Great stuff, keep it up… I already told you my critics in game :smile: :smile: :smile:

3

You were right ,no way could i play the high quility one :(.I tried to get the same arab city into unity Tiled 4 times.3 was the maximum i could get.I hope you carry on with this i want to see how it comes out.

This is strange, I have basically the same setup as you Granada and I have a solid 60-61 fps on the high quality one.

5

good job on this so far keep it up ^^ it would be cool if someone took a 3rd person shooter like this made it a bit scifi and added large humanoid mechs and vehicles to pilot.

6

Watching better I think the sky is a bit too dark and saturated with colour.

7

Agreed, we have yet to apply our own skyboxes so noted in our ticket system megmaltese, thanks!

8

Anyway, as I told you in game, lighting and gfx not bad at all :wink:

9

Just tried again on high quality,ran like a dream.Must have been a glitch :face_with_spiral_eyes:.

Sweet! Thanks for the update dave.

11

lol i’ve just been kicking someones ass on here, great game although it could use a little polish here and there

12

Thank you for trying out our game! :slight_smile: And the polish you mentioned is currently being worked on! I’ve been hard at work getting this to be more presentable, i’ll be uploading a new version soon with lots of bug fixes / changes that are needed. I’ll be updating the first post with any new info.

13

awsome game, worked really smooth and everything.
played some with the developer and had a chat with him. but the chat stoped working so i had to refresh the page and restart for it to work again.

14

Thanks for the reply tuckdragon, I was just made aware of this chat issue. Looking into it now :slight_smile:

15

you need to add like an invisable wall around the map, found ways to get over the wall and fall of.
you also need to fix so that the red dot is centerd while aiming with the sniper.
and somtimes when i reload the sniper i manage to get 38 bullets in a mag. :slight_smile:

Very impressive work, I like the recoil feel and the blur shaders. Only played for 10-15 minutes, but I guess the only critical thing was that I got stuck in respawn at high altitude, or some kind of instagib loop. Resolved itself after a few deaths though. The lack of weapon switch animations was notable.

Anywho, for two people working a few months, it’s very impressive. I wish you the best of luck with this!

17

Thanks tuckgragon and Fidde! I’m making a list of tickets for the project right now over these glitches and more. Updates to most of these little glitches should be resolved soon.

I’m liking it so far, but there are problems.
#1 Camera doesn’t collide with objects, so you can see through walls. Just create a raycast from the player transform to the camera position, and move the camera to the collision position.
#2 Gun doesn’t always point down range when shooting. Click really fast once and you’ll see what I mean.
#3 Red dot reticle appears when scoped giving you two hit locations. I’m sure this is a simple drawing bug.
#4 When near death (at least by exploding barrels) there is a border of clear on the top and right side of the screen (like 10pixels on each) instead of being red like the rest of the screen.
#5 When jumping, if you jump really fast after landing you’ll jump again, but the animation is either the running or standing animation that you would do if landed. Perhaps have a default animation if not grounded?

And I have a suggestion. Add in some windy dust particles. That would add to the atmosphere a lot. Also, I think the soldiers may be a tad to tall. As well, I’d suggest moving the recoil back down a bit after shooting when scoped. It’s practically impossible to shoot at someone more then once without rescopoing as is.

I played in the “Extreme” graphics one, at around 60FPS, which went down to 40 when recording in fraps. I have all of the bugs mentioned above on video or screenshots if you’d like to see it. My system specs are in the signature. I’m good at breaking things/finding bugs, and this seems like it could be a great game, so keep me updated as you get further.

One last note, I did this without being able to test against another player. I no one joined, there were no servers listed, and no one joined my game, so it’s all tested without others. There could be more bugs when shooting people and the like.

Great list Caliber Mengsk, #3 and #4 should now be resolved. We were trying to allow dynamic changes to the width and height of the player for our approved facebook app version. So looks like we will just have to stick with a 750x550 size.

Making tickets for the rest of your findings right now :slight_smile:

Thanks everyone for this awesome support!

Great looking game, the first thing I noticed that the player is way to big!
