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
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.
First pass at the German Mauser 1898, one of the common rifles used early in World War 1. This is a step towards creating our German soldier. We have the AI, now part of the rifle. Next will be modeling and animating the soldier.
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!
Debug lines! Testing firing-ranges and damage fall off from distance, as well as targeting various groups of enemies with a bit of chaos mixed in.
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.
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.
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.
