Experimental game

Things to finish:

- New Movement System

• Rotations and transforms are based on animations

• Camera is a child of the head

• Figure out how rotation up and down will work, maybe dividing upper and lower body animations

• Shuffling feet when rotating

• Jump not multiplied by deltatime causing super jumps on low fps

• Perfect movement

• Equipping items

• Replace items in the same slot, drop them

• When equipping an item that replaces another item because of the slot, throw item towards front of player with a specific impulse

• Gun aiming and noscope is not the same position

• Controls being bindable

• Gun moving out of the way on a collision

• Gun moving when walking, when running, aimed in.

• Visual effects for camera

• Persistent magazine data

• Perfectly center interact clue text on screen

• Fix: No Sprinting while aiming

• FIX: Gun spawning way in front of player

• Player is rotating on an axis that it shouldn't

• Fix: Make gun have more priority in rendering. So it doesn't clip through walls

• Feature: Give a (sensor) collider to the gun and when it collides with something make it move out of the way.

• Feature: Add bullet holes

• Fix: Movement is clunky and very linear. Add some sort of Lerping for acceleration vectors.

• Feature: Muzzle flashes for shots

• Feature: Bullets (projectile)

• Feature: Add smooth camera movement to camera on crouch. Right now it's too fast and looks arcade af. - Feature: Add jump effect to camera

• Feature: Add Stamina (with bar?)

• Feature: Subtle Headbob, FOV change on movement (Distinguish between sprinting and walking).

• Feature: Basic ESC UI, FPS counter

• Feature: Gun sprinting animations, high ready, low ready, etc...

• Discussion: PvP vs PvE PVP. ARENA STYLE.

• Discussion: Realism vs arcade Arcade deisgn. Realism mechanics.

• Discussion: Gameplay loop

• Discussion: Is this a survival game? A Shooter? A Sandbox? All? End goal is all. But at first this should be a sandbox where you spawn with a gun.

Focus:

Making a game that you can leverage when you realize what's possible and what's not. Movement system, gun handling, shooting, modding, inventory, hitreg, etc...

Build a realistic fps sandbox with arcadey mechanics, and start to document it, get funding, invest in better animations, and add multiplayer.

MVP to start documenting progress:

• Shooting bullets.
• A manequinn that registers hits in every hitbox.
• A shooting range/place to be in and show process
• Some resemblance of UI (Escape menu, stamina bar, etc...)
• Stamina system

End goal landmarks

• Dynamic hitboxes (heart, brain, lungs)
• Health system with blodloss instead of a health number
• Dynamic lighting (Gunshots causing light to be spawned for a duration)
• Sound system
• Adrenaline system
