Gun Game

I am testing out a movement system for a shooter. This is like the 7th or so version of this system, and I know that the environment isnt the best to show it off, but I really like where it is at. I have had problems keeping it simple but this time it really is solid.

My plans going forward are to add in shooting first, but then move on to advanced gear and ability stats. A huge inspiration for this project is all the cool stuff I want to see in a game like Destiny. And the biggest point of that is to play into the hardcore power fantasy, but not sacrifice the challenge it takes to reach that point.

0.0.1 - Movement | This is just a basic test of the movement I want going forward. The main point of it was to test if it could detect ground and walls separately and reliably. From what I can see, this is going to work really well going forward and I don't need to tune 20 or so variables to keep it working. I will try to add more to the system, like slide jumping and a better way of building up speed.

0.0.2 - Aim Assist | This is the other part of the game that I wanted to get simple and robust because it is going to dramatically impact the feel of the game. What I have works, but I will be tuning the strength of different parts of it. Also, I did not get to adding aim assist while the player is moving, and I think that is going to make a big difference as well.

0.0.3 - Item System | This week was mostly spent getting familiar with blender and setting up a workflow to design my own assets for the game. Much of what I did was personal practice, so it didn't make it into the game. However, I am now pretty comfortable modeling, rigging, animating, and texturing my own assets. I also fully implemented the item and inventory system. I am going to gloss over 90% of the details here, but in short it functions like most videogame inventory systems. So far I haven't been able to break it, and it should be easy for me to expand on it in future.
