BRAVE - London 3

by Andy Hawkins · 04/21/2008 (8:40 am) · 10 comments

Here's my latest progress on London. I'm still struggling with the scene management, but while I try to solve that I moved on with getting the weapon system going and including some bad guys.

Below are snaps from the game in action with one Saucer spawning landers and another one crash landed. No lighting, smoke or debris yet - but I will be iterating all the time on the world building.

The reticles are a modification of the GuiReticleCtrl which allows you to specify a third type of recticle using a bitmap. It allows you to set a target reticle and a lock reticle as well - but I'm still debugging that one before I give it back to the public. See here if you can help...

Thanks guys and yes Martin, totally Independence Day :) If I can emulate some of the action in that movie I'll be very happy.

I hope it's better than the Independence Day game though :D

Once again I've got to say it looks like you're doing a great job with BRAVE. Best of luck getting it all pulled together. Independence Day+Defender definitely sounds like fun to me.

@Michael - it does doesn't it? I want a mix between Independence Day, Defender and Star Wars (the vector game) - light and fluffy and fun. I hope I get it done :)
