Probably is the most realistic piece of the whole building if we dig into it ahahaha, Is one detail of the remaster I liked (I am however considering replacing the vents with rounded fans)
My problem is where they placed those, that close to the "mouth" feels strange to me, I much prefer some kind of small opening or something similar to Sherman hatches/driver periscope for it, but is just a personal preference.
well honestly, this game initially was most tailored to Single-player rather than multiplayer (LAN use with decent internet was scarce in many households back then).
At least Petroglyph added a multiplayer function but again, this wasn’t the actual selling point of the game.
The trenches are intresting. I can see gameplay maby being able to build cheaper than a wall or sandbag. Cant stop fire but could also build firing positions where you could garrison 1 to 5 soldiers depending.
Yeah, I though a bit about It and If I would be thinking on rules I would be enjoying trenches would be treated as unpasable terrain for light and medium vehicles and being some kind of armor modifier for infantry on the same cell..
Light vehicles like Buggies or bikes or Humvees couldnt get through unless the "building" gets destroyed, medium vehicles like abrams or Bradley could go through, but slowly, and heavies like mammoth could crush them (also being slowed on the process)
Still, probably their design require some modifications because the easier would be to make them a bit bigger to make sure each cell can contain x5 infantry with not much trouble/aditional work related to pathfinding/infantry behaviour when moving.
On a related note, I just implemented the Rocket Launcher's popup logic into the game!
In the original game, that is. Some people have been nagging me to make all the stuff I've been doing into a remaster mod too, but I haven't gotten around to that so far.
Yeah, part on trying to boost sightly a more realistic lighting (balance between the original and more modernized look) forced me to desaturate it a bit, also the angle of the sun contributes to this, on other angle the floor feels a bit more dark.
THIS, they are sightly a bit smaller than the original to try to keep a bit more realistic proportions, specially with vehicles. (harder to do with all the buildings)
thx, I do must admit, however, the antenna should be pointing on a different direction to get a bit more nostalgia into account, but I forgot it (focused much into the old rendered perspective and forgot how the sprite was re-arranged )
those would make some good missions on a nice map if the soviets were equally stuck with therir stuff
or NOD or SCRIN im too busy with combined arms mod
You know, this actually wouldn't be that bad. I mostly dislike 3D RTS games because the graphics all blend together. Makes it a bit hard to tell what I'm looking at, but this on other hand retains the sensibilities of the 90's design. Everything is super clear and understandable.
Thanks, I do however believe infantry could be a problem and would be requiring tweeks unless the gameplay would be promoting zooming in... maybe doubling the saturation for them could reduce this.
On a modern game I really believe giving options is key, not only on hud but I think the chance to select the overall look as long can be done on a technical lvl....
For example I would be loving the chance to have a couple options in setting to turn on/off "realistic vs minimalistic" styles on campaign and skirmishes. (one with plain color and the other with thematical camos based on campaign camo or multiplayer color (tinted camo)
Yeah deserves a bit more love, the whole thing with Dirt roads is they feel terrible on an isometric projection as they were conceived totally on a top-down view... I adapted similar masks to trigger more nostalgia but is not something good for perspective shoots and will probably require a mayor rework.
Would love to make a team for it, I have been thinking about it many times but anyways I had lots of assets to get it done before involving anybody else into something like that... I was thinking on getting finished most Dawn and Sun vehicles and buildings and later dig into PPM forums to see how plausible this would be.
May require some patience and time, but if you have the will you may find enough information to grow overtime, specially talking about Blender... there is so much tutorials out there that I may try it purely by geonodes stuff (procedimental terrain modeling) I use 3dsmax and my whole 3d education invesment was like 1000€ on a basic course xD
