Aim ... Loose

Aug 25

Yes you guessed it . Archers are coming in hot. We have yet to fix their shooting, but will start making sneak peak soon. Some game design decisions are yet to come but for now there will be archer units/troops with the following commands

Archer specific commands :

Shoot at will (by default) - they aim and shoot (Autoshoot) at the enemy, (better the aim better chances to hit the target).
Focus Aim and shoot (more powerful shots to the area shown by the hero)

General info:
when enemy comes close, every archer will start moving away while shooting (this will make them spread and be effective. They will come back to formation after we make any moving command )
arrows stick to the ground, people and shields

Shieldwall!!

Jul 25

Game Dev Update:

Shieldwall Updates: We've introduced new animations for both defense and attack modes in the shieldwall feature, enhancing realism and responsiveness.

Targeting Improvements: Soldier targeting has been refined, improving combat accuracy and interaction. Now when they are running against a shieldwall the 2 front lines will face each other evenly and the back lines will push and wait their turn , instead of just randomly targeting shieldwall soldiers. This gives us more realistic shieldwall experience

Performance Boost: Adjustments to Level of Detail (LOD) settings have been made, enhancing overall game performance, We will be testing the visuals for this to make sure that is the optimal level.

Gameplay Trailer: We have changed our trailer and setup in progress gameplay trailer. this will be changed as we go forward and add new features. We wanted to share our ongoing available features you can enjoy it here
