Closed Beta: Update #49

ADDED:


AI can now build AT guns, the last kind of buildable static weapon. Crosshair now changes based on wether or not you are using bombs/rockets when flying a plane. Added a small aim dot for when the marker wheel is open. Should make aiming easier. In the marker wheel, you can now left click on an item and it will place that marker down. AI will now request ammo when out of ammo while using a static weapon. This has for effect to trigger AI engineer behaviour to come and build an ammo crate nearby to supply the static weapon.

CHANGED:


Improved the orientation/direction of AI built static weapons. Removed the dot for aiming with planes when using rockets or bombs, prediction was too accurate when playing in third person mode. Made shooting RPCs slightly smaller in size. Could maybe help with network bandwidth. While the marker wheel is open and you are using a static weapon, the camera/gun will stop trying to move towards your mouse as you are trying to place down a marker.

FIXED:


AI freeze instance. You could prone while using some static weapons that did not support use while proning. AI built static weapons were not perpendicular to ground. AI never built artillery, it now will. AI could build static weapons too close from each other, even in very rare cases on top of each other. When validating a marker from the marker wheel while using a static weapon, this would trigger a shot being fired. T-34 1943 had movement issues. AI freeze when building an ammo box request by human player. Big performance issues when playing long games: Markers would never be destroyed, only disabled, and processed even while disabled. Huge performance killer in long games. Some wooden pillboxes in Normandy Fields would not graphically be destroyed once destroyed.

  • We are a team of two, it's just my brother and I. He is the artist, he does the level design, modelling, while I am the programmer. We will welcome any constructive feedback and act on it. Don't be afraid to get in touch with us! We are listening to the players (we know what it is, we are both players before being game devs).


    Our vision for the realism of this game is somewhere in the middle. You will not have to empty an entire mag to kill an enemy. You will not be able to carry a machine gun as a main weapon and a rifle as a secondary weapon. We try to stick to realistic loadouts. You will play as a pretty average soldier.
    You will die very quickly if exposed to enemy fire. You will be shell shocked if you stay near a gun while it fires (seriously, don't).
    Trees can be destroyed, either by shooting at them or driving them over with tanks (or crashing with planes).
    Terrain can be deformed and there will be craters wherever a shell or a bomb hits the ground.
    Tanks have plenty of shell types with realistic behaviours (AP, APC, APCBC, APHE, APCR, HE, HEAT...). Damage model for tanks takes into armour armour slope, armour thickness at impact point, angle of the impact and shell type. All vehicles have modules (Engine, Turret, Gun, Tracks...) that can all be damaged/destroyed. Crews can and will also be killed.
    There are ricochets, and there is no limit on them, go crazy and kill with physics!


    Now, what's really new about Beasts of Steel is its strategic level on top of the tactical level. On the very last screenshots you can see that there will be several campaigns consisting of maps made out of hexagons. It is turn based, but the battles can be resolved at a tactical level, as a traditional shooter.
    You will have resources to manage (Steel, Oil, Rubber, Aluminium, Tungsten) in order to produce units, create armies, and capture victory points. It will play like our first game Hex of Steel, but with more resources, and battles in first person if you wish so.

    Communication with the players is very important to us. Those of you who know me from our first game already know that I (as the programmer) am super fast to release patches (we're talking within the hour) when something is not working as expected, or implementing players ideas. For those of you who don't know me, feel free to read some of the reviews under our first game (Hex of Steel).
    All of that to say, we value communication, and constructive criticism. If there is something bothering you in the game, or if you have a brilliant idea, let us know! We have a discord you can join to chat with us in real time (almost any hour of the day or night), or a good ol' mail.
