Before and after adding in the environmental assets. It greatly added to my executable size but I'll trim it down as much as I can, but I think the added size is worth it. Especially since we'll be reusing all of these through the first part of the game.
Next up
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
Lots of technical difficulties are popping up, from dead computers to engine crashes. But we're still making progress! Here's a sneak peak at one of the latest levels being developed.
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.
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.
Animated with the Lee-Enfield rifle. Almost ready to put this into the game so we can remove the default hand. It's not 100% but beats the robot hand. Let me know what you think!
Need to add a bit more variation in my death animations since they just fall forward or backward. Death isn't this neat and tidy.
Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
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.
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.
