Under a Desert Sun - progress update

Hi everyone,

As you can see I am working on air enemies for the flight levels. As you know the current test level for flight only allows you to fly around a bit. The next step is to make it more exiting by adding air enemies.

Currently I am at the stage where I have enemies that are able to fly around and follow you. Next up will be that they'll be able to shoot at you when in range.

I will be releasing this behaviour in stages. I thought it would be nice for all the early access users to just experience how the AI behaviour evolves so I've decided to make sure that the follow behaviour is somewhat accurate and will be releasing it on the test level. That way you can all experience how it works so far.

Stages:
- AI can follow the player (Will release soon).
- AI will try and shoot the player and player is able to gun down enemies.
- Multiple enemy ai's and improvement on animations of enemies (Flaps and such do not animate when flying.

I'll make a proper update notice once I release this.

Kind regards,
Raymond
