Dev Journal: Internal Logic

I’m deep in the process of building Project Wild One’s AI overhaul, but that’s required a lot of smaller support projects along the way. I’ve been working on a lot of different parts, and I think it might be about time to shift focus again so I can get a new update put together sooner rather than later. There’s a lot to talk about, so let’s get into the thick of it!

I’ve been dissatisfied with all these ups and downs I’ve been going through and what a strange mess the cycle above has become. It’s hard on me and I suspect it slows things down in the long run. I always try to rush through this final stage, to get the new version ready absolutely as soon as possible, because I know everyone is waiting.
