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!
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
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.
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
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.
More asset creation. This 1907 bayonet will be at the end of our Lee Enfield rifle but also around trenches and other areas.
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.
Maybe not enough various in the death animations?
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!
