Empires: Perfect union project (playable demo)

I plan on adding:
Infantry
Instead of defining classes, and adding more coding on top of everything else, I am just going to assign slots, this may make one configuration OP over another but it helps me minimize work. So for example:

Slot1rimary weapon: Assault rifles, shotgun, sniper rifle, SMG, grenade launcher, rocket launcher
Slot2:Secondary weapon: pistol, smg, shotgun, revovlers
slot3: Grenades, sticky grenades, sticky stun grenades, seismic grenades ,mines, flashbang
Slot4: cloaking device, engineer tool, speed upgrade, damage upgrade, accuracy upgrade.

Vehicles
-Afv/light
-Medium tank
-anti-aircraft tank
-APC
-jeep, with mounted machine gun

Aircraft
-VTOL fighter (bomber) jet, you gotta have dog fights
-Gunship
-Transport

Naval vessel
-Submarine
-Destroyer
-Patrol Boat
-Transport/carrier(maybe, really undecided if this should be a mobile spawner or not)

Buldings
-Barracks(barracks/armory)
-Aircraft factory
-Vehicle Factory
-Shipyard
-Repair pad(Modified to repair vehicles/aircraft)
-radar

Miscellaneous
-ML turret(will detect vehicles and naval vessels)
-MG turret(infantry)
-AA Turret(Will detect aircraft only.)
-Commander will get some special abilities, like cloaking the CV from detection, hacking into the enemy system, and team wide buffs like health, and damage.

Research
vehicle branch
Electrical branch
bio branch
chemistry branch
physics(minus plasma) branch

But I actually intend to break this all up and do a grid system where it is easier to mix and match the armor and weapons you want and need.

 

All sounds awesome, keep at it.

 

This looks really impressive.

I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff, but isn't Unity a 3D game engine for in-browser games? I'm nearly positive Dead Frontier uses it for their 3D gameplay. I had to download the Unity Player to play DF.

If we're getting a lighter version of Empires built to be played in the browser, this is going to fucking rock. I would consider paying a bit to support the project if the gameplay is promising.

 

Oh man submarines, this just got way more epic! It's almost like you are making a 3-dimensional advance wars.

 

Unity can do in browser games, however it can still do full fledged download games as well (it allows you to build a release version quite easily). I used it for a couple projects this year in uni and it was a blast to play around with.

On topic TLE if you ever get this done i would love to pick your brain on all the scripting you did if you'd allow me

 

Why snipers?

Why does every fricking FPS need snipers? Those maps look much bigger in comparison to empires.

 

I think I would like to help with this.

The could you pm me an email address you use regularly? I have low poly versions of nearly all the NF aircraft. I was planning on doing something like this in udk but I'd be just as happy to work with you.

EDIT: I think the ships should be no larger than this

Does Unity allow players to walk around on the deck of ships?

 

I think it can, if you use a mesh collider or something similar

Yeah Unity3d maps can be massive.

 

Ok, I put together a light carrier for the NF. The red specs are people. The plans on the back are Ravens. It would be cool to have a folding wing naval Raven with its own paint job.

Ofcourse its a low poly version.

 

Nice!

Noob question: Will this carrier be able to move with players/vehicles on it or will players have to be "seated" and vehicles locked down somehow?

If players can walk around normally while someone drives the carrier, that would fucking rock.

 

He'd have to write a script that takes the carriers movement (or lack thereof) into account when calculating the movement of the players but in theory yes they could. It all depends on how complicated he wants to make everything

 

guys look in the scripts section
there are already some people discussing about boat scripts
its just not the job of the artist to make that thing work

 

but if you could walk around oh man that would be epic. Next make B-52s that you can walk around. This Perfect Union thing is awesome really can't wait for a playable demo.

 

Except this thread isn't about Empires Source, it's about this Unity project in which the main developer is Coding, Modelling and everything else in-between. So it's a fair question aimed at the right people. Maybe not Megel, but Elitist at least, seeing as he's coding AND modelling.

 

I'm doing the modeling now :-)

 

Ok, rough NF Destroyer

 

I want to apologize for the earlier NF Aircraft Carrier, is this one any better?
