Testing enemy AI is complex and visual debugging and feedback is an integral step to figure out what's going on in real time. Thanks to our AI programmer James on getting the enemy AI in.

Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.

Our Brotherly War is an action strategy game where you move your armies around the United States and engage in real-time battles with infantry, cavalry and cannons.

Casualties are permanent, resources are scarce, and the battles are uncertain.

Revamped the targeting system to be more chaotic, like battles tend to be.

There was a bug where, if the unit was coming from the flank, only the one corner solder would be targeted, essentially getting all the bullets.

Optimizing the first level so it can be played on slower computers but still enjoy the realism that's been put into this project. It's easy to be inefficient, so it's time to optimize.

Maybe not enough various in the death animations?

Testing out some battle tactics. I should introduce some randomness and skills so this doesn't happen in an actual game.

Making things more realistic is just making it more chaotic and less perfect.

Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.

Idle animation is almost done. I made the bones visible so you can see how each one has to move in a particular way to make the whole body move. We then blend these animations in with other ones, such as walk/run, look up and more.

Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
