First pass at our main character with rigging. The rig will adhere to the UE4 mannequin skeleton so I can take advantage of marketplace animations and other assets. I'll still be doing a lot of animations though.
Next up
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.
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.
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.
I won!? Still not sure I believe it! I'm still playing on the PS1, so this will be a huge upgrade for me! Now I can't say I've haven't won anything, anymore! Thanks so much to the Game Jolt!!!!
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
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!
More asset creation. This 1907 bayonet will be at the end of our Lee Enfield rifle but also around trenches and other areas.
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.
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.
