Hello!

Today we have been making really good progress. I finally got the sword to work with the weaponmanager. Here is a small .gif of that.

  We started work on our first actual level, using probuilder2 (free edition) but we did run into a problem with the AI not having pathfinding abilities. This will be worked out with time, also the knockback effect displayed in the .gif above needs to be fixed.

The weapon sway that I had added and loved so much has lost it's functionality for the moment, but that will be added back with time. Most of the things we have been working on we are not ready to show, so until then.

Hello everyone!

The past ten days have been very eventful. I have a very early pre-alpha of eradication working. I have spent the last week or so tweaking animations and changing textures and models from the placeholder assets that I am using. Once I have a full level created and endless spawning worked out I will release it to the public for your enjoyment! Keep in mind, I am the only developer, and this is a very early pre-alpha stage of eradication.

The unity community is a much bigger help than any Unreal community. Within the past week I have implemented weapon sway, mass amounts of variables on weapons and other objects, easy materials, and I am just now figuring out animations. The game plays smooth, and I have discovered exponential fog which gives a very dark feeling to the overall levels.

Keep in mind that unity free does not have anti aliasing (to my knowledge) or realtime lighting, so until I have the funds to buy unity pro, the game may not look and feel polished. I will try my best however to make do with what I can. Here is a screenshot of the fog effect to be placed on the first level. 

The first level will be an indoors level, so this level of fog will not hinder any gameplay experience, I can assure you of that. When the pre-alpha is released it will only have one mode, continuous spawning. You will be challenged to survive as long as you can with unlimited ammo.

Hello everyone!

I think you would be pleased to know that development has undergone complete reform on 'Eradication' and everything seems to be working back on schedule, though there have been some changes.

The biggest change is that 'Eradication' has switched from an unreal engine game to a unity3d game! Some people will find this to be a very pleasant change, considering unity is a much more refined indie development engine.

I'm sorry i have not been able to update on the development of the game recently, my internet went out around two weeks ago and we just got it back today.

In other news, I've been working with my teacher with something in photoshop script so I have been slightly neglecting the game and the unrealscript. I have though, been creating models and art assets for the game in my spare time. I will be releasing one or two of those later, 

First of all, i'm sorry for not being able to update the progress for a few days, School has just started back up and the internet has been out.

Now that I've got that out of the way, Development on the game itself is at a halt until i can upgrade my graphics card, so in the meantime I've been writing some metalcore soundtracks for the game. I've got a cheap rig going straight into cubase 5. It seems to work well for the alpha soundtracks, I'm not being too picky for the time being.

Today i worked on skinning of the first custom weapon for Eradication. It is a sword that is going to be used by one of the NPCs in the game. The final version of the game is going to have many variations of enemies and weapons to be used against you, and by you, but until then, here is a preview of that very first weapon model!

There is some quality issues to be worked on, but the diffuse mapping seems to be going very well! I am also in contact with someone to help me work out a melee system for the enemies, I will keep you guys updated over the next few days!
