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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
Readjusting and remaking some of the mechanical animations for the Lee Enfield rifle. It's now more accurate.
