These pads are where health pickups spawn and where players can stand to receive passively recharged health points. Probably will go with version 1.2
The central pump will slowly give defending player's resources in the form of energy. This sheet is an attempt at narrowing down what that will look like. In practice these function as flags in a normal CTF mode but appearing up to 10 at a time, so visually they need to be restrained. Currently leaning towards 1.3, 3.3, 8.2, 8.3
Some modified skins for our starting character whipped up by Dillon!
The central pumping station is an industrial island that player bases are arrayed around at the start of the match. Pipe geometry will extend out and little hologram drones will hover above the player's base that is currently receiving energy.
These are our first round of concepts for potential platforms that players can select to build their base upon. At game start, all 4 player's platforms come to dock on a central platform (not shown) and the battle takes place from there.
These were sketched up in Procreate and colored in Photoshop using Astropad to get some quick values in.
A big goal of ours for these weapons was to create something that was 80% plausible and 20% pure fantasy. In this way, all the weapons have proper alignments in regards to ammo feeding and ejecting however the reciprocating actions on top and moving magazines and magazine wells are purely there as juice for animation.
The SMG's secondary is a fairly slow moving missile that can help the player zone enemies at medium range or to blast down a few walls when need be.
The Shotgun allows players to do great alpha damage at close range while the secondary railgun is good for landing medium to long range skill shots or temporarily punching through multiple walls.
It has been awhile, but over the past few months, we have been hard at work refactoring our game from a very very rough prototype to a very rough MVP.
Part of that shift took some focus off of the art pipeline as we worked on dev with placeholders. But now, after a long hiatus we have wrapped up work on our default weapons - starting with the rifle!
Next up, modeling, animation, texturing and integration into Unreal!
