- Patch Notes - 2 October 2020
Added escape menu to practice mode so you can quit. Made weapons, health, and shield get picked up if you are standing on them during spawn. Fixed pickup, damage, and some other sounds being too loud at a distance. Bot now drops health and shield shards after being killed. Made projectiles not hit upper platform edges as easily when firing down on a target. Reduced the size of projectiles overall to make them hit less. Reduced player's top and bunnyhop speed to make traveling through the maps more fluid. Reduced the maximum speed of the AI to balance it with the player's reduced speed. Increased randomness of bot weapon fire spread to make it less accurate. Added an colorful outline to the bot to make it easier to track. Added a color fill to the bot so the player can see it through walls and get to the action faster.

We've been wanting to create a Utility AI system since we thought it sounded cool. So, we did some research and then programmed a bunch of Utility AI "actions" like attack, retreat, pickup health, fire weapon, etc. based on Utility AI "inputs/axes" like amount of health, can see player, amount of confidence, etc. It took a while but we finally got a Utility AI controlled bot fighting us 1v1.

Fixed air control not working on original island maps.

I've randomized the AI bot movement to more accurately mimic human movement behavior. The bot now adjusts its straight line path, strafes, looks around, and never takes the perfect/lowest cost route to any destination. I overrode the navigation mesh path, using custom C++, to get randomize it and get smooth movement between the modified points.
