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.

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.

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

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.

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

Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.

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.

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.

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 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.
