Color ++
3D, FPS, team oriented, paintball game. The objective of the game is to gain dominance in the world (by painting opponents to your own color).
Goal
- World: Loading Level : Load collision information along with the level; i.e. lets say there is a building with multiple rooms in it. The player should not be allowed to walk through the walls.
- Player:
- Camera: Player can move around in: (can be toggled)
- First Person Mode
- Third Person Mode
- Action: Player can fire paintballs at other NPC ( I am not planning to make it a multiplayer game). One thing I want to get done with is; only a part of the other player gets colored when shot upon; instead of coloring the whole player mesh.
- NPC: Very simple AI (a shoot on sight action)
- Team play: Again, this is an AI thing.
- Camera: Player can move around in: (can be toggled)
- HUD: Gameplay / Game States and Menu system
- Game win/loose condition in place.
Current State
Current Objective : Setup Camera / rendering geometry framework
Archived Objectives :
