Since my co-programmer has left I've started picking up the pieces in regards to the AI re-write that we promised. I have to say that I'm very happy with the progress I've made so far.
I feel that it is important to keep those of you involved with Project Explore's early access up-to-date with what is going on behind the scenes. So here we go!
Animals have multiple states, including thirsty, hungry, scared, angry, hot, cold, and a idle state.
The thirsty wolf goes and searches for fresh water

He finds some and has a drink

But he is still hungry and must search for food

He finds and eats a deer, pretty brutal

I think that the new AI will really make the world feel more alive and may very well open up new doors for pets perhaps. Of course I don't want to disappoint anyone so we'll just see how this all goes in the next update.
I expect this update to take a few more days to complete but of course we'll see.
Thanks for reading everybody! You guys/gals are awesome!
