Weekly Update #10 - The Warthog
Hey everyone! It was a busy week for development and we have some awesome things to show you all today. Development took another step into the deep pool and we’ve begun going at it much harder. We also have the brand new Warthog model and the two new grenade models to show you all!

GAME DEVELOPMENT

We normally just show off new models and concept art, but I figured we could start giving insight on what goes on behind the scenes during development in Unity. This week, the main focus was implementing the brand new HUD created by Zion (Zpp_Policeman33) and get it to work with the health bar and the ammo counter.
I also worked on getting the code for the vehicle to work with the Warthog, but was unable to complete yet. Hopefully, We can get it up and running and maybe show off some vehicle physics :)
We are soon going to begin designing large-scale and small-scale multiplayer maps. These maps will go through all the usual development phases and we’ll share everything!

Work In Progress - Small 2v2 Test Map
Here is a little sneak peak at the small 2v2 test map that we are using to test everything. This map could potentially make its way into the actual alpha playtest next year, but we cannot make an promises at this time.

Work In Progress - Gameplay
Here it is! Your first look at the first person view of the game. This is still in very early development, but we just wanted to give you all a little something. An early gift from us. The radar does not function yet, but the health bar and ammo counter is all functioning. We hope to be able to show you actual early footage very soon.

WARTHOG

We can finally show off our brand new warthog model! This model was created by Dan and it was his 2nd vehicle model ever! This vehicle can be your best friend or it can be your worst nightmare, so watch out!

M12 Warthog - Inside View
Here is your first look at the M12 Warthog for Downfall. The model is not complete yet as we still need to add the chain gun for main variant. This is the first of many warthog variants you’ll see in Downfall.

GRENADES

Over the week, Dan also created the Plasma Grenade and the classic M9 Grenade. You better watch out on the battlefield for these suckers.

Plasma Grenade - “Bet ya can’t stick it”
Here they are in all their glory. These will most likely be updated in the future as for most models we show you, but it’s never to early to show you all the things we are creating!

That’s it for this weeks update! We are getting deeper and deeper into development so stay tuned for awesome news every Tuesday!
