I'll have more to show about the game later. I'm currently getting my finances set for buying an office space and ground and trademark my game company ' Big Brother Software ' it's fully independent self-funded game software company.
Got a little bit more work done on the game. The final gameplay aiming system is complete. Mark the target system. Shoulder cannon system game. Have to get back to work. Only able to put an hour or 2 in today. https://youtu.be/FFTg5gQQ4IM
Got the 2d system working well and figured out an aim system for 2d that is very intuitive. I'm going to move the project over to being in 2d mode until it’s complete, then add in 3d person over the shoulder. It's just more likely creating a 2d first will get done sooner. https://youtu.be/TgrLHEG_5L0
Pinned down the complete work flow with control rig. Create the pose and intended animation function in control rig itself, then send only the working point controls. Handle the control rig no differently than a bake animation in anim bp. Use the character bp to do the timing. It's very clean. My strategy is duplicated…
I went ahead put in the placeholders for weapon swap and shoulder cannon control. I have top and right face button open for melee combat. The bottom face button is jump and left face button is dash. The going idea is to string together primitive actions to make melee combos. The face buttons are to allow a sandbox melee…
I committed to a simple gameplay shooting system before moving onto all the other stuff. It's not a targeting system. Its a "aim and mark" the target gameplay system. Once the target is marked, one can pull the trigger or not. Player must mark the target in order to shoot. This should be fun enough to get me to the next…
got the animation system pinned down!!!!. Had to learn the control rig system. It's brilliant. The way I'm using it is by creating a new control rig per gameplay controller based animations. Instead of a new animation and or canned animation I just create a procedural animation with the control rig and link that into the…
next code crunch, I'll add in the rest of the 2d camera system. Extend it to do cinematic more easily and change axis placement in the environment. Char has to walk forward in certain places and the camera axis must interp to new positions. Once thats complete, E1M1 is pretty much done with all hard code stuff and the rest…
Got the system in and working. Chaos collection are currently buggy and may have to use an actor wrapper workaround to prevent crashes. Will take another solid day to put the bow tie on this system and get back to completing the game. This is the hardest system to build because it's entirely about "what is" the best…
