Sorry it took longer than expected to get an update out to everyone. My whole game world file got messed up somehow and i had to rebuild my game world. although my code was saved so it wasn't that bad. i will back everything up from now on so this doesn't happen again. But anyways here is the update.
First HUD
Very basic HUD. plan on making this look a lot nicer in the future but for now it serves its purpose.
Improved textures
I improved the textures greatly so instead of just color we have actual good looking textures.
improved mountain/grass texture:
improved sand texture:
Trees
Honestly these trees aren't very good. getting any assets into this engine has been a real big problem for me but i think I'm finally getting it down. i will have nicer looking trees and other assets coming soon.
Cannon Ball!
This is the first projectile because it was fairly easy to make and i need it for testing purposes (mainly physics testing) it does shoot were the cross-hair is aiming so you can be accurate. This will later be replaced by actual weapons.
Whats next?
Here is a list of a few things I'm going to be working on for the next update. so stay tuned.
- Physics overhaul. i plan on implementing physics to the fullest in this game.
- Character controller. i need to make a character controller witch responds to user input such as pausing, jumping, picking up stuff, reloading, etc.
- Load more assets into the game and make the game world look more appealing.
- Working with sky textures to make a nice looking sky.
- other miscellaneous fixes and improvements to the game.
HELP WANTED
I am in need on any good modelers and/or level/world designers. i am not a good modeler at all and would really appreciate if someone would like to join this project or just donate models.
- thanks for taking your time to read this article. I hope you enjoyed it as much as i enjoyed making it for you.
As much as i would love to see this game happen i don't have anything really to offer, but then again i'll think about it. :)
Actually i could help with simple texture, but i cant be sure ill get around to it.(school leaves no time for thou to do better things with life)
Thanks for the consideration. anything helps. pm me if you want to go into more depth :)
im glad someone likes this game :)
if you want i coulld always translate stuff from english to dutch or dutch to english but i know nothing of programming
if this game becomes more popular and when i get further ino development i could definitely use that. thanks :)
don't forget to track this game to keep up to date with future updates. Also the more people that watch this game the more motivation it gives me to keep pushing forward new updatesfor you guys :p
I would love to join up with you im decent at everything tbh mainly buildings and models and design and programming im ok with. But yea this game looks nice and it would be great to see where it goes!
My game: Indiedb.com
I just took a look at your game and i must say it is pretty nice. i like the idea and concepts. your game is looking very nice. i would be interested in some collaborative work with you. i can handle most of the coding side of my game but i would appreciate some models or help with problem solving and getting certain features to work. :)
Great just pop me a message!
Hey guys i have been working hard on the physics overhaul and i have some cool stuff to show you guys :D . i haven't gotten the terrain itself to be solid yet. that's what i am working on right now but i have solid objects and some cool demonstrations to show you that i will post in the next update. you can expect an update in less than a week from now with some cool stuff.
I finally got the terrain to be solid now. yay physics! :D
