I think FPS is becoming the new, “2D platformer with a *twist*,” of indie games (nothing wrong with that, just something I’m noticing)

I think theres still a ton more 2D platformers being actually completed and released. Its a lot harder to make an FPS feel polished and new indie devs often give up early on in the process -- but i do agree ahah

The genre started like this, arena fps, hence the old school shooters, are a clear example. In the past, fps games used to be way more dynamic, deeper and harder than today... Still, there are some active hardcore arena fps around, the most popular is quake champions, probably the hardest multiplayer game out there

The whole gravity gun arm idea is great, I highly suggest building more game mechanics on it. Would be awesome if the areas you fight in had some dynamic elements you could influence with the gravity arm, maybe let the player pull apart some props and use them as shields/weapons. Also more unique movement options would be sick, letting the player pull themself to weak enemies drones, and props sounds like a lot of fun. I have this image stuck in my head of the player grabbing metal paneling from the wall, throwing it ahead of them, and then pulling themself to it midair.

Add an additive layer to the firing animation, so the gun starts drifting from side to side. It doesnt necessarily have to add any recoil, but it would look better than just the gun going straight back and forth.

In my opinion when the weapon is taken from the enemy it switches to the pistol a bit too fast, which makes the game a bit unrealistic, and it looks a bit jittery. A fix in my opinion is to make a 5-second delay with an animation of the enemy pulling out the weapon. Also amazing job it looks great so far!

Hey Kyle, i found this channel a while back, you got amazing developing skills, so here are some suggestions for the game you're working on: Keep screenshake and recoil minimal, afterall, it's an FPS shooter, screenshake is working against you, also camera movements when doing the in-game parkour should be smoother and not affecting the position of your cursor. Since your game can be a unique concept and not just a movement shooter, i suggest you add finishers to kill off enemies low on hitpoints, you get the idea. I also suggest adding a satisfying sound to bullets when hitting npc bodies and enemies.

A point for the camera shake! Try to avoid using rotation around the forwards axis, instead use rotation around the right/left axis so the horizon stays level, this will prevent your camera shake from making people motion sick (yes, some people *are* that sensitive and will want to play your game).

Ha, that only just occurred to me! You're right, all the guns except the LMG (and the sniper rifle, but that's not in the game yet) are bullpup. Shorter weapons look better when wall running, so that's one of the driving factors there. If we add another gun to the game, maybe I'll make that bullpup too 😋

What’s your thoughts on fps arms bones having a lot of unused bones ? Does it not compute anymore resources since the animations don’t use them and there is no mesh for the unused bones? Here is why I ask, I make my own fps animations in other software, long story short I can’t delete that actual bones in that program but I can delete the mesh. Obviously I can take the rig into blender and delete bones and export out but I have like 40 fps weapons so it would be a lot more work for something I’m not sure causes any difference. For my untiy setup, in the fbx where I split off the animations, I select no “key frame reduction” as I’ve noticed it taking away important frames. Now something I noticed and might make a difference- in the animation tab if you select the object and play animation you can see all the unused bones actually have keyframes. So I’ve tried taken the fps prefab and deleted the unused bones but then when playing the first fire animation goes way off. So if the unused bones makes no difference according to untiy then I would just leave it alone

Not really, the game is still in a rough state. The AI needs a lot more attention and I would like to get some more art into the game before thinking about releasing a demo. I could release a demo soon but I feel like the feedback I would get wouldn't be valuable because the current game doesn't reflect what I want the game to be, if that makes sense. So once I feel like the game has a solid basis, I will definitely release a demo.

Hey, I know this is kinda unrelated to the video, but do you know how to sample 2D Perlin noise? I suppose you sampled 1D Perlin noise to get the smooth transitions, but this is actually the only place I could find of someone actually mentioning Perlin noise sampling. I am trying to develop a procedural map for an isometric shoot-em-up shooter, which will take place in different zones, expanding from the original one (more or less like COD zombies). I have the algorithm to build the caves, fall-off included, but have no idea how to actually connect the different zones. I tried changing the falloff map, so they would blend, but the transitions I manage to get are too harsh, so I thought about sampling Perlin noise, but actually have no idea how, so if you or anyone reading this has at least any reference to that it would be of great help.
