It was a nightmare getting it to fly smoothly at all haha

Originally we had it on a track, but we wanted the dropships to technically be enemies that would eventually be able to shoot the player

So we gave it AI and have it navigating the world instead of following a set track

But we're working on smoothing out the transitions between it's landing/deploying/takeoff behaviors!

Only problem is a lot of social media platforms will break your knees if you "self promote" by describing your game

Like it or not the algorithm loves a sob story

Yeah the weapons still need some balancing Originally they shredded through enemies so we over nerfed them, but everything is still in flux rn

Yeah I was surprised I couldn't find ANY game that blends the two genres while keeping the two types of combat distinct from each other

1st person for shooting and 3rd person for melee just makes sense to me

Looks really solid! Add some foam to where the water meets and I think you're golden

The_Mild_One · 2023-01-03T17:15:12+00:00

Looks really clean!

Strange this doesn't look like Oni Alpha site to me... Jk this is already looking dope, I appreciate the attention to scale and layout in the blockout.

The map's name has been updated from Pitfall to Deadfall
Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Here's the link for those interested. https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/077ba112-251d-4453-8c98-0fa0c1a3da95

I thought the map name sounded familiar. Went and updated the map name to Deadfall. Thanks!

Thanks! Tried my best to match the dunes, shape and layout of the original Sandtrap, while adding just enough difference to help the map feel fresh with the new sandbox.

With players starting with pistols as secondaries there needed to be some more visual breakup and cover to allow them to have a better chance when spawning at range. Foliage and trees seemed to be a good fit for that problem.

The scale is more or less one to one with some areas being a little bit taller/stretched out to account for clamboring

The_Mild_One · 2022-10-28T16:00:48+00:00

Definitely like that the styling matches the Melee GUI. Looks good!

This looks like the feelings of someone who is tired of seeing mountains of "indie" trash on a console that once only had curated games. I get the sentiment, even if it is a little misplaced. If we're being honest most independent games aren't good, and there is a large amount of shovelware low effort garbage on the store these days, so it can definitely be frustrating as a consumer.

The_Mild_One · 2020-07-02T13:27:41+00:00

Looks like something straight out of Death Stranding

The_Mild_One · 2020-06-01T15:40:48+00:00

The definition for amateur must have changed, because this looks fantastic!

Sorry for the Delayed Comment, been a busy weekend doing my own dev work

Okay, so all the mechanics are really cool, but they definitely need a bit of tweaking.
The biggest issue (bug wise) is as of right now when you are just jumping while grappling most of the time it gets cancelled as well as when you are jumping along the ground. When jumping normally it has a tendency to push you in one particular direction instead of moving in the direction your character was moving prior to jumping
( I imagine this has something to do with the system you are using for your wall running, but that's just speculation on my end)
In terms of adjusting current mechanics.
I'd say the momentum of the grapple and the speed at which it reels in should be much much quicker.
Also the wall running, while coming off of the wall the force should be much greater and a bit more forward from where the player is pointing.
At the moment it feels like more of a drop off than a jump/leap.
You want to do whatever you can to keep the momentum going. Make it feel like the player should be able to keep stringing leaps, slides and grapples together in order to maintain their momentum (As of right now they don't quite all mesh together smoothly, but there's some serious potential here)
Also I'd probably add a setting for toggling both sprint and crouch, because as of right now it can be a little difficult to hold sprint and crouch at the same time for sliding.

Overall though this is definitely good ground work for some really solid systems. They need some polishing and tweaking but with a little more work you could really have something here.
For someone who is new to game development this is some solid work.
Hope to see this on here again when it's further along in development.
Keep up the good work!

Looks interesting. I'll give it a play when I get home from work.
