Hey everyone!

It's been a long time since I posted to IndieDB, but I'm trying to get caught up now. For starters, here's a showcase video I did on the dragon flight AI.

The dragon can:

  • Move smoothly between flight nodes
  • Change vertical position according to blended animation curves
  • Alter flight in order to steer toward player (done smoothly, and according to the "flexibility" of the flight nodes)
  • Use procedural animation to turn head toward player
  • Shoot flame when the player is close

In the future, I plan to make the dragon choose "perch points" to land and do different attack moves.Enjoy! :D
