LogInCharles Cox presented a new gameplay feature based on the Boids algorithm.
Indie Game Developer Charles Cox continues working on More Than Human, an open-world adventure game where you can morph into various animals or creatures, unveiling a brand-new gameplay mechanic set up for the project.
This time around, the developer showcased a captivating predator/prey chase mechanic, designed to have packs of carnivores pursue the player if they transform into an innocuous animal, like, for example, a deer. According to the author, the mechanic was set up in Unreal Engine 5 and is based on Boids – an algorithm originating from Craig Reynolds' 1986 artificial life program developed to simulate the flocking behavior of birds.
