Changelog (Limited)

I. Gameplay Enhancements

Evolution of Zombie AI Pathfinding:

A testing phase has led to a substantial transformation in the Zombies' AI pathfinding mechanism.

Overcoming numerous obstacles, Zombies now exhibit a "heightened ability" to navigate their path towards players, significantly elevating the gameplay experience. (Testing Phase)

Turrets: Resolved an issue that previously hindered turrets from adequately activating lasers or responding to proper activation cues.

Rectification of "Harder" Skill Crash:

Acknowledging the invaluable contribution of @TOMMY SALAMI, a veteran member of our community, the vexing harder skill crash has been effectively rectified.

The game now operates seamlessly even under the most challenging skill settings.

II. Emotional Status Engine Implementation

4.Integration of the Emotional Status Engine (ESE):

- A pioneering addition, the Emotional Status Engine ushers in a new era of character dynamics by introducing emotional states such as Happiness, Sadness, Anger & More.

- This revolutionary feature empowers characters to evolve dynamically in response to in-game occurrences, profoundly influencing their dispositions and interactions with the player.

4a. Dynamic Application of ESE to Zombies (Anger):

- ESE has been partially incorporated into Zombies (Anger)

- As their anger intensifies, Zombies exhibit increasingly swift reactions, augmenting the challenge posed to players.

4b. Implementation of ESE on Islave (Fear):

- The Emotional Status Engine now governs Islave (Scared/Bravery) behavior, inducing a sense of fear and avoidance when confronted with deceased comrades.

- Their diminishing bravery, a direct result of prolonged exposure to fallen allies, ushers in a distinct tactical element, transforming encounters with Islaves.

III. Adversarial Revival Restructuring

5. Restriction on Alien Slave Revival:

- Responding to community feedback, a recalibration of gameplay dynamics has been achieved through the introduction of a one-time revival limit for Alien Slaves, This deliberate adjustment refines the balance of encounters, adding strategic depth to engagements with Alien Slaves.
