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
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.
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
