[WIP] First Pass: Basic AI Teammates (GROUND BRANCH V1035)

[@BlackFootStudios]

For more details, see our full *Intel Report* for October: bit.ly/gb-intel-023

[@djeltri6ix69]

Don't forget to include player hand signals each to represent each items on the command wheel and also take inspiration from operations flashpoint dragon rising. Good 👍 work 👏 so far

[@koohkie1666]

Thank you so much for the update, I'll be waiting patiently.

[@bitkarek]

1st - rancomize the walk :D 2nd - you can take inspiration in Close Combat: First to Fight ... the AI there is the best I have ever seen- Those team mates always defend 360 and take cover without you telling them. Its really well made even tho the game is old. Take some notes there.

[@eagleyezxgaming]

We are finally getting team AI - this is the main thing that i've wanted from this game. I love RON, but I enjoy outside operations a lot more than CQB.

[@18ps3anos]

Have you tried Black One Blood Brothers? It has friendly AI and has plenty of outside operations on huge maps. It's very akin to first Ghost Recon.

[@eagleyezxgaming]

@18ps3anos It's one of my favourites. Made a few videos on my channel.

[@samnwakefield2032]

​@@18ps3anosno controller support ...thanks but no thanks

[@harrified]

I've been waiting for this game since 2008 or so

[@Vasily_Alekseyevich]

Man, this is what Rainbow Six: Lockdown (the sequel to Raven Shield) should have been.

[@gavinandhisberries]

Don’t even bother this company has just pocketed the money approximately 7 mill from sales to pay themselves a cushy wage for the next 15 years and expects the consumer to be happy minor updates every 12 months to ensure they don’t get done for fraud. It released in 2018 ffs 6 years later and there only just adding ai squad mates. You can’t tell me with the premise and quality of the bones for the game and 7 million raised they couldn’t expand there dev team, pitch to investors ? You only have to look at Grayzone in comparison to understand this studio is dodgey. 6 years and this is all we have. Mark my words they’ll pay more streamers to promote the game soon make a dev post and then decide to port the game to ue5 to justify even more development whilst they pay themselves 400k a year to make this.

[@WekBenHelix]

The spacing on these guys is super super bad. They're moving like they're in narrow hallway CQB but that's not how people move out in the open. Is there no way to command them to keep a broader spread while moving? They look magnetized together and they're begging for a grenade or a spray. I know it's a first pass, so I wonder what the second pass might include. That spacing might work for Rainbow Six but not for Ghost Recon.

[@DynamicOperator]

they shouldn't be 'commanded' to do that kind of thing. they should be smart enough to do it by themselves. Hold together in cqb, spread out in the open. And I agree with your point.

[@consecrated2718]

This was just the first preview. We have an advisor that is providing us with accurate information, just takes time to implement. We will continue to iterate on the AI before you get your hands on them and they will be continually worked on all the way to release and beyond.

[@WekBenHelix]

@consecrated2718 I figured that would be the case! Very excited to see this project mature. I launch it once a quarter to see how it's evolved and I'm always impressed at the progress. It's a very different game than it was two years ago.

[@GuilhermeSilva-kx6ms]

Cool the see friendly AI coming. Hope modders be able to work on it too

[@eagleyezxgaming]

I hope you strongly consider adding a tacmap to control the AI on the tablet

[@martinalzugaray]

They are doing a great job, they are on their way to the ultimate tactical shooter

[@nirmalyasengupta9013]

this game is getting it's own good shape time afer time..much waited elements AI Team mates now we need objective based single player PvE campaign not just a terrorist hunt and enemy AI need more revamp it's still feel generic old school type..looking forward for more content in coming time

[@AdventurerDave]

A really fun detail to see would be Whispering vs Yelling orders depending on combat status

[@shivajitiwari8568]

I am going to start having flashbacks from Arma 3 AI teammates.

[@SIERRA-SPECIAL-FORCES]

I would be very grateful if the developer would pay attention. In the future, I would like to see the muzzle overheating during prolonged firing of weapons. Weather conditions (for the atmosphere) A more realistic smooth shaking of the head and arms as the character moves. A system of wounds and treatment, a medic's kit. Intense suppressive enemy fire, Somali shooting. Preliminary exploration of the map from an unmanned vehicle before the start of the mission.

[@bestaatroxeuw]

Weather options, cleaner animations, wounding and healing along with many more features are talked about on their roadmap. You can find the link on their official website. Steam news also have lots of info in the form of monthly dev blogs. Enemy ( and possibly player ) animations are coming in this update, enemies are also getting new models. Weather, health and armor systems are coming either in 1036 or 1037. On the roadmap it says "1035/1036" but i doubt they will make all those features for 1036. However, only time will tell.

[@SIERRA-SPECIAL-FORCES]

​@@bestaatroxeuw thanks for the information

[@kyedavis1899]

Looks great for a first pass. Would be nice to see some spacing between them.

[@shootnblankz187]

For the love of baby Jesus please stagger the AIs foot steps a bit from each other. Love to see the progress!

[@qr_9]

please add gun jamming and add rate for ex 100% gun will jam or 50% gun will jam and also 0% for ppl who don't like gun jamming it's gonna add another level of excitement

[@SuperDracula1992]

Hope there will be some campaign also on release, like old-school ghost recon Wish you all the luck guys

[@ike-nr7xq]

Now ya'll have my attention. The more tactical shooters with squad AI, the merrier.

[@M4HRed]

Oh man I'm hyped about this I love ground branch dude 🔥

[@antwanowens4013]

Is this update currently available

[@qwerty85620]

Next step for combine arms?

[@RT81775]

Looks great! I’ve been waiting for AI teams for a long time.

[@ActualFactsRacing]

Footsteps are still too loud and uniform.

[@bari551]

DID YOU ADD AS VAL? I'm looking forward to this update

[@Bloodworia]

They are moving way too close for open terrain. They don't do a 360, just go somewhere and look somewhere.

[@bellsuwan]

I love it.

[@nAm3NaM3]

I'm not from military, but does irl tactic supposed to bunched up like that? I think they should spread more?

[@lowfatmofat2152]

Great game love it any plans for a huge open world map in the future and my friends ask any thoughts on console for the future. AI must be the hardest concept of this game keep going doing amazing ❤

[@tt350zJason]

Excellent!! Thanks for adding!!

[@Bone2187]

I play with the the customization haha I can't wait to have an AI team.

[@АндрійГригоренко-б9ь]

Hello. Please add another training kill house to the vanilla game - black with a red line on top and bots like in the Hico mod! Ps: ground branch is my favourite and the best tactical game I have ever played! Thank you very much! ❤

[@tacrecc]

You took the i out of AI.

[@Pr00ch]

Good AI is a lost art. I will buy your game if you can get it right.

[@c.c.3188]

I got this game under the impression this was already a feature....It's insane that this game doesn't have AI teammates....I was so let down...Please hurry and implement this feature. More people would play if this game was more like ready or not.

[@dominikandreasemmerich9559]

Very nice! Thank you very much! I love you all @Devs! =))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[@TheAmerican4]

When are you guys adding this game to Xbox?

[@amphibioustank76]

Oh my gooodddd, please hurry upppp

[@Patrick_doubleu]

Pls bring a Jungle map to the Game and finally a weather System ! ( Rain , Snow etc )

[@DynamicOperator]

Let's see some combat!

[@chimp_gaming.]

AS VAL? Is that new?

[@Moluscotron]

please let us remove the fog

[@shootnblankz187]

I think turning a one of the setting down gets rid of most, I could be wrong. If not Im sure you can in the INI its UE4 after all. Or do it though console commands

[@Ursicinus27]

This game is so promising!!! I m praying for a vr mod

[@RyanG-ij8xq]

They still haven’t fixed the AI

[@TimmsyTFG]

wtf is this supposed to be...oh dear oh dear...

[@michael-dumbley]

FINALLY

[@Preacher96]

just release your sdk properly and let modders do all this stuff. you guys keep proving why the game should no longer be in your hands

[@LewdSCP1471A]

There is already an SDK, and im pretty sure there's nothing stopping modders right now from making their own Team AI.

[@jakey5418]

Awesome

[@gothicserpent1093]

2050 game ready😂

[@bravosix919]

Great now you just have to fix the rest of the game.

[@Zero_hk]

BTS squad?

[@nothing-dk4dc]

ban the cheater instead of this

[@ELDoro]

What did I just watch? lmao

[@CHA1Nfps]

peak

[@BanzaiCAN]

Good ol R6 vibes!

[@aqulameow9088]

Scam game lmao

[@efrenblanco7707]

Do you know the definition of a scam game?

[@MrPimpmygun]

Can we just play it in beta or something, who cares if it's rough give us something brother

[@LewdSCP1471A]

An experimental branch that gets frequent updates whether they are ready or not would be much appreciated, Subnautica did that during early access and it was very welcome.

[@felisasininus1784]

I need this, please make it gud. Thank you!
