Battle Charge News

Hey Warriors,

A fresh update is marching into "Battle Charge," and we're excited to share the latest updates

Shieldwall Evolution: We've honed our shieldwall mechanics! Now, your troops will smartly give way as you pass, making you truly feel like the hero in command.

New Attack Animations: We are refining our attack animations to find the best combos for short range and long range attacks (step forward attack)

Auto-Aiming for Step Attacks: Selected attacks now have a auto-aim feature, making each hit count (for now it is the superman punch)

Ragdoll Physics: What's a battlefield without the aftermath? Our runtime ragdoll implementation now brings a more realistic feel to the fallen corpses.

Blood and Swoosh Effects: We're spicing up combat with new blood splatters and swoosh effects! Still fine-tuning, but it's looking gloriously gory.



Sound Effects: Battlefield experience is now even more immersive with the addition of environmental sounds and combat effects. Hear the clash of every sword and shield waterfalls and winter winds!

HUD Improvements: The HUD's got a facelift and is all set. Next, we're working to make it fully data-driven.

As always, keep your blades sharp and your shields ready. Your feedback greatly appreciated, and we're grateful for every word of it.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thanks for standing with us in the shieldwall :)

Greetings, warriors of Battle Charge! It's time for another exciting development update. Our team has been hard at work, making significant progress on various aspects of the game. Let's dive into the recent changes and updates:

[h3]Battle Setup and Reward Screen[/h3]
We've made notable improvements to the battle setup phase. While it still requires some fine-tuning, we're moving in the right direction. Additionally, we've successfully implemented the reward screen, allowing players to relish their victories before returning to the hero screen.

[h3]Polishing Environments[/h3]
Our dedicated artists have been working diligently to polish the two available environments. We've checked and improved the lighting, fog effects, and weather conditions to create a more immersive and captivating atmosphere for your battles.

[h3]Obstacles and War Zone[/h3]
Prepare for challenging encounters! We've introduced three obstacles: arrow rain, trap holes, and ballista shots (arrows implemented so far). The war zone has been defined, ensuring players are contained within the designated area, preventing them from going beyond the boundaries.

[h3]Hero, Sidekicks, and Enemy Captains[/h3]
Exciting additions have been made to the game's roster. We've added a hero from each faction, along with three unique sidekicks/companions - one representing each faction. The fearsome enemy captains (boss enemies) have also joined the fray, adding more depth and challenges to the battles.

[h3]Troops and Combat Features[/h3]
We've implemented changes to the troops' visual appearances, specifically for the swordsmen. Archers and spearmen are still in progress and need further polish. Additionally, combat features such as different attack combos for troops and unique fighting styles for sidekicks are being fine-tuned for a more engaging and dynamic experience.

[h3]Gameplay Screens and UI[/h3]
The main menu and reward screen are fully implemented, providing a seamless navigation experience. However, settings, skill tree screen, choose your weapon screen, and in-game HUD elements are still under development and will be introduced soon. We're also working on implementing a data save UI and cloud data transfer functionality for players' convenience.

[h3]Combat Enhancements and Features[/h3]
We've made substantial progress on combat features. Each troop type now possesses different weapon combos, enhancing the variety of attacks. Sidekicks have unique fighting combos, and we've added special abilities to both sidekicks and the hero, though they require further polish. Hero executions have been implemented, and we're aiming to include more executions for added immersion. The charge feature and long-range attacks during charging are fully functional.

[h3]Shieldwall and Morale Implementation[/h3]
The shieldwall formation has been successfully implemented, allowing players to tactically defend or break through enemy lines. Different attack animations within the shieldwall stance provide a realistic and engaging experience. Additionally, morale implementation is complete, further immersing players in the strategic aspects of the battles.

These updates showcase the progress we've made in various game aspects. Our team is committed to delivering an exceptional medieval battle simulator experience. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to refine and enhance Battle Charge.

Charge forth, warriors, and prepare for epic battles!

The Battle Charge Development Team

Bug fixing could be boring, so lets take it easy and try to enjoy them.
here are some bed time stories :)

Bed time stories - bug fixing edition
Our hero in Battle Charge tried to execute a move, but things got shaky...literally! 😱 Turns out the camera was wobbling because it was a child of the player object. 🤯 We thought about making the player search for the camera and shake things up, but decided to fix the player object instead. 🙌 Lesson learned? Keep an eye out for unexpected shakes – they could be more than just a funky dance move! 😂

The Clumsy assassin
Once upon a time, our hero was trying to execute an enemy, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get close enough. Turns out, there was a bug in the distance settings! So, our hero opened up "ExecutionInfo.cs" and added a distance multiplier. Now, with a wave of his sword and a flick of his wrist, he can execute his enemies from even further away than before! The best part? The multiplier is set to 1, so no need to worry about any unintended consequences...probably.

The Nightmare of the dead
The team was scratching their heads, wondering why the player was still trying to execute moves on dead enemies. They tried everything from CPR to bringing in a necromancer, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, they realized that the enemies were already six feet under and needed to be left alone. They added some code that checked for signs of life and made sure the player only attacked those who were still kicking. Phew, crisis averted!



Execution error due to a missing target.
After checking if the player has orientated themselves for an execution, we now ask them the most important question of all - 'Where's the target?!'
And if the player forgets to bring their target to the party, we kindly remind them with a gentle error message instead of a game-breaking crash.
It turns out, calling for an execution when you don't have a target leads to trouble. But fear not, we've got your back with a friendly reminder to bring your enemy to the execution party.
No more execution errors - just smooth, satisfying takedowns.

Hope you enjoyed. stay tuned for more
