Greetings, Raiders!
Got another bigger update for you all. As we promised, we're bringing more enemy AI improvements, to try and address some of the issues since the last few updates.
The current state of the enemy AI and game difficulty is still not where we'd like it to be, so there will be more changes made in the future based on community feedback. It has proven to be quite a challenge to try and hammer the spaghetti of the AI code into shape, so we really need the feedback on how everything feels now. Please let us know!
