Dev Log #9: 3D Battles & Renowned Regiments
Don’t forget to wishlist Master of Command on Steam—your support makes the difference!
Hey everyone, this is the ninth development log for Master of Command. We only planned on making ten of these, so this series is nearly complete. Let us know anything else you’d like to see in the final log next time—after Dev Log #10, we’ll begin posting trailers and raw gameplay leading up to launch.
1. New 3D Camera & Map Overhaul
We’ve officially shifted from an orthographic view to a dynamic 3D-style camera.
- You can now rotate the camera up and down for a more immersive battlefield perspective.
- All maps have been redrawn: old 2D assets were replaced to ensure accurate 1:1 scaling (4 km wide × 3 km tall).
- Farms, roads, and terrain now feel grounded—paired with the 3D camera, you’ll experience battles as if you’re on the field.
2. Sound Design Progress
Our sound team is halfway through implementing audio:
Marching footsteps and drumbeats
Musket and cannon fire (with shot-skipping effects on ground impact)
Dynamic music changes based on your equipped musicians
Next on the agenda: vocal shouts and battlefield ambience.
3. Redesigned Main Menu
The new main menu showcases core gameplay elements:
A soldier enjoying tobacco rations
Stitching of custom regimental flags
Artisans polishing cannons
A cavalryman and his dachshund mascot
A Death’s Head Hussar—hinting at unlockable famed regiments
