Trivia
- The AI used for the Beetle is based relativily simple, rotating when colliding with geometry such as walls, and adjusting it's altitude when nearby to slanted surfaces.
- Not every AI is perfect, and that includes this one. When not flying around the Beetle can be seen stuck in the roof of the main pavilion in Forest, and hitting off geometry in both the Stump and the entrance leading to City.
- The Beetle's actual name is "Doug", this name was originally determined by the game's community, however it has now been confirmed as in the A2 Discord (As of 7/12/2023) which is for Another Axiom's second Virtual Reality based project, one of the emojis that the server offers is an image of Doug with the name "dougbug"
- Currently, the Beetle can only interact in Forest, Basement, and parts of City. When being brought to another map or outside of any of the "allowed" maps, the Beetle will be respawned outside of the pavilion in Forest.
