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.
Next up
Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
More asset creation. This 1907 bayonet will be at the end of our Lee Enfield rifle but also around trenches and other areas.
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
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.
Maybe not enough various in the death animations?
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 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.
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.
More improvements this week on level 2 of our WW1 FPS. Unfortunately, you won't get the high tech UE4 gun but instead the standard issue Lee-Enfield .303. It's coming together and we'll release a new version the new content is in and tested.
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.
