Mechanics whys its not that much

Cover, Climbing and Exp with leveling.

The hardest overall mechanics is going to be climbing, but thats not even that difficult cause its just Collision detection.

 

Graphically its going to be interesting. (i'm not claiming to be making Crysis 3 level of graphics and i dont plan to)

 

The hardest overall thing to get working is going to be Server connection and player volume.

However during testing its going to be Pier to Pier connection, then when the full version roles out i will be getting a server up and running.

 

Map Scale whys UE4 has a Active loading system thats only about 20 or so lines of C++.

I plan on doing the game scale based on districts though.

 

Also the Pet system isnt that hard, Basic programming to tell the AI to Follow the Player with Min-Max range.

 

I would like to note, i do Run tests and to allot of research before posting possible updates.

I was talking about creating all of the assets for it more than anything.

After looking around at existing projects i would say games like: Assassins Creed, The Division, Runescape, Maybe Watch Dogs and maybe Destiny.

 

Saying that, i dont consider them Competition, Not that i'm scared of them, but Fallen is going to be its own entity.

I was thinking in terms of setting, not so much in gameplay. From what I've heard the gameplay will be very different from Defiance. 

 

Well, nothing exists in a vacuum. You need to take inspiration from somewhere. It's the way you combine your inspirations that make a unique game.

I'm playing around with the setting, but my plan currently feels sound, i think you will enjoy playing it.

This Wiki attracted me :P https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Interfaces_in_UE4_C%2B%2B

 

 

This tutorial enables you to have a custom event like TheSunReachedHighNoon, and have a bunch of actors respond to this event differently, each with their own implementation of the event.

So flowers could override TheSunReachedHighNoon to open blossoms completely,

frogs could use override TheSunReachedHighNoon to hide under rocks

etc etc

I know stuff about designing things for games, but I have no idea how I would actually build a game. What does it mean, powered by Nvidia?

I assume PhysX support. 

Thought: How would you go about adding Mantle to it? I assume you can't without being taught or given the correct tools.

Currently, Anything UE4 can do, i can do.

I have a full license and to my knowledge, no Mantle support as of yet.

 

And yes i mean Fallen with have Advanced PhysX Support.

Got a few things on the go at the moment

- Running a test version of Blender to support UE4 better.

- Reworking the base character a little.

- Learning UE4 features. (New animation system, Materials system, Blueprints, Coding and linking controls to functions)

- Testing Features in UE4.

- Researching possible features. (Documentation/Tutorials & guides)

- Working on Concept art.

- Aswell as working on "Tangiers".

 

once i get the basic functions together (Player in the game, Moving around (Walking, Jogging and sprinting), Jumping, Crouching) i will be releasing a Video, then i will start working on the more advanced features.

Currently the largest bulk of  work is the animations (They take allot of time to get right).

 

I'm hoping to have the video by next sunday (Give or take)

I'll be honest, back when this thread was first started, I was skeptical. I figured at some point, you would disappear and the game would be forgotten. 

But no. You have kept at this. Even alone. Good job. :D I'm getting more excited as time passes. Can't wait to see what is in store.

Luckely I always remember people by their screen name. Otherwise I would probably get very confused on this forum, or I would just meet new people all the time.
