Suggestions for leveling up/incrementing enemy behavior.

Possible improvements with 8 extra weeks
In my top down game my enemies use a grid system to follow the player and avoid objects. However, while my enemy is chasing the player the way the enemy is facing is very choppy (it glitches between 2-3 different angles). How can I make it so that the enemy smoothly looks toward the. This way the BattleRegion won’t be visible in-game. Beating up on defenseless enemies is fun, but our game needs more than glorified punching bags to be interesting. At the very least, we should give them the ability to hit us back. For our AI, we’re going to use another Finite State Machine. We implemented an enemy AI with pathfinding. The enemy comes with a pathfinder component for chasing player or traveling to a random destination. The enemy changes between walk and rest states based on fixed time schedule. The player detection runs with highest priority, and will change the enemy state to attack when the player is in.
Game Maker 8 Enemy Ai Gameplay
A more 'engine-like' design:
The current build is still more 'game-like' instead of 'engine-like'. But, most of the game is coded as we are using an engine, which makes the update a easier task. For example, all sprite loading and resource configurations are written in Config.hpp, with strict formats. Also, all the game objects, including player and enemy, can be easily updated with new sprites, attributes and behaviors (like collider). (2 week)
Add A better GUI system, the engine could looked more like an application build that support a relatively complete development work. This could support managing game objects as in a file system, managing resources like sprite and configuring tile palette. (2 week)
More script supporting:
Create more possibilities for other users to write all kinds of scripts changing the game state. For example, be able to specify game ending by writing purely in scripts. (2 weeks)
Support game progress editing:
Allow player to control the engine behavior, like switching between scenes, to support game start/end coding.(1 week)
Support more text and image editing:

So that users could drop more textx/images and even buttons to create their own menus. (1 week)
