Our Pattern 1907 Bayonet which will attach to the end of our Lee Enfield rifle. This is the high poly model and it'll be reduced to a low poly model with a normal map to retain as much detail as possible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Maybe not enough various in the death animations?
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.
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.
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
