Thanks for the support so far! I'm trying to make everything look as good as I can, so it takes a long time just to make simple things. I'm also trying to be historically accurate so I've spent a lot of time researching before building.
Next up
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
