They had a AI-driven ecosystem in mind, but scraped it. The agents, just snowballed the whole Eco-system.. meaning.. a mutated dog chases a rat, both run into a mutated boar, thus the chase cascades through the level.. until some incredibly strong monster hunts a tsunami of mutated boards towards the player. Which is cool.. but not fun.
- bryondowd 10y agoReminds me of Everquest, circa 2000, when a player got in over their head and started a 'train to zone'. Enemies would chase you to the end of the map/zone, so when a player realized they couldn't win a fight, they'd beeline for the boundary, and often picked up dozens of other enemies along the way. When they crossed the zone boundary, all those enemies would suddenly have no target, and fixate on any poor soul who happened to be nearby, or along their route back to their spawn area. Haven't thought about that in a long time.
