KOTC MP Survivor RPG V007 – YouTube
Well its been a little while due to a ton of changes with work, taking some classes and changing jobs along with rethinking how I want to create the server client
setup of my ongoing multiplayer role playing survivor game.
This is the newest version Ive been working on for a bit. I originally had game setup for a host/client setup but changed it to a dedicated server setup. The main reason
is to make updates easier and so I can run the server and connect the client seperately along with keeping all the main game running code on the server.
I basically just restarted the game from scratch and am using previous versions to add features. I did go through each model and cleaned things up, lowered
the number of triangles on most of them and added some animations to the player model, including jump, and a few death animations. I changed the material used
on the items to only use a universal material with a color texture to keep things simple for now. A trick I got from Imphenizias low poly tutorials.
The main idea I am having now is to get the server to the point where I can run it constantly, play on it as a client as I add new features and ultimately allow
other people to play on it during a beta testing process.
As of now, I got the new models loaded in, the new player animations working and the database updated with the new model information. I slowly will be adding
in the features I had working from the previous versions while trying to clean up some of the coding structure and methods.
In the next version I will be working on enabling the player to pick up items, show those items in the inventory window and use default actions on items like
chests to show the open or close animations.
Stay tuned! As I make progress, the videos and updates should be coming more frequently
