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
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!
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
More asset creation. This 1907 bayonet will be at the end of our Lee Enfield rifle but also around trenches and other areas.
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.
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
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.
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.
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?
