The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 4. I've started with the C++ FPS template and started ripping out all the non-essentials and only committing to source control, what is necessary. Since already have our gun, it's a lot of fun already!
Next up
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.
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!
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.
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
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.
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.
Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
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.
