Blaze is a retro/minimalistic styled sci-fi first person flight/shooter action game. The game can be played almost single handedly with just mouse. It's about shooting a lot of alien things (in semi-randomized missions?). The alien things are trying capture all your base, and have already captured at least half of it. You have to defend the base and capture the alien controlled areas back. Or something like that...
Trying out the new player stuff ingame.
Changed the palette into 16 shade rows, so it works with the shirt/pants stuff.. but some of these colors are just too similar, or not using the right colors from the palette. Maybe I'll just do my original idea with fewer player colors?
The first person view also shows the jet/jump pack at the top, so you know when you have it.
The minigun has a 0.6s prespin, and then fires bullets at 1200rpm. Not actually animated, but has sounds and code for that.
Up/Down looking is done with the Quake style pitching and with 5 animations/poses looking in different angles.
Also had rtlights, base texture bumpmaps and glossmode 2 turned on...
Maybe I increase the texture resolution on the gun. Might result in NPOT textures, but I'd still like to use POT. Maybe just place an NPOT into a POT, leaving some empty space in the texture?
Looks good but the texture feels way too low res, doesn't do it any justice- I'm all for lower quality and classic styled, but this might be a little over kill
i kinda like this model. how about having a lo and a hi res version along with a cvar to switch between?
