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

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.

Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

First pass at the German Mauser 1898, one of the common rifles used early in World War 1. This is a step towards creating our German soldier. We have the AI, now part of the rifle. Next will be modeling and animating the soldier.

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.

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.
