Hey!
Its been a while and it's going to be a while more unfortunally. BUT DEVELOPMENT WILL EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE IN TWO MONTHS TIME! :D

News are i've been busy with life things, amonst them is my drivers license permit to which i had to pass a theoretical exam in which you could only get 3/30 questions wrong, more and you would fail and would have to pay alot of money to try again (because Portugal). I PASSED! :D Now the easy part, ZE DRIVING!

But I haven't been idle on CP, sometimes I model things, amongst them are these two wonderfull machines which i tried to texture decently to give you an idea of the look i'm looking for! 

To the left we have an Stronk Sowiet Ural 4320 truck for mass transport of stalinium which is used to make the even Stronker tank on the right, the T-44 Medium Tank! :D

The tracks may "look" 3d but actually they are texture! I'm using a method for animating tracks similar (if not equal to) WarThunder's method for example. 

Anyhow, one might ask, what are these going to be used for!?!?!
Well the tank...tanking obviously, but that will come later, i made it because I unlocked the T-44 in WT and I was in love with it!

The Ural has a more special purpose. When the time comes I will program the part that lets you get in and out of vehicles by approaching them and pressing E for example. Unity speaking: First Person Controller and colision boxes.

Then I will install a simple driving script with animated wheels and other cool stuff...well...driving xD
And THEN I will implement a few models which i'm working on of....drum roll please....HOUSES, MAPS , SCHOOLS, BARNS, HANGARS, FIRE STATIONS, BARRACKS, and alot of other cool Sh*t! :D 

Will implement it all into unity for a small little town next to an airbase, which you can explore! This will be the placeholder for a VERY small part of the map, this is when I plan to release a Demo. After this being acomplished I will work on shooting, inventory and vehicle combat. After that its onto Steam Early Acess hopefully.

Now here is the more personal part:

You may and with very good reason ask: Odin's Beard Stryker! Why in the Hel will you go to steam Early Acess and not just make the game!!??!?!

For several reasons! Mostly financial, but the three biggest reasons are to prove myself that I can and WILL make a living out of this, second reason is to pay for Uni (important) and third reason is to buy myself a car! This obviously is the last and least important reason but its more really a "why not?" :) So there you have it.

Stay tuned for more (check in a week or two) Take care! :D 

The King Tiger

Robots, mechs, tanks, big tanks, even bigger tanks. Of course I'm including my personal favourite! :D

A little feedback on current state.

I'm just going to let you know that the game's progress will be VERY VERY slugish. Atm you have at your disposal a few demo's of those, the ones i'm going to use are the Car and the Motorcycle, tanks still do need improvement. But I digress... The reason to why the progress is going to be slow is simple:

Finals/Exams. I have to focus more on those that on my game (unfortunally you need those to be someone....because Portugal). After I'm through with the massive rectal pain of studying 3 years worth of mathematics knowledge to write a tiny percentage of said knowledge on a piece of paper.

After said exams I'm going to focus, for the following months, 250% of my mind onto this and try to push it towards somthing I would have fun playing. That means implementing basic Mechanics [of which the only one you see are car mechanics (the moving part)].Besides I'm actually learning a big part of what's to come in university, i'm going to try to get a Bachelours or probably a masters in Computer Engineering!
2 Weeks after learning C# I had made motorcycles, tanks and cars. (well...partially working +1 week if you count the red car, which I so thoughfully named Hyperion[the big one with 6 wheels being called the Hyperion (P) for prottype)]. Next on my list is not going to be much sadly, for time does not allow it.

-Tanks(excluding shooting[maybe])
-Walking around and getting in/out of vehicles.

After the exams the list is pretty much going to grow and the development process is going to be faster than a french tank reversing for retreat.
I'l leave you a little sneak peak on something I'm working on. PS: I figured out the tracks and found myself a new Wallpaper.

-Stryker :D

What's coming

Besides what you see above (yes fully animated and automated on engine RPM) I'm working on better physics and a few nifty additions to the car.

So here's the To-Do list:

Steering with mouse(when holding Mouse1, else you can steer with A/D).

Animated Steering wheel.

RPM Gauge.

Speed Gauge (sorry imperialists, this one is going to be metric)

Hood Scoop with belt and scoop door animations(not to mention a little Mad Max like effect for air going in.)

Better looking car.

Get in and get out. (including walking around and entering/exiting vehicles)

Hmmm...this is underlined. MUST BE IMPORTANT

Placing Vehicle Development on Standby

This is the big one, I'm ONLY going to focus on the Player itself. It will take time.
(Making the tank took me around 12 hours (learning + actual making)).
Wish me luck!
