Humble little Hinder getting love? That almost never happens! You make a good case for it on a Tormentor though.
The AI is pretty good at handling "hey, this character isn't a fighter, don't move them close." Still struggles with hybrids, because it's much more difficult to read player intent with those. That was the one bit I underestimated when originally planning out Demon's AI: how important (and how difficult) it sometimes can be to figure out what the player is trying to do with a thing, short of letting them directly tell you (but that creates one hell of an input burden, you're basically down to the player taking all the AI's turns!)
on the Polar Rush escape. Though your Hob doesn't likely agree, it seems a pretty smart move to me.
A dream of the future! How strange... but perhaps of a future parallel universe, where I somehow had animations in this thing. But yes, the Matter build will be soon now. I hope to knock out many of the needed sprites this weekend. Next week's going to be heavy at work, but I should have a nice clear spell after that to finish things up in.
Thanks for the report
