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
Working on the targeting control, to make it a bit more random and chaotic for battle. Yellow lines are for debugging.
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.
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.
Testing out the new targeting system. Enemy soldiers on the front line are most vulnerable to getting hit.
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.
Without any AI implemented yet, the opponent just stands there and gets shot. Working on that next!
I won!? Still not sure I believe it! I'm still playing on the PS1, so this will be a huge upgrade for me! Now I can't say I've haven't won anything, anymore! Thanks so much to the Game Jolt!!!!
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 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.
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.
