The Witcher 3<\/em> is one of my favorite games to have come out in recent times. You won’t be surprised then to hear me say that my excitement towards the prospect of playing an Omnified<\/a> version has increased with every new Omnified system I’ve implemented into it. Previously, we implemented the damage overhauling Apocalypse system<\/a>; today, we implement the enemy speed boosting Predator system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I should no longer be surprised when a new game throws unexpected things my way, The Witcher 3<\/em> managed to throw me off balance (for just a few microseconds, mind you) with the manner in which creature locomotion is organized and managed. Despite this, implementation of the Predator system into the game was a relatively painless affair, and I will try<\/em> to be brief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, a detailed design article providing an overview of the Predator system has not yet been published. I could swear I added an todo item to write such an article on my little todo app that resides on my phone, but I suppose it’s been buried by other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all those unversed in Omnispeak<\/em>, the Predator system is a game-neutral overhaul to the game’s movement system that provides enemies with an intelligent speed boost based on their proximity to the player. Basically, it causes enemies to scare the crap out of me as they zoom in and end my existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no design article exists yet, here’s a nice video for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
