Soldier Of Update - Enemies Are People Too!
Hey. Sorry about not posting here more, but it's a bit difficult to keep up updating different places. Anyway, here's a little bit of an update for Soldier Of.
Today, I worked on getting some enemy AI finished. So far, they can follow you around, fire at you when close, and be 'idling', where they don't know where you are until you approach them. This'll allow you to choose whether you want to engage the enemies or simply sneak by them.
The cubes you see in the screenshot is their target, essentially. It 'rubber-bands' toward their target, which would be the Player, usually. A ray is cast from the enemies to those cubes to check to see if they see any 'good' guys there - if so, they fire. This is done so that they're not constantly firing. :p
In addition, I can change the code just a bit to fire at anything rather than just good characters, which would be good for robotic or turret enemies (fire at the player, regardless of who's in the way).
One thing that I would like to work on is the expansiveness and general feel of the world - I want it to really feel like a city. I'd also like for there to be side-quests and other things to do than just explore.
For example, this is a spot in the bank where the vault door is locked. In order to gain access to the inside of the vault, you'll need to get the access code from upstairs, which might be heavily guarded. You won't need the item in the vault - it'll be completely up to you as to if you choose to get it.
I want to add a lot of little things like that that you take notice of and continue on. Then, later, you find what you could use to get past that barrier and get what's inside. Of course, this will take a lot of different items that you can find, but hopefully, it'll be worth it. :)
Anyway, that's all for today. Thanks for reading!

Sparky Devlog #2 - A Dog and His Isotopes
Hey. So, here's another development log video for Sparky. This one shows a bit of the BGM, as well as the implemented GUI and better art.
So far, I've been just working on this one simple level that pretty much will just be testing out everything - I might include it in the released game, but I'll probably put more thought into the other levels. In fact, once I've got enough elements, I'll probably redo this one to make it have a real flow about it, and be themed (not just with every element in the game). :)
Anyway, thanks for watching this! I appreciate it.

Soldier Of - Keep Going!
Hey. Sorry for the lack of updates these past couple of weeks. I've been pretty busy and haven't felt like working on this much, but I'm still messing around with it.
I'm tweaking and fixing up the game a bit; just some small stuff. Right now, I'm thinking about implementing a little more interaction with water. It's very static currently - you're just 'in' it. At the very least, I would like to add in a splash when you jump in or out of the water, and play a different walking sound if you're in the water. Perhaps you shouldn't be able to use your gun in the water, or maybe the range will just be exceptionally short... That might be an interesting mechanic (flooding areas with turret enemies, for example, to make previously impassable areas accessible).
A little more polish, and I think I might release a demo. The only thing I'm worried about is security. You see, Soldier Of is being made in the Blender Game Engine, which is a great engine. However, packing the game in with an executable would mean that the game's source would be officially GPL-licensed, which would mean that I would have to release the source. This wouldn't be bad if I planned on releasing the source, but if I wanted the game to be closed-source (which I do), then this option isn't valid.
The other option is to package the game separate from the player and encrypt and decrypt it, which would be fine, but I'm sure that anyone smart enough could just decrypt it (it's not like it's impossible). I guess I'm going to have to figure it out... In any case, I'll have to have something worth looking at soon for others to enjoy. Thanks for reading!
