Previously on BangBangVR: https://blog.thecell.eu/blog/2018/07/29/some-gamedev-progress-on-a-little-project/ And here is an update on the sideproject. Lets look at the previous Todo list:
- Working Canon
- impact size
- Ground Texture Shader (Blending)
- Ground Texture Shader (display impact)
- Figuring Multiplayer?
And that’s about it for things I’ve done when I’ve given an outlook on it. But wait, there’s more.
I created 2 Input elements for the command console. A launch button still missing and adaptation for the steam vr controllers. But this should be less work than before.
I felt like the loop shoot a cannon, adjust, shoot again is a bit too short. Therefore I took my balista controll script from Battosai VR and reimplemented it in this game to controll a flak cannon. The goal is to have something defensive to try and shoot enemy bombs down before they hit the player. In the meantime I implemented a clay pigeon thrower and clay pigeons (clay discs really). Here are some impressions from that:
Before gathering infos for this post I felt like I haven’t progressed much but seeing the progress since last post encouraged me quite a bit. Bad thing first: University (well school for applied science really) will start again in 13 days and I have to bring the htc vive back soon after. I still have a lot left to do, the list changed and grew a bit:
- working cannon
- Ground Texture Shader (display impact)
- optimize impact deform performance
- optimize impact size
- ground texture blend for big hills
- Figuring Multiplayer?
