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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Maybe not enough various in the death animations?

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.

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