Update # 001 ( October 11 2011)

This is a daily update I shall be doing for this developer blog.
As time goes on , I may reduce the frequency of these updates but at this point I feel daily updates are necessary.

Things Accomplished to date:
- Camera attached to player
- Moving Player
- Basic Terrain Generation
- Some Player Collision
- Character Walking animation ( does not stop while player is stationary though)


Things Accomplished today:
- Investigated "Limbs"
- Tried to implement it into Character + Weapon Attachments
- not working as of yet ( still have yet to find the problem )




To do:
- A LOT ( eg gun aiming , gun firing, object collision .etc)

- also have to set up networking ( more on that soon)

-

Change of Plans

we are no longer using the previously devised terrain.

Instead we will be using a better more efficent terrain model.

Details to come.

Coming soon.....

This is just a shot from the alpha build

Project is still in early stages. It will be announced soon.

WELCOME

Welcome to the asyed developer blog for J.A.B Productions. I willbe making an annoncement of our upcoming release soon ....
