Windows version of Our Great War is now out!
Trying to build a game with no budget sometimes has it's drawbacks. But where there's a will... In keeping with my weekly update schedule, there's some more goodies in Boot Camp and more is being worked on!
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.
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.
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.
Maybe not enough various in the death animations?
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 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.
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.
Optimizing the first level so it can be played on slower computers but still enjoy the realism that's been put into this project. It's easy to be inefficient, so it's time to optimize.
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!!!!
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.
