No title yet, still far too early for that.
I don't know what genre it would fit into. You control a single vehicle at a time but maybe several per mission but you are never on foot and the camera is never inside the vehicle. So maybe a Third Person Vehicle 'Em Up. So there it is, I am writing a 3PVEU!
You have the choice of Helicopter, Tank or 4x4 (maybe others if time permits). Some missions will require you to use all vehicles others you may have no choice and only be given one of them.
There will be different mission objectives. From reconnaissance to capture the flag type games. Possibly with multiplayer but I doubt that I will have enough time for that aswell.
I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this. There is an awful lot to do but I will try and get it done in time.
I have spent today making a terrain and placing plants and trees on it as a speed test, just to see what I can get away with. I have used 'Arteria games' objects and have spent most of the day reducing the size of the textures to make them usable. Some trees had three 1024x1024 textures applied to them. I have reduced them to 64x64 and you can hardly tell, a MASSIVE saving in RAM and a huge speed increase too.
Here's a screenie. It only shows what I have been working on today so, there isn't any gameplay there but it does give an idea of what it will look like.
