Hey again, I've returned with another devlog after 4 months! In that time I've been working on a custom pathfinding algorithm, complex behaviour trees, and my own task system for the entities in my game. Today I'll be showcasing the new behaviours as well as the very basic combat system and a few other general improvements I made. Enjoy!

Optimization Changelog:
• Moved all sprites to sprite atlases
• Added custom outlines to mostly transparent sprites
• Fixed lighting to only recalculate dynamic lights
• Changed some systems to update on a timer rather than every frame
• Fixed some issues with sprites not batching correctly
• Cached numerous expensive values that were being recalculated
