The Unintended Enemies #1

Hello,
Today I'm gonna talk about the enemies in Unintended.
I wanted to avoid your basic hack-something-to-death style of gameplay as much as I could. So currently all enemies kill the player instantly if they hit you. It's possible that I will introduce later some health system depending on the feedback. Also I think there will not be any traditional weapons in the game, but rather just combinations of different tool usages.
For instance to kill this cute bunny you need to first freeze it and then hack it to pieces with a pickaxe.


One should not get fooled by their cute appearance. They are most certainly very deadly.

The bunnies have a very simplistic movement and are easily avoidable. 
Same goes for this Mud Monster. He is not  killable at all, but you'll need to lure it to another area.

This week I mostly worked on some pathfinding solutions to get more interesting enemies done. 



This will open up possibilities for something different. For instance the player can block these creatures to inside somewhere and trap them there.
I also created some caves with bats and stuff and they turned out nicely atmospheric. 
That's what's been going on with this game. Hope there was something interesting here. 
I'll be back in a week or so.

    No wonder he always had a terrified look on his face... Do you personally have a name for him? :)
