<p>🚁 My war drone simulator Apocalypse Drone now has support for 32 players!<br>

<br>

I also made it Conquest/CTF so you have multiple bases that you have to capture, each round the map is procedurally generated and random so every time it's different (like Battlefield)<br>

<br>

There's still some bugs to work out and most importantly I have to figure out soldier animations, because they're fixed models now<br>

<br>

But I have got really far this time I think and coding with AI is really way further than it was a year ago, you mostly notice that how few times you get stuck, only one time this month building this I got stuck which was today where I moved the AI players to the server and they kept showing up as invisible, very buggy, every time I told it that it couldn't fix it though<br>

<br>

Then I asked it to fundamentally analyze the current server-side AI player code and make it work like industry standard, and it took a long time and fixed everything<br>

<br>

Last year I'd get stuck hundreds of times and the AI just couldn't get itself out of a hole, but now it can<br>

<br>

I think it's impressive that just last year only for the first time we could make actual games with AI<br>

<br>

But this year as non-game dev, I can get pretty close to the level of a multiplayer game from 20y ago (like Battlefield 1942, that lots of ideas here are based on, but with drones :D) <br>

<br>

Obviously we're still far away from AAA (I hate that term though) but the curve of exponential progress is there again, as it was in AI image generation, then video, and now code, first bad, then better, then good enough!<br>

<br>

Here's a video of gameplay from my drone sim<br>

<br>

You can play it with the link in the reply below and it's multiplayer!</p>

<p>🔥 Absolute war is breaking out finally on the server<br>

<br>

Added red tracers so you can see who's shooting who <br>

<br>

Also I got the domain <a href="http://apocalypsedrone.net">apocalypsedrone.net</a> now<br>

<br>

I want to improve the bullet sounds a bit to make them sound more localized, like far away should sound more high passed I think</p>
