Notes on features and problems from the development of D2X-XL, newest first.

Patroling Robots

A game does not only live by its general outline and balance, but by small details rounding it off, doesn't it? Well, what did you think when you saw the bots sitting around like frozen until they noticed you and finally started to move? To me this looked somewhat sterile. So I added some code to let them watch their environment and patrol around a little when they have nothing better to do.

I had always asked myself what these guys were doing when they felt nobody was observing them. Now I know.
