I think it looks good just a little bit to open, maybe try adding more mines to fit the vi- feel? That would close off some open spaces and help aesthetically!!

Agree. The current layout reminds me a bit like battlefield which caters to larger scale fights. For an arcade shooter something a bit more cramped feels much better

Just by chance. Do you have a demo/Prerelease trial?

that looks awesome, my suggestion is that, maybe you should make more attachments to the gun, or entire new gun cores, and maybe objectives and game modes would be cool. A mode I came up with is a team deathmatch where you start off with the bare gun and a few points to spend on attachments to add on the gun, and you gain points from getting kills and passively, and dying make you lose points.

dude your simplistic models and textures are amazing, my tip to make them all 1000% better is to add a good stylized outline shader and some good lighting. keep up the great work, cant wait to see the next devlog and actually play the game when it releases

It would be very interesting if you added different ammunition types. From the Depths has a pretty in depth munition editor. A few more games i thought had interesting mechanics were CoD Advanced Warfare and Loadout. Advanced warfare had somewhat customizable killstreaks, which i think the concept could be applied to things like deployable turrets or air support. Loadout had an interesting deployable turret; the turret would use a copy of whatever weapon you were holding when you placed it. This lead to interesting strategies of setting up healing rocket turrets or even sniper turrets. These two concepts would be very fun if combined. For example being able to customize a turret to be remote controlled, automated, on treads, quad copter flying, or even being able to direct where it aims and fires. Combine everything I’ve said in this comment could lead to players calling smoke mortar strikes from their turrets or locking down areas with turrets set to shoot down incoming rockets.

This looks incredible! Looking forward to getting into more of the gun building aspects.

I think what would look really good in this setting is like a hand drill grip, but the mag is the battery and it has a overheating mechanic where you can overheat and you get buffed fire for like a half second, depending on the gun, so a sniper would shoot harder, or an smg would shoot faster, a shotgun could fire double bullets, idk

I can recommend texture atlases. Drawing one set of bricks next to each other and align the UV accordingly, so you don't have to repaint everything when creating a new piece containing bricks

Thats some fast development. Cheers mate!

Cool project man. If you're worried about grass effecting performance, take a look into GPU Instancing tools. I went down the grass rabbit hole and tried about a dozen different approaches. With GPU Instancing I have massive island covered in grass with excellent performance.

gunbuilding is a cool concept

Really nice visuals. Love the style of the character models and their cartoon hands. Could see this doing really well if the theme/story is more deeply fleshed out to compliment it and feed into each other. That is assuming the gameplay mechanics are great as well. They always come first, but the stylized stuff is usually what sticks in the mind as long as the gameplay is solid enough. Like imagine a backyard neighborhood kids/ed, edd, and eddie style air soft, paint ball, or what ever your going between neighborhood of kids, or even more crazy and pick another setting like what if they had these types of hobby sports in a cyber punk, space colony, or what ever other setting. Just hope it doesn't keep to JUST another random gun game like the style on steam suggests. Can already see tons of potential from the art style alone, but you give it a nice setting to compliment it and it will be even more identifiable/memorable. Maybe I am crazy and over hyped with that brief inspiration lol... I got hit with inspiration when I seen the first person perspective hands and other aspects. You got something there that kinda really clicks. It may be the hand especially. Maybe it would be fine, but...idk...The potentiallllll...... xD

I think it looks really good! (Hopefully I can play on mac lol) some advice though - I’d try making different aiming crosshares - for example, guns with spread have a wider retical, and and guns with a tighter spread having a retinal that’s more compact. here’s some examples: Wider spread (shotgun build): ( • ) smaller spread (smg , sniper, ar, etc): - • -

I’d like to see some Unreal Tournament style maps. That sort of raw early 2000s multiplayer game map

Really nice art. Only suggestion would be to add some variation to the terrain; it seems really flat and open. I understand this is all prototyping and elevation can take some planning. I suggest watching break downs on tf2 and cs maps to understand how map pacing works and to help you put together levels that serve a purpose to your gameplay - rather than just placing assets haphazardly. You’re doing great, can’t wait for the next update.

Hopefully this doesn't bait you with scope creep, but building armor would be super cool and help add some unique elements to the game in that dance with the gun balancing aspect. Maybe you can add some specific armor pieces that slow you down but make you sturdier, or increase your blast resistance but no effect to your bullet resistance, or energy weapons vs bullet weapons? Just some cool ideas! Really awesome job with this, the style looks great.

not sure if this was mentioned in a previous devlog but what gamemode are you trying to go for? i feel like that can have a lot of impact on creating maps. If you plan on going for a deathmatch or teamdeatch match style you'd have to think about respawn points and sightlines. In case you want to go for any other gamemodes for example objective based ones like CTF or king of the hill that has to be thought about when making new map (now that you have your assets and style it should be easier to create new maps no?). Maybe you already thought of all that. Anyways good luck with the Process. looks very Promising so far
