Tuning Bounty Hunt bots in Datten: they should seek groups for bonus points, but back off before the tagger gets an easy catch. The flow is improving, but still needs work. 🎮

Wired up a visualizer for the influence map to see why the bot was playing so flat.

Turns out the AI was reading parts of the terrain through the player's fog-of-war filter, so it had zero clear read on the board.

But that wasn't all 👇

Implemented the boss fight

Camera changes to wide shot
Music slows down and adds heavy reverb
Switches attacks between jabs and homing bullets

Added SFX to the traps

Also updated the enemy pathfinding—mobs are aware of hazard zones and actively avoid stepping into them.

Added 3 trap types to the game

Acid: Deals continuous contact damage

Electric: Deals no damage, but stuns & knocks back

Laser: Cycles ON/OFF—contact while ON deals damage & knockback

Found a new problem in Bounty Hunt: the bots discovered that standing in a big group earns points… so now they mostly just form a crowd instead of running or acting paranoid. 😅 Time to make them a little less trusting.

The pipes aren’t safe anymore 😄 Bots in Datten can now reach players trying to camp up high and farm points. Slowly making the AI better at handling all the weird places players can reach.
