Looking really sweet! Any chance we'll get to see some videos of you creating art like last year? Where are the models from if I may ask? Everything seems to fit in nicely.

All of the models were from a Unity Store kit I got some time ago. So, I have been able to save a lot of time this year and really focus on the things that matter. I dont like using animated stuff that I didnt make but after last years big debocale (and have a new team) i figured the best bet was to get some prefab stuff and customize it as needed.

The makers are Bitgem (King) and M4 (Props). I have made a few of the models that we will be using but nothing too crazy. Mostly what I am doing is level design, UI, and sound. :P

As for videos, I will try to get a few of those out and in place. Sadly, if that happens it wont be till friday, sat, or sunday. Life is super busy for me these days and my wife is being ever so patient with me not spending time with her this week to be part of this! (I gave her a footrub to make up for it and she seemed to be happy about that! LMAO).

Thanks for the info :). Last year I spent like 2 days on a very simple model and a walking animation, not really worth it :P. Using assets gives you so much room to do other things that really make a difference. Looking forward to your video(s) and ofcourse your game!

All footrubs considered, it's great to have a partner who's so understanding :).

I thought I would take a moment to say that your game is drop-dead beautiful.

I'm intrigued by your "squad-leader" approach to the AI--have you noted any interesting effects resulting from it, or does it in practice look just the same as the characters having individual AIs?

Yeah, we spent a lot of time on models last year and the end result was me not having time to do the UI, Sound, and Level design. So we went with a prefab option (since I had already purchased them) and I will tweak the models as needed. I still have to make a few but yeah... mostly prefab.

Very nice mr

Thank you good sir!

Thank you! I hope that is the effect most people have when playing/seeing it

They kinda work and kinda dont. We are spending most of this afternoon fixing up the AI and getting attacking to working. Once we have that in place we will know more about how it feels! Right now there is a delay in the actions so it kinda seems like they are tarded, (and in code sense they are) but we want to get them where it looks like troops being given commands. Today will be the big day for that type of understanding.

Ah, fair enough! I hope that the AI is developing well, then! ^_^

Thanks, I hope so as well too. We are having some issues with the animations and attacking but when Shadow gets on we can figure that out. In the mean time we are working on spell casting and attacking of the NPC's. Should be a very interesting day indeed!

Thanks slicer! you are too kind!
