Gdevelop FREE VISUAL Game Engine: CONTRA Tutorial #05-B - Enemy Behavior AI and Animation

Welcome to the fifth entry in our Gdevelop FREE VISUAL Game Engine, where we are building a Contra's like game.

In this GDevelop tutorial, we implement the Enemy AI Behavior and Animations as to have it patrolling between two points, detect the player with a raycast, start to attack him with Rounds of Bullets fired at a certain fire rate, and finally integrating the enemy animations as to start looking at it in detail.

The video is pretty long almost an hour, but we think that it is best to keep it as it is instead of further split it in parts, as this is a unit of knowledge that can be interesting to look at a all.

There still some glitches that needs to be solved, and will probably take the beginning of the next video to address them and close them. Let us know your thoughts on it in the comments sections.

If you want to learn how to make or design games, you have come to the right place. We are taking the full process to new levels. We are checking on the mechanics that we are implemented and then testing them in the game to make sure they are working correctly. So this is a really good course to learn on how to develop games.

We will upload all the new assets to to the ITCHIO and we are thinking in opening a Github for the project, let us know which you like the most in the comments below.
