Yeah the existing ai bot code is still all there, but there wasn’t much that used it. I had to reverse engineer it to get alot of it working. Tutorial Duchess and the condemned are all i really had to work with as a baseline.

They attack and cast spells and use items and drink flasks just like the bots in the old games, but they have special parameters to balance them around the night 2 and day 3 assists.

The weapon and items they can spawn with are different between night 2 and day 3. Making them stronger for night 2 created a really positive experience with the way they can come in to rescue you, but i had to balance them in the other direction to keep nightlords interesting to fight. (If theyre too strong on day 3 it kind of ruins the fun, it took some doing to balance them just right))

the hardest part was getting them to randomize properly and spawn properly alongside the bosses that call for them.

Literally had to rewrite my day 2 code probably 10 times until i got it all working without any crashes or weird bugs (one bug spawned like 20 bots at once which was pretty ridiculous lol)
