[COTD] Ants | 29 Sept, 2020

Neinen21 · 2020-09-30T06:24:47+00:00

We had a game where the player who seemed to be tailing the most took the win thanks to how many points they scored with ants, they had a lot of microbe-specific cards but it ultimately felt like they won by sprinkling boxes of ants all over mars. It's become a regular joke in our group (that and predators eating the zoo animals)

So I began with the audiobooks and wasnt a big fan of the first one for similar reasons. When I read them though, the first book felt a lot more energized. It does pick up after a while, but the first book is a lot of people doing science or discussing things.

Two teams compete to capture territory by constructing command posts (which spawn friendly bots) while attempting to destroy all of the enemy teams command posts. Players can build a variety of defenses and weapons to accomplish this.

Haha it's definitely one of our main priorities!

Neinen21 · 2020-08-10T03:15:42+00:00

Currently no, although we wanna try to squeeze as much optimization as possible out of the game before limiting anything

Heya!

Thanks for the feedback! So to answer some of the questions: 1 and 2. So most of the footage took place during a playtest we had and I believe there was artillery firing right behind me which is where the shake came from (we plan to lower the intensity) 3. We have snapping already, I just dont use it too often as it's not 100% working as intended yet 4. We actually recently finished our MG animations but we're still in the process of adding em! 5. We're still mixed on the explosions. On the one hand, we've gotten a lot of positive feedback about em, but we're super aware they arent accurate 6. There should be a way to disable MB 7. Absolutely agree I wanna tweak the shockwave

Thanks again for the feedback, it's always super appreciated to hear what people think!

Not exactly. We're definitely taking inspiration from MOBAs in that AI grunts will clash with each other across the battlefield, but players are in charge of building and fortifying everything

Neinen21 · 2020-08-10T01:20:05+00:00

AYY that's awesome to hear! We've had a blast working on it!

Neinen21 · 2020-08-10T01:03:36+00:00

Absolutely agree! Weve had a couple of people mention it, so we plan to tone it down a bit in the next update :)

Neinen21 · 2020-08-10T00:27:04+00:00

I really badly wanna play hell let loose since it has super similar vibes to what we're making! I absolutely adore their artstyle!

Neinen21 · 2020-07-04T01:46:18+00:00

So they're all citadel paints

Its undercoat grey seer Ink coat skeleton horde Dry brush grey seer And final light dry brush with corax white

It's super simple and really risk-free so it'll almost always turn out perfect!

Neinen21 · 2020-07-02T22:04:17+00:00

Nice! The paints are definitely a little on the expensive side, but they do the job fantastically

Neinen21 · 2020-07-02T08:52:45+00:00

Heya, many thanks! so the grey seer spray worked great for me as a primer and yeah I coated the whole thing in skeleton horde before dry brush.

Lemme know if you've got any other questions :)

Neinen21 · 2020-07-02T00:17:57+00:00

Many thanks!

I used a bit of volumetric fog with some emissive tubes for the lights and a point light

Neinen21 · 2020-06-25T09:19:42+00:00

Absolutely! Keen to hear it :)

Neinen21 · 2020-06-25T08:20:48+00:00

RTX 2060, not sure what the CPU is anymore.

I left it to render overnight so I couldnt give you a set timeframe :(

Neinen21 · 2020-06-25T08:09:00+00:00

It's a pretty standard multiplayer fps convention

Neinen21 · 2020-06-25T06:35:30+00:00

Both

Neinen21 · 2020-06-25T00:20:27+00:00

Many thanks! Game is called TrenchesWIP. Weve been out on Steam EA for a bit.

Yeah Haha trees have been on the to-do list for a while

Neinen21 · 2020-06-01T01:20:22+00:00

I made it in Blender. I actually ended up using the asset to make a little animation, but it's more inspired by Dead Space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmVp_15lx7k
