jeubank Centurion Posts : 43 Joined: 17 JUN 2011 Status : Online	Update 0.001 (feel the progress) Kind of a quick run through. The initial Screen for the overhead map... Couple of questions. Would something like this work? They click the Laptop for the management aspects, they pull away from the laptop and goto the Overhead map, where they can give orders? (Then of course, zoom in if need be) Download Link: [link]http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P85SD4VX[/link]

Load and Options close the game and New brings me to the laptop which highlights when I mouse over but nothing after that. Is the thing on the left a model of an island?

Right - the "Thing" on the left is a model of the map - which im doing as we speak, and im laying out the Grid as well, with highlighting. this is as far as i got In Jagged Alliance 2, you just have 1 screen with a small map / a laptop button to go between the two management functions. I was thinking along the lines of a 3D interface, inside an office. What do you guys think? Preview: [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/13zpwt1.png[/IMG]

Is it supposed to be a hologram of sorts? That would open up the game to some very-near-future tech and hypothetical storyline ideas such as: *'Warfare Outsourcing LLC'* vs 'Kriegsführung Ausgliederung GMBH' : It's Just Business...** Wit Ye further, or how...? -Voluspa (Poetic Eddas)

I'll help if you should choose go that route. I suggest reading the posts from that other guy about designing your own game, lol Get the AI done first.

I'll help if you should choose go that route. I suggest reading the posts from that other guy about designing your own game, lol Get the AI done first. I have initial AI laid out. Includes Pathfinding, health checks / # of players seen / # of Player's seen "Health" (this to decide whether to run or fight, or take cover.. etc) I played around with it, with a bunch of cubes. Works decent enough for initial combat i suppose. Always tweak or rebuild it as we go However, I am not an AI guy. As this is a one man show - I hope to get help from the Wargamer community

Bookmark it and what not, however, Im just trying to get the foundation finished up, so I can work on a Tactical Map for a few days. I also have a few destructible objects, including walls, doors, windows, etc. The Windows glass breaks away based upon physics, trajectory, and force. Though i didnt write it. Someone from Unity did. Pretty nifty stuff. I hope to adapt the same logic, for Weapon damage / accuracy as well. The math looks complex, but shouldnt be to hard. Also, tommorow - cant work on it to much. Already have 2 jobs lined up, thinking a 3rd as well. however, Tommorow I'll release a more polished up version of the menu, a options screen working (cause its working now on my computer), and hopefully, some Interaction with the laptop and Map

What I really would like, is someone to point me to some data about --- the caliber of the bullet and what weapon is shooting it (For force/speed variables). If your in a plaster/wood house/hut/building.. hiding behind a window laying down... that individual should be able to shoot through that wall. Arma 2 does this.. Also, a couple of other games. Like Combat Mission (I heard). Would also like to implement this sort of feature in the future

junk2drive Centurion Posts : 986 Joined: 5 JUN 2005 Location: US, az Status : Offline	Can you give any details to gameplay? I ask because of Team Assault. I followed the website and forum as they released details. WWII squad level turn based game. Then they did an AAR. Every turn you get purchase points and buy troops to replace losses. That turned me off. Maybe if it was a fantasy game I wouldn't mind but in a somewhat historical WWII theme game, it doesn't seem right.

junk2drive Centurion Posts : 986 Joined: 5 JUN 2005 Location: US, az Status : Offline	I mentioned Team Assault and then saw this today http://www.rockpapersho...ns-interview/#more-64698 I played a lot of RTS years ago until I felt too old to keep up with real time. I then played hex or square IGOUGO games but always see the shortcomings of turn play. I then played mostly Combat Mission and Panzer Command which are WEGO. Team Assault is turn based but has some system that sounds like an initiative determination, so that you don't know which side will go first in the next turn. The link above sounds like WEGO but I haven't watched the videos yet.
