Saving progress… — — Punched through this course today! I fixed the dancing guards problem from yesterday by changing the settings for auto-braking and stopping distance. It seems like it’s not an uncommon problem when working with NavMeshAgents — in fact, it may be required so multiple objects don’t obstruct…

Saving progress… — — Oh man is this all getting more and more exciting! The next section focused on building the enemy AI for the guards of the stealth game level. Similar to the player, the guards also use the NavMesh to move around the environment. The key difference here…

Saving progress… — — Friday marks the start of the end with the big boy: the final boss of the 2D Space Shooter. I’m using a sprite from the Asset store that I found earlier this week for the boss that spawns on the 10th wave of enemies. …
