Our Great War

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Maybe not enough various in the death animations?

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

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.

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.

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

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.
