1.9 + 1.8 Inventory, UI, AI, and Rare Vendors

1.9 AI and Rare Vendors

Enemy AI

1. Enemies display different behaviors in regards to how they engage the player

   • Lowly guards will still try to get right up in the player's face

   • Combat proficient enemies will strafe around the player in a circle

   • Sharpshooters and "meaty" enemies will hang back and shoot from afar

2. There will be more to come

Rare Vendors

1. Instead of just vending machines, dungeons may now spawn "rare vendors" that may sell you higher tier items.

   • Some vendors will have discounts

   • Some vendors may not be selling anything at all

Dungeon Generation Improvements

1. Higher and higher dungeon restart counts will cause the dungeon layout to become simpler, eventually becoming a "one giant oblong room" dungeon level
