The character controller, character models and animations all look well done.
Except - the grenade throw animation.
It reminds me of a commercial

Lol - not really that bad - but compared to the other quality animations the grenade throw stands out because it isnt as polished.

Hahaha Thanks!

I like a lot the look and style of your game :slight_smile:
TPS are not new, will you bring new gameplay on your game ?
What shaders are you using ? Did you code yourself the TPS gameplay ?

Hi zenGarden,

Thanks for the feedback. We have several gameplay features and mechanics planned for the game that will seem familiar but with a few twists. As for the TPS gameplay, we’ve used several asset store products and adjusted and added code to fit our needs.

Cheers,

Fx looks pretty nice
The smoke from the barrel of the guns looked odd when reloading.
Could tell it was planer mapped particles.
I’m not sure polygonal characters are visually appealing for this type of game. Doesn’t really add to the aesthetic in any way. Why are they shaded like that?

We’ve made a ton of progress in a short time and will continue to refine and update the game. We know we have miles to go and we know the game definitely can be improved. As for aesthetic, we are not going for a realistic shooter. We are going for a more stylized look. Hope that answers your questions. Thanks for the feedback!

I dig the art style, reminds me a little of borderlands. Can I make a suggestion though? Maybe remove the crosshair from the main gui and move it out ahead of the character a bit. Attach another panel to the end of the weapon and place it there?

We are still addressing the UI at this point. We can definitely improve on it for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

The levels look nice.
What about trying to use thinner cartoon edges ? How does it looks ?

Were still adjusting that… :slight_smile:

It looks great :slight_smile:

Thanks ZenGarden. We are working hard to get this demo out…

You have no choice , game dev is only hard work :smile: , anyway you got already a strong base made the hardest part, next is new maps and polishing.

What about a second camera view at player side when he is zomming or aiming with a weapon ?

LOL! Still a ton of work to be done… Camera is something we are looking at. Thanks for the feedback!

It would be nice if we could *drive the small quads on some level parts.
Keep up the good work, you are doing great.

Nice progress.
Will you include badges ability or classes ? fast air dash for example, better armor or whatever.

We don’t plan on having character classes in the game. We will have achievements, character skins, weapon attachments and skins that you can unlock as you level up. Think of the game as a multi-player Gears/Uncharted/Call of duty hybrid with a day/night cycle.

First impression: Borderlands clone. That means it looks good! :slight_smile:

I think in your videos you should focus on showing what makes you stand out from the zillion other shooters out there. I watched one video and you seemed to be bored and were rambling about fixing bugs.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be sure to ramble less and be a little more upbeat. I’m a developer kinda new to the YouTube personality thing… :slight_smile:
