Welcome to this week's blurb!

A huge highlight of this week,Toriel, Social Media Manager for the Brickadia community, finished a staggering recreation of part of the underground from the hit indie game, Undertale! This recreation goes from the start of the game down to the outside of in-game Toriel's home, let's take a look at some pictures of the build! (And credit goes to Toriel, Snails, Raelthyk, Biotracks, renaissance, + other friends of Toriel (y'all know who you probably are)):

You have no idea how much snail puns I had to wade through in this build:

You think you'd survive, but I tend to find that I immediately gib upon landing on the floor:

Now we arrive at this week's user column!

Each week I will be asking members of the Brickadia community a question relevant to Brickadia at the moment, whether that be in regard to development, speculation, or even just hopes and desires surrounding the game itself.

Auto Bridge:

This auto bridge may seem gimmicky, but it reveals some important info about some definite abilities of behaviours, specifically, player position tracking.

Accidental Sentient Brick:

Sentient brick is another one that instantly had my gears turning as to some functional implications. In this video, we see that the brick just won't get deleted, moving out of the way whenever the player tries to hammer it. This is interesting for two reasons:

First, this means bricks know if they are being looked at. Second, it means that bricks also know what item the player is holding. Based on the video, it seems the brick only moves when highlighted with the hammer.

Based on these two, it is showing a lot of the power that behaviours have to query information about players. Position, sightline, held items, etc... Based on the direction behaviours seems to be going, I don't think any player information is off the table. Maybe even some stealth minigames could utilize player speed, or crouch state, to determine if certain actions would cause the player to be detected. There is a lot to speculate about that direction, but the thing I really want to focus on is having bot behaviours (AI functionality) perhaps sooner than we all expected?

Wormy:

The final video I want to re-share is this one of the little wormy, worming around with behaviours. Even if the animations are simple, little hover or bounce animations could really bring brick characters to life. The biggest spot of speculation here I would say, is whether or not behaviours can control physics objects positions and forces. I don't really see why behaviour functionality would stop at this point, so I'm going to go ahead and predict that by the time EA rolls around, we could have some unmanned drones to fight, maybe even some brick zombies depending on how creative we get. We can even have great horror villains such as slenderman, that can make you funky when lookin at em (or like, endermen from minecraft behaviour).

Anyway, that is all for this week's speculation! Hope everyone is getting primed to throw down some people-chasing prefabs that follow people around when they aren't looking. Keep brickin' on!
