Apoplexy

APOPLEXY
New features:

• Redesigned UI

No updates otherwise. I spent most of this time on a quick refactor to make my life a bit easier, then sketching out a proper UI on paper.
This is how it turned out:

APOPLEXY PRE SHIP UPDATE
Some finishing touches on the enemy AI, they can now hear you a lot better when you shoot the shotty, and I added a little grace timer if you’re in the enemy field of view to get time to move out of the way.

The enemy AI is still far from perfect, but I thought it good enough for a PRE PRE PRE PRE PRE PRE alpha build.

:D

APOPLEXY
New features:

• Weapon swapping animation
• Shotgun reload rework
• Quick melee system (+ shotgun reload pushback and damage)
• Live noise testing for enemy AI

Updated:

• Smarter AI, react to noise and being hurt
• Platform-agnostic build system (except macOS)

I’ve now decided a bit more on the direction of this game. I want to create an atmospheric stealth first person shooter, with a big emphasis on the stealth part, and optionally a “go loud” playstyle.
Expect future updates to work towards that goal!

APOPLEXY

New features:

• Skybox
• Updated pistol model, longer reload time

Updated:

• World shader

i had a lot of fun adding the skybox, and i think the new model looks SO sick

added some proper lighting (after a struggle) and some more editor QOL. it’s all coming along very nicely, check out the video below. (also refactored weapon system for futureproofing and more)

improved the level editor with some easier controls and a new orbital camera instead of orthographic projection, and added raygui to make selections easier. also refined the movement, headbob and weapon sway!

added a crude level editor controlled with the keyboard! it loads and saves json files that you can edit and then save with f6 in game (or manually if youd like.) im very proud of this one!

video below, but i added some visual candy to the project. i like my games to feel niceeee

i added some blood particles to the blood prisms that try to kill you with a custom particle system i wrote

finally finished the muzzle flash. it was suuuch a pain but adds a lot to the feel of the gun.

added hitflash, started working on muzzle flash but disabled for now. also rethinking if the game should be black and white so its disabled for now.

i tweaked the shader some more because the other one was an unreadable mess. also added display of current position, will be useful for later! next, i want to work on more of the actual gameplay, i think this look is fine for now (maybe ill make the enemies fully white with a black outline)

I got some hit detection and crude logging up (std::cout). The game is coming along nicely, and raylib is so pleasant to work with. [NOTE: this project was started yesterday when i found out about stardance]
