I had to build a proper area to test the SWAT team's combat ability. They did pretty good with only a little bit of friendly fire. It's hard to keep up with them sometimes! And yes they are shooting at pumpkins on sticks #gamedev #lowpoly #pixelart

Demonstrating the realtime navmesh architecture, the SWAT team's "flashbang" grenade actually blew a hole in the wall which they then use to navigate to their next destination. This was not intended. #gamedev

The SWAT team can now deploy flashbangs! Only two problems: 1. I haven't made flashbangs yet, so they have to use frag grenades 2. Their timing is a little off #gamedev #lowpoly #pixelart

Notice how the team takes position outside the door. This means I now have fine control over the breaching phase of the room clearing algorithm, which means next I can add flashbangs / grenades. This is 100% procedural, 0 level markup required! #gamedev #pixelart #cyberpunk

Squads (and individuals) can navigate ladders. Here the team had split up to surround their target area near the rooftop radio tower. #gamedev #pixelart #cyberpunk

Procedural map metadata includes rooms, chokepoints, doorways, connections between rooms, and map topology. The SWAT team uses this information to plan their attack on the level. #gamedev #pixelart #cyberpunk

I thought it would take too much time to set up a bunch of finnicky markup in every single level so I ended up implementing fully procedural CQB room clearing for the SWAT teams. #gamedev #cyberpunk #pixelart

yogurt dev @scrudgey.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Lots of deep work on AI, pathing algorithms, map metadata with the ultimate goal of having NPCs perform tactical room clearing. First step is being able to navigate to the entrance to the room in question. #gamedev

Not much to show right now but I've been doing so much work refactoring the AI code with the ultimate aim of a greatly improved SWAT team experience

A little more view into the NPC AI. I've been drilling hard on their tracking behavior. They will follow the player's trail up to a point, but eventually they have to just guess a direction and start covering ground. #gamedev

yogurt dev @scrudgey.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Flanking behavior confirmed. This required some extreme wizardry with generated map metadata, navmesh areas, graph theory, automated chokepoint identification, and behavior trees. #gamedev

More experimentation with generative methods on top of the navmesh. Post-processing of the navmesh is done in python. Here I generate rough flow fields by connecting centroids of the navmesh and smoothing. Guards in vigilance state navigate from node to node somewhat randomly / undirected. #gamedev

Automatic coverpoint identification: this has been on the wishlist for a long time. This is now working and used in-game at runtime. More map metadata for enhancing the NPC AI #gamedev

discretize navmesh into a graph structure, export the graph, load into python, run some graph algorithms to identify rooms and chokepoints. success! #gamedev
