The types of enemies we face are very important. If they are too difficult, then it spoils the game, too easy and it makes the game boring.
They have to fit with the overall theme of the game and they need to be varied. There are essentially two types of enemy: umanoid (Bipedal – Two legs, standing upright) and Non-Humanoid (Everything else! Headcrabs, Antlions etc).
This weeks questions is simple: Which do you prefer to play against?
With the recent release of Rock 24 I thought PP readers might like to hear what the two developers had to say about designing the mod.
Below you will find a brief interview with Henley Bailey & Richard Acherki.

About I have an idea that’s not fully formed but I want to present it to you now, so please bear with me while I try to explain it. I want to say that it probably isn’t feasible until the A.I. of the enemy becomes much better and doesn’t need paths and lots of code… Read More
