FLOCKED & LOADED - Devlog

Hello there!

So uhm, you’ve probably (hopefully) seen the new game jam overtaking the forums:

Yeah….
And maybe, just maybe… you’ve heard of the upcoming GTA6, and it’s long awaited release.

So why not piggyback off of it, and make a knockoff, family friendly, pigeon-based GTA?
what could possibly go wrong?


And that brings us to our game: Flocked & Loaded!
(Apparently there’s a game titled ‘Flocked and Loaded’ on steam… but shhhhhhhh)

Alrighty. Enough yapping.
You probably wanna see some gameplay!
Hopefully.

Looks pretty ugly. Yeah. I agree.

(^ A* Pathfinding cars that drive on the right side of the road (torn between making them drive on the left, or the right side.. or maybe down the middle :D))
They don’t really care about driving directly through each other.. :(

That’s all I have so far, and I figured you’re probably thinking ‘Wow! This person is a genius, and I really want to play this!’

Well, you’re in luck (subjectively).


And now, I’m nearing the end of my post… so I figured ‘why not end it off with some lists?’

COOL FEATURES I HAVE SO FAR (YAY :] )

  • Procedurally animated soft body pigeon!
  • A* Pathfinding cars
  • Mouse based camera and cursor

I REALLY NEED HELP WITH:

  • Making the cars not want to drive through each other
  • Make the pigeon react to getting hit by the cars…
  • (By the way, the two list points above, are a little more complex to solve than meets the eye. You’d have to look at the code to see what I mean… ;-; )
  • Using @BLADEr’s image mapping extension to make swaying tree images (I hope that’s how I can use the extension.)

Oooh, I can have polls too!

Do you think this is okay?
  • Yay
  • Nay
0 voters

And…

Should the cars drive on the right or left side of the road?
  • Right
  • Left
  • CENTER >:D
0 voters

So uh, this is the end of my post!
If you have any suggestions or help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Have a splendid day!
