Army Men - a 3do fangame!

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#28

I mean yeah, that would be the process.

IF you do get a C&D or something, you would change the name and models that look too much like it and everything and there you go

#29

Well i guess, that nobody could tell something abotut the models, if he made them himself… I mean, they are only Human-Like Models with a green Texture on them.
I mean, look at the models in current FPS-Games, they all look the same :smiley:

Update :slight_smile:

  • You can change graphics settings without leaving the game (does not yet work for textures)

Other stuff:
I found the voice actor that worked on the original Army Men I game. He’s agreed to help out with the game!

Here’s a screenshot of what I’ve been working on today :slight_smile:

I’ve also begun making a frame-interpolation system for the player animations. I’ll get that finished and release the next demo :slight_smile:

#32

Nice work but why there are foods in the scene? Is pretty weird. However [icode] continue [/icode] working, it will be a nice game. Work, work, work! :wink:

Yes I sayed Work five times in a post, is my new record. ;D 8)

#33

There is food in the scene, because this is a kitchen design I started :slight_smile:

Here’s another screenshot depicting a new color change for the soldier:

I’m not quite sure which one I should go with. I personally like the darker one. Thoughts?

#34

I personally dont like the darker one :-\

#35

definitely the darker one, I played with those toys a lot as a child and its more like it, the bright green looks like nuclear man

#36

I agree with @Cero, the darker one looks more like the real toys, as much as i remember.

#37

My artist made some neat-o pickup crates!

I’ve changed the player color slightly. It is a little less blue, and little more green; still however, it is a darker shade :slight_smile:

#38

It looks great, but before downloading, I’d like to know whether you’ve fixed the OS X bug, just because the download is large for me.

#39

I haven’t confirmed if it works on macos yet. Most likely it has the same error as before.

My artist made a bunch more kitchen stuff today. Brand new textures, and a counter model. I decided to release the progress so far :slight_smile:

The animation smoothing is still a little… dodgy…

Enjoy :slight_smile:

#40

I noticed that I had the wrong spawn location set. I have updated the file with the proper location.

I had the chance to test it on my MAC; I opened it directly from double clicking the jar. It ran perfectly fine :slight_smile:

#41

Downloading it right now. Will let you know of the results.

#42

Well, unfortunately, it’s not playable for me. First I found a bug when I input my name. Every character is inputted twice. Then the game is utter slow, only giving 1fps for me, but on windows it plays at constant 60fps.

Any Ideas?

#43

Very odd… Does it yield the same result when run via console?
I’m getting a solid 60 fps/tickrate on my macbook pro.

#44

It ran at 17 fps from the console. First time, it showed this exception:

Second time, I ran it, but configured every option to LOW, and it ran at 17fps.

Sorry for the late reply! Been quite busy lately, and haven’t had a lot of time to work on my Java projects :slight_smile:

I talked to TheAgentD about the performance. Your card is one of the weakest cards that can run the rendering engine (even my laptop GPU is better). So as far as I know, there’s not much I can do at the moment.
