https://youtu.be/Z9ZDtqA9Cqo Got the biggest forms of the level blockout done. That is major landmarks, boundaries, and space for all of the major engagements to happen. Now I am beginning to go into each of the major "zones" and refine a bit further. I am not developing a modular kit yet because the type of architecture…
Athenian soldier and hoplite have enough animations to be playable. Now headshots and shields matter. If you headshot guys with a helmet it knocks them on ass and does small amount of damage, but doesn't do bleed damage. But in the second they are down you have opportunity to shoot their body or get away.…
I'm still not finished with my current game project, but I took a break from it for nearly two months to prototype some ideas for next project. The main problem I want to get around is that there is too much work for a solo developer. How can I make smaller games? But it still has to be something I want to play and am…
Still grinding out the blockout. Working on second to last area. Workflow Very glad I chose to do this in maya because I've made a few major overhauls and it has been painless to do so. Level is starting to come together nicely - it plays decently and each area has a distinct look. I am sure it will evolve considerably but…
A couple new buildings and also made a few materials for colored walls. got a little more than half of the buildings done. this is just the main architecture of them so they still feel pretty barren when you go inside. props and unique stuff i'll have to do in another pass. This is very tedious work so once i finish the…
Short update just since it has been awhile: I moved most of the major classes in the game to c++ so that it is easier to refactor into the future. I still prefer blueprints for speed but if you want to do something like move a bunch of delegates to a separate class it is a big problem to do that in blueprint. It took a…
@iam717 thanks for feedback! that dive animation is still using my initial "just get it working" attempt. should be able to get it looking better with another go at it in future(hopefully). main thing is that i want it to feel like a hail-mary, "i dont want to get shot today" combat dive, and not an overly-choreographed…
I enjoyed it all, i am not like others with these sexiest situations, it is what it is, but i guess to be more along the lines of "decency", i suppose i can see someone somewhere having an issue with it, i thought it was hardly noticeable. The drop kick would be cool to see ass some sort of random attack? rng based. I…
Okay last time I posted my next plan on the agenda was to start refining the level geometry. However, I realized that I didn't feel confident enough about some of the gameplay to be ready to commit to making art. The ranged vs ranged combat I felt was pretty solid, but fighting pure melee enemies left a bit to be desired.…
@Bolovorix thanks! @Fabi_G , thanks! I hadn't considered player placed traps, but I have sketched out some ideas for environmental traps. I was thinking that some enemies might not be possible to defeat directly with your firepower, but have to be lured. Regarding visual design, I took a look at Ashen and thats definitely…
