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.

More asset creation. This 1907 bayonet will be at the end of our Lee Enfield rifle but also around trenches and other areas.

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.

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

Behind the scenes look at the first person modeling and animation. While the soldier won't be seen, hands and arms (and sometimes feet) will be. So we can cull out the body in first person-only model to make it more efficient.

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.

Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.

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.

We're still working on the Gewehr 1898 German rifle: adding more detail, UV unwrapping the mesh to apply texture via a texture painting app, then baking it all into the final game asset. Since this is so close to the camera, the quality needs to be high.
