Mechanical Lab Devlog – A6 Robot-Dog Update
Hello, fellow engineers! Time for another Mechanical Lab devlog, and this one is particularly exciting. I've been working on an update that introduces a brand-new companion to the game—a highly advanced robot-dog named A6.
Meet A6 – Your Trusty Mechanical Sidekick
A6 is designed to be more than just a loyal companion; he's an integral part of the player's journey through the game world. With precision engineering, this robotic canine will assist players in multiple ways:
Exploration – A6 can now accompany players on their travels, trotting alongside them as they navigate the landscapes of town.
Resource Gathering – No more manual scavenging! A6 will intelligently collect materials and deliver them straight to the player's vehicle, making survival and crafting more efficient.
Future Enhancements – This is just the beginning. In upcoming updates, A6 may evolve into a true guardian, capable of protecting the player from threats in the wild.
Development Progress
I've been refining A6’s AI behavior, ensuring he feels like a true companion rather than just another tool. His movement, responsiveness, and interaction mechanics are shaping up nicely. Right now, I’m ironing out:
Pathfinding & Navigation – A6 needs to keep up with the player and traverse obstacles dynamically.
Resource Prioritization – Teaching him how to identify valuable resources and efficiently deliver them.
Animations & Sounds – Fine-tuning his movements so they feel organic, and adding satisfying mechanical whirrs.
That’s all for this devlog—stay tuned for more updates! Let me know what you think about A6 and what you'd love to see in future iterations.
