Bullet Trails In Videogames Matter

I love me a good bullet trail! Sadly the amount of games that gets this crucial part of presentation right is not nearly high enough. Game development is difficult enough as is, sure, but let's add another nitpick to the pile anyway!

I tend to use this asset called ''jet trail smoke'' and just attach it to the projectile!

Great video, I feel like Ive overdone bullet effects in dreams when making shooters, which is probably worse than underdoing them. It becomes a big distraction for the player. One thing Im trying to figure out is how to use Dreams to make a massive mulitplayer inspired shooter game with capturable objectives (using AI enemies and teammates of course). Im thinking something like Battlefront, Battlefield, planetside 2, ect. The biggest problem for dreams is obviously the small amount of puppets you can spawn at once. My idea is to maybe break the map up into different territories for spawning AI, but then this creates the problem when traveling between the territories and initially finding them empty. And I want objectives around the massive map to be fought over, not just where the player is. Anyways thats what I wanna make in Dreams. Good video!

I can just imagine you loading up a new shooter for the first time and checking out every crosshair and trail for each weapon before you can get started. 😂

[@intrattackout]

Haha yes, that's me!

So bro ! Just steal Dreams and make your own server and lets do some real competition games ! P.s. on the matter of bullet trails , I would suggest for you to look at Lineage 2 "soul shots" system and the result you get when using it. Point is the weapon gets to have 2 different animation sets for either with or without the "soul shot". Also even if it is a glorified target/scan/trigger effect, it gives a very satisfying impact confirmation. As per your comment you actually get more confrimation impact from the start wit the "fire" going out of the gun. Now combine both the start visual and the impact visual as much as the trail itself. Appologies for my broken english ;) Cheers ;)
