Our Great War

Testing the shooting mechanics with some target practice! The gun's animations are all setup except reloading, which sounds easy, but it's 5 or 1 bullet at a time. Be careful when you reload!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
