Devlog #8 - Sneaking, AI

Hello Vampires!
In this devlog, I will show you our progress in exploring part of Vampire Clans.

We are converting a considerable part of the game to use final models and graphic setup, so a lot of stuff in the screenshots still needs to be prepared, be aware of that - in this devlog, we are showing the logical part of the game.

This is the map we are currently working on, which presents a sawmill where our vampires will hunt and do some quests.

We made a stealth system, which allows sneaking among enemies undetected and killing them from the shadows. Now everyone can pick the best playstyle for him; you can sneak with or without killing, or just go to the open fight and smash your enemies.
Enemies react to vampires' actions, such as running, killing, and casting skills by their hearing perception. Also, they can see vampires or dead bodies and react to that.

You can build a special room, which allows you to summon trained bats to help you in sneaking; they can, i.a., distract enemies, hide their bodies or blind them for a while.

Additionally, we are working on NPC's AI. Aside of fight (which is also upgraded), they can now patrol, raise the alarm, surrender, call for help, and make an investigation while they would be distracted by some noise or when they find a corpse. More information about AI will be available soon, we need to polish some behaviors.

I hope you like it, tell us what you think about this update on our Discord channel. Feel free to share your ideas and suggestions.
