.

🎞 Retro Visual Effects

• Introduced a new retro effect pipeline! This feature will bring a nostalgic touch to the game's design while enhancing its artistic charm.
• More visual updates coming soon to make the dungeons feel even more adventurous.

📈 Character Stats Now Synced with NavMesh Agents

• We've integrated stat-based speed synchronization for characters using NavMesh. This allows us to tie gameplay elements seamlessly with character performance attributes, such as modifying their walking or running speeds dynamically based on their stats.

This week's updates reflect our commitment to making Dungeons of Wyrd more immersive, dynamic, and polished. Stay tuned for more as we continue shaping this adventure into something magical!

As always, we appreciate your support and feedback. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
