Project DifficultiesThe game begins with a cutscene of a vehicle driving down a road with dialogue text that requires player input to progress through. As there is no set time for how long this could take the player, the cutscene had to be made in a way that it would seamlessly loop.
My SolutionInstead of animating the vehicle itself, I made the environment textures scroll endlessly via script, while the vehicle model remains stationary. With a locked camera, this creates the illusion that it's moving through the environment.

Strongest AspectI love to make guns for my games and the shotgun in The Whitetail Incident is one of my best.
There are a lot of factors that go into making a gun feel good to use: screenshake, animation, movement tilt, sound effects, how enemies react to being shot etc.
And personally, I think that all of these elements came together quite well for this shotgun.
