Team debriefing

"There is simply no words for how good it is to be back working on Deadlock; Vacation might be good and all but something is just off when I'm away from Interstellar Marines and thats just how it's always going to be! Right now I'm working on a few vegetation prototypes for our artificial cave systems and are also prepping my light, particle, effect commitments for next phase. |

"While the guys were away for some much needed R&R I continued down the lonesome path of network coding. It was during this period that I hit a few stumbling blocks which caused me to seek answers elsewhere. |
"Anders getting up to speed"

"Back from vacation :) I now have a working animation pipeline, pushing assets from Maya to unity with the touch of a button. Next step is to start animating and coding the animation for our new network friendly character controller". |
|

"Back from a much needed vacation, however all I recollect are rainy days. Oh well. I've spend this week cleaning up in A LOT of emails and spending time with Unity. The next couple of weeks will be used getting my hands dirty with the soundscapes of ITO Training Grounds as well as some music if I'm lucky. I have a couple of looses end, the previous music iteration initiative being one those". |

Welcome back guys, and awesome to hear you're already hard at work again! :)
And I'm sorry, but regarding your server, Auriga, making the power go, I just laughed! Can't help but think if that was the cause too when I visited you? ;)

Welcome back folks :-) Your server is likely cooperating with the aliens, who found out their plans were accidentally revealed by a group of indie developers.

It feels really good to have you guys back. I'm so much looking forward to new prototypes and all that.
Dear heks,
I would like to point your attention to this forum thread: http://www.interstellarmarines.com/forum/threads/i

My regards, Kendzi.

Concerning the marine model in the pic with Anders:
I would like to suggest having two sets of shooting animations for NPCs (and players viewed by others). For example, we've all seen games where a friendly AI is near/next to an enemy and pops the guy just like he would some far off target. To add another layer of realism, perhaps you could have a more aggressive, hunched over stance. I mean, it IS what today's elites do... Just have the aggressive animations take effect when, say, within 10 meters and within sight of an enemy.
Kosai106:

I agree with what DarkFeint said. Take a look at what DICE have done with their animations for Battlefield 3 for example. :)

@Heks that sounds interesting, could you give any more details on the networking model at this time? Are you using middleware, or just sockets? Client-side prediction? Lag compensation?
Happy coding =)
