Game design

OUTDADED:

4-6 guns, with 1 magazine per gun. Optics can be left out Can only be found in the world Always have a starting pistol available Inventory system + Looting system Boxes all around the map with guns, equipment, ammo.

A mix between a battle royale and an extraction looter shooter: All players spawn like an extraction looter shooter, to get out they have to extract, but the map contains loot like a battle royale.

Make sure guns are usable with iron sights.

Multiplayer

TODOs:

• Detach player rotation from character model
  • Weapon Sway
    • Check sensitivity settings, as in other pc with high dpi mouse weapon sways too quickly.
  • Fixing leaning
    • Snap back leaning too quick
    • Issue with moving around quickly
  • Bring Crouching back
• Inspect animation & state (procedural)
  • Attachment editor system when in inspect mode
  • remove Start and End optic from Slots, instead make one slot, and have code that checks for the starter slot and the end slot
  • SightSlot not retaining position when dropped or switched.
• High Ready & Low Ready system with state
  • High ready animation (procedural)
  • Low ready animation (procedural)
• EventCollision system that takes into account more than one type of collider.
  • Auto Low ready when gun collider hits object OR when player starts sprinting
  • (Not a priority) Collision with wall and attempting to Aim can look very twitchy, maybe add a cooldown of 0.1-0.4s on each change from low ready to high ready
  • Gun colliding with bullet, making it lower on every shot fired.
• Optics
  • All optics implementing a fn/trait that gives a specific gun offset to use the optic correctly
  • Find some way to implement a shader for the optics (AFTER IMPLEMENTING NEW BULLET SYSTEM)
  • Optic glass material
  • Reticle render
  • Reticle adjustment while on the field
  • Parallax effect on reticle
• Weapon Clipping
  • Make the player's collider bigger towards the front
  • Make the weapon's collider cover the firing point
  • If possible, create a new gun pose, like pushed back
• Bobbing
  • Gun Bob on run
  • Gun Bob on walk
  • Check if Bobbing could be too exagerated
  • Leaning neutralizes Bobbing for some reason
• Reload animation (procedural)
  • Real world magazines
• Rewriting bullet physics to use raycasts & kinematic rigidbodies (logic controlled)
• Create a Controls struct that holds mappings to all the game keys and replace them in all the game's code
• Gun dropping drops on only one side of player
• Gun dropping does not apply impulse for some reason...
• Gun colliding with ground and going into low ready
• With introduction of floor collision groups now bullets go through floors
• Huge bug all attachments get despawned and spawned when gun shoots
• Bloom on bullets is making them way too bright, bring down the emissive mat color & size of the bullets.
• Red dot sight needs to be zeroed. (Height over bore)
• Red dot on sight is too quick on a trackpad.
  • Red dot is automatically going up to max when shift is pressed for the first time.
• Multiplayer
  • Start work on a multiplayer server
• Map
  • Start building a map for your hideout
• Player model hitbox
  • Organs
    • Heart
    • Brain

Design

• Detach player rotation from character model Don't parent the hands to the camera Make the hands move to the camera with a delay + lerp On player movement: WASD -> Translate player parent objetc, everything else follows Mouse movements -> Rotate camera (on all axises) + Player Character (Not parent object) on only the horizontal axis (Z I think) What moves first is the camera, then the entire body moves with a lerp
