Hi

Welcome to the team!

@Gyzoto

None with Godot though, so I might need some help with Godot-specific stuff here and there.

We’ll try to help. If you find some good resources / stuff that’s important to know writing those down would help future developers. We have some info on this: Thrive/doc/learning_godot.md at master · Revolutionary-Games/Thrive · GitHub

AI and procedural generation stuff, or at leasts that’s what most of my projects focused on. So if there’s anything where those skills are in need, tell me! Hope that’ll be useful for the project.

The AI code is definitely in need of some love. There’s a recent discussion about that:

Utility AI / restructuring the AI system

The AI of the microbe stage is already reaching a state where it is fun to play with and against, and it makes for quite the challenge in some instances whether you be predator or prey. However, there has been little to no talk as far as I have seen on catching current AI up with implemented features (Pilus, Colonies, New Organelles, Sessility, ETC.) nor any talk on how to future proof for future stages. I come bearing a possible solution. Utility-based AI and modular behaviors. For those who …

And here’s the AI code:

Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/src/microbe_stage/MicrobeAI.cs

Various things like non-instant turning, cell colonies, using signaling agents, are new features the AI has not been updated for, so it really needs some work done on it.
