i should feel complemented...
i should really feel complemented. well, i should say that i should feel MORE complemented. back in december 2005 when i started at retro, i was assigned one of those entry tasks that you get in order to get your feet wet and feel comfortable with a new job. for me that was a creature AI for the game that we are working on.
well, a month or two ago, i find out that we will be taking that ai, and using it with a different model and slightly different behavior (with no modification to the code, yea data driven programming!). that is cool. i kinda like my little beastie and hope that the players enjoy smiting him repeatedly.
well, last week i find out all about the uber-version of my creature. tougher and more threatening. cool, more fun with no data change.
well, today i find out that we are going to add some features to the little guy for one of the variants. no big deal, shouldn't even be a day's worth of work. oh, and there is a fourth version that we are going to do.
talk about getting your milage out of a few thousand lines of code!
