Apart this engine give a strange feeling to me, is CC but is not CC ... is like a kamaleon, now i am 2D now i am 3D

I like how you've kept the style the same as the old games. Camera angle is good too. Great job!

I have no use for that type of view. Perhaps from the view as in the posted screen shots, to a mini-map view would be adequate. I don't want to be trying to set up a squad in a building while my forces are being decimated outside my view.

The current plan is that there are two camera mods - straight down and angled view. It's not often that a unit will be behind something since the camera angle is pretty steep, but you can switch to straight-down view to see behind anything. You won't be able to rotate the camera, but you can zoom in and out to any arbitrary height between a set min and max.

Are you planning on having multistorey buildings?

Steve told sometime ago how some parts from the map can be destroyed, not all because the amount of work would be very big.

Maybe be able to at least destroy houses is a must have... if i dont remember bad in Squad Assault you can destroy them.

Another important thing for me is... fortifications, how work now trenches... and bunkers i think that with new engine enter in a building is harder, not like in old CC where no problem to enter even with no doors.

I do not like comparations too much but specially with this, I wait that absolutely nothing from Squad Assault be used. Squad Assault and GI Combat, they were some of the worse 3D games nver made.

Vehicles won't intentionally ram buildings, so no, you can't drive your tank inside one. That's something we may do in the future, but not for version 1.

There will not be multi-story buildings in The Bloody First. It's rather like CC1 in that regard. But this is definitely something that is planned for future versions.

Ummm talking about open a hole in walls... infantry can exploit them as doors??? thanks.

We've designed all the buildings with windows on all walls, though, so this isn't really a major factor in most cases. The 'windows on all walls' is so that infantry can enter a building from any side, without running around the building and potentially getting killed, when you order them to enter.

Yes. A decent-sized HE shell will cause visible damage to buildings.

I think there should be a way to cap the forces (other than mutual agreement) so you can have varied scenarios like a low point game would force you to choose between low quality but numerous troops or high quality but fewer troops.

Status: offline 		Great to see this 3D Close Combat will be released in the future.
Here is some suggestion on graphics:
1/ The terrain is close to former CC series, which is ideal, but the texture of roof, vehicles and trees are in different styles.
2/ I don't know why but the vehicle looks like toys, so could their texture or mapping be improved? add something like rust or coating
3/ The top of the tree looks really weird, the branches turn out a brown hole in the center. While leaves have too strong contrast, as if they can glow.
4/ The bushes are not connected. They are scattered maybe because they are 3d models. But they do like umbrellas or little trees.
5/ I saw 3D boxes and fences on the ground. Well, things like carts, tables, abandoned metals, dolls, ads, road signs, grill, hens, dogs, pigeons and shadow of clouds appeared in my head (Not important)...


I didn't see river, stream or pool, so really don't know what the water effect will be like in this game. Waiting with excitement and expectation.
Just share with my thought.
Really Good job for alpha version anyway, please don't be hasty, I can wait while I play the Cean version.

Thank you guys!

You will be able edit the textures when the game be released.



I know how many times I have written it but people, the game will be released this year, you can not wait that they make any more changes or additions at it. Sometimes I feel that some people think how a complete new game can be made at few months, you can not imagine how work take these things.

I'm just wondering how things are going?
40/50/75% complete?
Any chance of updated screen shots?
A ingame video.
Release date?
Price?

It is going. :) Unofficially, I am working on the AI, 3D objects are being added, and maps are being created using the in-game map editor.

Official information / announcements will happen in the relatively near future, but I can't give anything more exact than that at this time.

Steve
