Starting to populate our initial level with objects after gray boxing. Attempting to keep the final file size down, we'll try to reuse textures. This texture will get used a lot since a lot of items are made of wood or we can use it as cracked mud.
Next up
Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
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.
More asset creation. This 1907 bayonet will be at the end of our Lee Enfield rifle but also around trenches and other areas.
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.
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.
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!
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
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.
