(Unity's new behavior tree package for NPCs' behavior seems very cool!)

Ciao Ivano! Guarda, siamo in due ad essere timidi, nel mio caso specialmente sui social😅

6 years later, and here we are - our baby is on ✨Steam✨

We need all the visibility we can get, and I promise to send all of the good karma your way 🥹💗

That scream you heard at an Ōkami sequel was me

Grazie Ciro!

Paths are not a jagged mess anymore thanks to the ✨Path Smoothing Algorithm✨ that preserves obstacle avoidance! It is based on Chambolle–Pock Primal-Dual Algorithm

"X followed you", but with stalker vibes😂

The basic search algorithm for flight pathfinding is now implemented! I'm quite happy with the results😀 (The path still needs smoothing)

Trying out a custom implementation of Sparse Voxel Octrees for 3D pathfinding in Unity (not there yet!). Voxelization and queries seem to work as expected. I'm having more fun tweaking the colors than debugging the corner cases tho :D
