Upcoming
These are the major priority features and tasks for future updates
Investigate Unity’s new data-oriented tech stack – ECS, the job system and burst compiler
Implement a multiplayer framework using the new Unity networking system, along with finalising interfaces for users to integrate alternative systems. The framework should have the following features:
- Client/Server model with authority
- Simple expandable player lobby
- Competitive game styles (deathmatch, last man standing)
- Team game styles (team deathmatch, king of the hill, capture the flag, attack/defend)
- Co-op PVE game styles
- Messaging
- Spectating
- In-game server admin roles and administration
New states to allow player character controller via animations (eg. scene events) and lerping to static or moving “attachment points” among others
Unscheduled
These tasks are planned for addition, but a priority and time scale has not been decided
An expansion asset that adds first person roleplaying game features to NeoFPS, including:
- Player stats affecting movement, health and damage
- Survival elements (food, water, sleep, stamina, illness)
- Inventory management and hotbar based inventory
- Containers (chests, bodies, etc)
- Loot drops
- XP and leveling system
- Skills and perks
- Simple dialog system
Investigating the scriptable render pipelines, including the HDRP. Mainly focussing on the impact to the first person camera, but also looking at new features like shader graph based weapon clipping solutions and separate weapon FoV.
Tap vs hold interaction, and interaction wheels
Extending the interactables system to allow for interacting with the Unity UI system in world space
Fixed position weapon turrets that players can interact with and control
A framework for interacting with and controlling vehicles from first person
Save system with quicksave, autosave and manual saves. Continue and load options from menu. Checkpoint base saves and respawn points for storing progression but not details like positions and character state
Possible
These are features that would be cool to have, but have not been appraised yet
Shader based bullet hit decals integrated with the modular firearm system and surface based impact system
Touch screen based camera, movement and inventory controls, along with supporting features such as new inventories
Small demo games sold as separate expansion assets, with full art, audio and animation assets, and scripts. Examples include:
- Multiplayer
- Open-world
- Story based
- Survival
Additional multiplayer features such as:
- Matchmaking
- Persistent player profiles
- New architectures
AI based controllers for first person characters with basic pathing and aim. An API for custom implementations will also be provided
A camera system that allows switching in and out of third person (maintaining character control), and cinematic modes (animated / scripted character control). Includes looking at integration with Cinemachine
A system for constructing buildings by snapping objects together
Got an idea for an awesome feature you’d like to see added?
