More Gamedev for BangBangVR

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?
