Description

Task: Enemy Reactions Feature: #217 Enemies: Darkness, Reactions, and AI

We will add multiple enemy reactions to:

• Create a more "Juicy" game, i.e. more responsive to the players actions and environment.
• Give feedback to the player, e.g. enemy flashes red when hit
• Add to the horror themes, e.g. displaying glowing eyes when enemy in darkness.

The following enemy reactions will be added to the game:

• Visual and audible feedback when the enemy is hit
• Visual feedback when the enemy is critically wounded
• Visual feedback when the enemy is in darkness
• Visual and audible feedback when the enemy is dead
• Audible feedback if enemy is near player
• Audible feedback when the enemy attacks/shoots

Hey @Bluehalomango, we were thinking of giving enemies a chance to drop items when killed (particular the larger harder enemies). Are there particular items you would prefer them to drop (or not drop)?

They can drop either coins or rocks. There shouldn't really be anything else. I think we have a few different coins assets that can be used for it, getting enemies to drop stuff was actually an extra we were considering last sprint but decided to skip it. I'll see if we have anything locally that we didn't end up using that we can give you later but I doubt it.

Ok great, that sounds good. We will probably see if we can have a different amount of gold drop per enemy then, for example, the little enemies might drop 1-2 gold, where the big one might drop 2-7 gold.
