Cooldown and Charge Fire Meters Progress Update #2

2.14.22

Pass 1 - Charge/Fire & Cooldown Systems Side by Side

"Bullets"...such a human concept. An AI wouldn't dare waste its time!

Its functional for now but bugs and whatnot to work out! I do like having to charge up from equip though rather than being full. Pre-charge storage upgrades perhaps?

2.11.22

Reworked Rocket Launcher Physics & FX

2.10.22

Scalable surface hit effects are in plus new Bot Sounds

Finally! Scalable surface hit effects are in. e.g. Various Metal Surfaces, Ground, all have different fx/sfx... Also...new bot sounds in an attempt to not have annoying sound design. It's harder than it sounds. Pun intended.

Scalable surface hit effects are in plus new Bot Sounds

Unbelievably happy with how this is turning out so far in its conversion to 3D.

Radial Falloff Damage Display for Multiple Targets

Figured out the maths for radial falloff damage for multiple targets AND have it display independently for each target in the blast range.

Stats Refactoring - Now Tied to Resource Qualities

Reminder NO stat is static. Refactoring update: Stats now ties to resource stats. DPS, Fire Rate & Accuracy conversions are much tighter now.

Cinematic closeup 4k texture test (WIP)

Getting sidetracked with cinematic testing in UE5 during a 4k texture test render.

1.12.22

Updated Tank Chassis

Latest sketches of the Tank Chassis. 2x arm slot on each arm, 4x center mass, along with back slots for defense. A ton of flexibility for load-out variation but you probably won't be getting this behemoth off the ground.

..or can you?!

1.11.22

Orbital Strike #Test 4

Improved sfx, decals, collisions...and Chaos Destruction.

1.9.22

Introducing updated streamlined chassis! Sleek and more agile!

Working with johnnyscribbes on latest design for the next playable chassis we are introducing. 7 total attachment slots with retractable #hoverjets on sides.

Legs now have 2 joints allowing full IK range motion, something our test chassis was sorely lacking!
