Thanks guys! It's gotten a bunch of people interested in Crusader, with some copycat works popping up. Time to grow my cult! Haha

First place! Crusader reigns supreme! https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/758990/view/4142819632289266375?l=english

Competition judging is live. 84 entries and one judge, could be a long time before CRUSADER comes on that I'm not even sure I'll be able to watch it. Fingers crossed I get into the top 3 though!

Thanks Keenan, means a lot. Since my last update I've been busy. Deadline was yesterday, the judging takes place tomorrow (3:00pm EST). If anyone finds themselves bored, the competition is being judged by one of the dev's Discord mods TomeBinder, a heavyweight of the AW3 community. He'll be...

Working out the final bugs before the deadline at midnight. Fingers crossed nothing breaks when the judge plays it.

So I've just finished making the map and have submitted it to the competition. Its already had very positive feedback, which is nice. Without going into too much personal detail I'm the father of two disabled children and because of that I generally have very, very little time to do anything, so...

Hi guys, just a little update. Unfortunately I ended up abandoning the 1:1 recreation, purely because IRL stuff stripped me of most of my free time and in the intervening development lull I sort of lost all motivation to get back into it. That was until an Ancient Warfare 3 map competition was...

Still working on the map. Made some shield batteries, and some other custom objects. Going to see if i can script an inventory that works in tandem with the vanilla game's, and will allow me to explore the use of items such as spider bombs and medikits that can be called upon later on. AW3's...

Little update: So it looks like I'm going to have to cut the level into smaller missions and stitch them together into a campaign. Not a problem I guess, but the amount of light sources I'm having to use along with amount of fairly high-fidelity (for AW3 anyway) objects is going to cause an FPS...

No update to the map tonight, as I spent my time scripting a custom hud. We now have an active energy shield, a weapon read out. I wanted to follow the actual CNR hud layout, but I can't get around the vanilla ammo system as it doesn't keep track of the player's total ammo, so I've sort of built...

Little update/explainer of AW3 to avoid any future confusion over what it is I'm actually making this in :)

That would actually be kind of handy. If you can send me the one of the first mission, I'd greatly appreciate it. What would be the best way of delivery?

Yeah lol, I noticed that too, except that I've already moved beyond that now. I'll post another video tonight, and hopefully daily, showing my progress. With how AW3 works, I might end up splitting the level in several mini levels, so that it forms a type of campaign in its own right. I guess...

Hah that's really cool! I never got into proper game development myself, although in hindsight considering how complex AW3 can get I think I could've figured it out if I went with Unity. Regardless, AW3 is all I know and so this project will be grounded in that game. If you have a flare for...
