What is your favorite type of weather environment for a game? Mine has always been winter. When I was just a wee lad, I would pretend I was a video game character whenever it was snowing 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️

Haha yeah let's call it a feature. Not a bug!

Slowly been chipping away at multiplayer logic. 🎮🎮

As you can see there are some things missing. I also need to add the concept of each player having their own 'team'.

Very good point! I'll play around with the model some more. I can see how it would blend in with other units.

What do you guys think of my new tank? I tried to make it match my sci-fi theme, but grounded to reality. I still need to nail down the color patterns and add detailing.

You're the best!

I'm sure there are some limitations though. I'm hoping I can just keep what I have.

Do you happen to have the link for those? I'd like to check it out.

Personally, I spent months creating my own navigation/pathfinding system when I was using the bevy game engine. I switched to Godot and was able to have a better system in place within a week using the nav agents.

I am. I'm using Godot and using the high level Navigation API. Works pretty well!

Haha thanks! It's a Command and Conquer inspired RTS game. I'm still early in development. Follow to stay updated! 😁

I normally don't share draft art (or concept art? Whatever you call it). This is my first attempt at an infantry unit for my #rts. Not terrible, but it needs many more iterations.

Squeezing in some late night game dev on the road. Thank goodness for cruise control am I right?

Hahaha those were the days!

Local multiplayer is working! 🤯🎮🎮

I cleaned up the dynamic pathfinding a bit. Theres no lag at all even on a very large map now

It will definitely have a campaign! I don't have the slightest idea what the story will be yet. Someone told me that I should start thinking of a story, and then formulate some names based on that

yeah thats a valid point for sure. I'll try and look into it next week. I would LOVE to have multiplayer, thats for sure. I know one pitfall already I have is that I dont have any concept of 'teams' yet. Everything you see in the scene is 'your team' ATM. If that makes sense.

I haven't looked into multiplayer yet. I plan on at least looking at it and seeing how much work it would be. Ideally, I would love multiplayer. But I'm just not sure if it will be in scope or not

Hey thanks! A little bit of both, and also the Directional Light. The snowfall and rainfall are particles that just follow the camera around. The snow on the ground is a material shader, although I don't think it looks the greatest and I want to work on it a bit more

Weather patterns ❄️☀️🌧️🌇

Nailing down some environmental effects early on will help drive some of the level design.

If you have any game name ideas, let me know in the comments!

Have a sublime weekend

Unit building is now a thing! Yes, one of the most integral parts of an RTS is finally Implemented.

Thanks!!

A lot of the icons are only temporary FYI

Laying down some more ground work for the UI. The infantry/vehicles/upgrades options are locked until you build the required structures. 🔒🔓

Im just loving the look of these generators against the dark & rainy contrast. Check out the little floating embers 🔥

Base building is going to feel GOOD when I'm through with it! 🛠️🏭

8 hours dev day. Now time to go play some #TempestRising
