The old program is unfortunately long lost, and I deleted the textures and such, leaving only this screenshot as proof this test project existed.

This was my project learning how to do simple programming in a first person shooter. The enemy is a skeleton I pulled from the internet, the rest of the visuals I whipped up quickly. It wasn’t about havingt great visuals, this was closer to trying to make a greybox to learn programming. I made this project with the goal of having simple enemy interactions and working health.

Thanks to my inability to program I ended up with a player character that could be killed, but the enemy did not have working health. The bullets of the gun were actual projectiles and with some settings actually interacted with the skeleton and pushed it back. The final state was a skeleton that was smart enough to chase the player if the player appeared in the field of view, and attack the player if close enough. The player had infinite full auto fire that could push the skeleton back without killing it.

    I love the deogen. I was just playing phasmophobia last night and encountered one or two of them. I love that it flips the game on its head. Quite literally every other ghost wants you to hide somewhere, usually in a tight spot like a locker or behind a cabinet so the ghost can never get line of sight on you. But for the deogen that’s the exact opposite of what you should be doing, and if you don’t know that or don’t know it’s a deogen before it hunts, you’re screwed. Nothing gets my heart pumping like hearing a ghost rapidly running towards my exact location like Usain Bolt as I realize what it is and desperately try to escape my hiding place before it traps me.

    Fun thing about the deogen is that it’s the second fastest ghost in the entire game, and then it slows down to be the slowest ghost when it’s extremely close to you. So you can’t safely hide anywhere, no matter how far away from it you are. By the time it’s near you, the deogen becomes slow enough to out-walk, but if you manage to back yourself into a corner? Good luck.
