Today, I focused on implementing the initial stages of the animation and AI subsystems, as well as enhancements to the water rendering pipeline. These components are critical for enhancing the game’s dynamic interactions and visual fidelity.

Animation System: Implemented foundational structures for anim_blend. This allows for smooth transitions between different animations, improving character movement fluidity.Entity System: Completed the entity module, enabling proper management of game objects, including their lifecycle and state management, which is essential for gameplay.AI Module: Introduced the pathfind function, allowing entities to navigate the game world effectively. This is a crucial step towards integrating more complex AI behaviors.Water Rendering: Established the water_pass, implementing the water rendering pipeline. This includes setting up reflection and refraction capabilities using a dedicated reflection camera (water_reflcam), enhancing visual realism.Water Effects: Started work on water_wave and water_foam, which will simulate surface interactions and enhance the dynamic appearance of water bodies.AI Updates: Added ai_tick, which will manage updates to AI behaviors each frame, ensuring responsive and engaging NPC interactions.
Current progress includes foundational setups for both animation and AI systems, alongside initial water rendering capabilities. The next logical step involves refining the AI behaviors and continuing the development of the water effects to enhance environmental interactions.
