The idea in my game is that you don’t control any of the tiny men directly, but rather just build buildings for them use use. It’s working relatively well right now, and the code for adding new buildings is actually not that horrible.<\/p>\n

However, the AI sucks. \ud83d\ude09 They frequently pick up rocks only to run away with them and get lost in the woods. I’m trying not to add a too complex AI as I believe much of the fun in games like this comes from figuring out how the AI works and exploiting that.. besides, there’s not much time left.<\/p>","time":"August 9th, 2008 12:27 pm","title":"New screenshots, and AI woes"}
