Hi everyone!
https://abload.de/img/blok2badcj.jpg
We’ve been working on a new game in the line-battle genre, aiming to recreate large scale battles during the US Revolutionary War. We wanted to try and go for a very high player count, so we were really excited about the release of 4.20 with its enhanced networking capabilities.
So far our experience with Unreal Engine has been extremely positive, I think it’s a testament that every animation and the associated animation blueprints were done by me, and I’m a C++ programmer with no previous experience in animation or anything art-related! Once I got started it was actually really easy to pick up, so kudos to Epic for making it so accessible.
Info
- PC (Steam)
- Massive online battles during the age of muskets (we’re aiming for 200-400 players in a single server with the 4.20 networking capabilities)
- Multiple classes, including line infantry, cavalry, artillery and musicians
- Spatialized voice chat, to assist officers in directing their men
- A suite of external tools to help you organise events and manage your regiments with calendars and leaderboards
- Customisable game rules and win conditions (via server-side scripts) to create custom scenarios in case you want to recreate specific battles
- Social features such as hunting and camp life, so you can enjoy some down time with your friends before or after a battle
We just launched our Kickstarter, and below is our trailer.
