It looks really good, varied environments will be a big plus. Did you say you were thinking about implementing a fog of war or line of sight? I think line of sight would definitely add to the tension, with maybe directional sounds giving you a small hint with what you'll be facing. How many different enemy types will the game start with?
This game looks promising! It is my kind of gaming. Well, I am off of some threads, so can someone say if there is going to have beta? or the game it is growing up? Best regards 4 y'll
Yes, we are working on the Fog of war. Its going to darken the corridors out of sight from the soldiers, as well as darken the bugs As for enemy type its all melee so they're all pretty much the same right now. We are working on it though Thank you, we will have more beta keys soon
"If things are too quick, then they go quick too" Keep going this awesome job and dont forget to put a price on it All efforts are needed.
Loving the constant updates! Don't burn yourself out, go outside, get a Belgian beer, or run up a hill! Or all three! Impressive so far, starting small always works so much better, you can always update, release dlc's, or sequels to improve the formula.
Thank you both! Fortunately I have a fair bit of free time so I can work hard on the game Ill be sure not to burn out though
Moderately happy with the results... A huge pain to do! I don't know what it was but all those straight lines and such. I ended up using a mouse and photoshop (compared to a cintiq and mudbox) Well its done...
Didnt get much sleep... Oh well. Heres what ive been working on Hopefully Ill get the small soldier animating when the Medium soldier is being done. Just get all the animations done in one go. Thanks everyone for seeing!
Will the levels be procedurally generated or each one created by hand? Old article, but might be useful http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131507/a_realtime_procedural_universe_.php
They are all hand crafted! Theres a lot of testing for each level. It wouldnt work if they were procedural. They would either be too easy or too hard, either way built wrong. Dont worry, Im making lots of levels! Each one goes through several stages, from design to testing. Testing, over and over. Once the level plays right the art is added, here is one of the levels
Ive decided to do something different for the Heavy soldier. Instead of building off the mesh, using the same animations and such, Im going to make them at the same time as the other soldiers. But each will have different bones and animations. This will allow a wider range of freedom with the model. Im just fleshing out the mesh right now, but im pretty tired so I may not get much more done today. Also, Im going to refer everyone to our IndieDB page. http://www.slidedb.com/games/derelict-ios
