Progress Update #0003

By -
It has been quite some time since there has been an update on here. That's not to say there hasn't been any progress, there has. It is just difficult to show that progress sometimes. However, today (night) we have some progress to show.

Introducing our first custom modelled gun by yours truly:
Render of gun
Based on the XM8 prototype gun, it follows a similar curvy flow to the weapon. It is currently unnamed but will be the primary assault rifle used by the Commando class. It is an extremely simple model, rolling in at 270 tris, which is both small and sort of large at the same time, considering the main angle and view distance of the weapon from the camera however it serves its purpose.

Gun in game
For a model that was created in around 2 hours there is still room for improvement and over the next coming weeks and months when time arises it will get attention and be improved. However, it sure feels good to finally be having some of our own art going into the game and to start moving away from placeholder art.

Regards,
Garth

Logo Design

Hey Guys these are the designs we have come up with for our logo.  Let me explain the logo. Our "Group" name is SnakeBite Ink. Yes Ink is meant to have a 'k' at the end. Why you might ask. Well because the name describes the group members. Garth has snake bite piercings and i (Daniel) have a tattoo (hence the Ink with a 'k'). So yea that's how we got to the name of our "group". Now on to the logo...If you look at the coiled up snake you'll see that the shape it creates is that of an 'I'. So the snake represents snakebite and the 'i' represents ink.  So yea that's what we have so far, changes might still be made to the logo - some 3D rendering and so forth. Enjoy the rest of your day Dan out

Progress Update #0002

I know things have been quiet on this blog however, things have not been quiet in the background. I have been and still am reluctant to visually show the progress we have made, since currently we are using a lot of placeholder art simply to test out various elements of the game and the mechanics. So this post is less about showing visually what we have achieved so far and more about simply talking about it. Networking We have made many strides forward and a couple steps backwards with our networking. We got our networking to work over the internet with the usage of Unity's Master Server, which helps a lot. However, in order to get that working right we had to butcher our code a little bit which killed off local networking (it can still be done, it just uses the Master Server so it is not entirely local). Do not be alarmed as we are working to get local networking back in. We are currently working on getting the server browser up to a standard that is expected from any multip...

Monday Update #001

By -
We have decided to attempt to do bi-weekly updates, with each team member getting a day to write a post. Today is my day. So while we might have been quiet that does not mean we haven't made any progress. Over the past 2 weeks we have implemented 2D spritesheet/animation management, a Lua driven UI and most importantly basic multiplayer. We pushing to get a playable prototype to provide a base on which to work on and test ideas. With a playable prototype we will be able to better move forward with mechanic testing and so forth, this will help us avoid putting hours into attempting to perfect a mechanic only to find that it isn't fun or doesn't quite suit our situation. Depending on how things go this week, we will either have a video update at the end or some news. Regards, Garth
