First week is done!

The first week has gone by quickly, and we are ahead of schedule 🙂
I started out the week by creating a character that was moveable by using an xbox controller, unity had scripts for moving the character, but unfortunately they were written in java (therefor non-compatible with c# scripts which we are using) and they  did not support did xbox controller, so I had to re-do them from scratch.
When I was done with the controllers, I unfortunately started working with features […]

First Week

The First week is done and we are ahead of schedule. I have worked on shaders and some lightning and the basic ai for wolves.
Have been working on shaders all day today in order to meet my enviromental aritists wishes. I have not been able to fully reach it and now we are looking at other solutions for shadows. We wanted dynamic real time rendered shadows but were advised to bake shadows. The problem for the dynamic shadows is that […]

Second week of Big Game project!

So this week has been filled with tasks that have felt as if progress are going sideways. The plan was to start merging what I had done last week into an alpha version of the game, but as it is with most programming there were some obstacles right from the start of the week.
The first obstacle was that our AI monsters did not have pathfinding so they kept getting stuck in objects. To fix this I had to learn how […]

First week of the project

Day 1: School meeting with the new Big Game Project group to discuss design, schedule and planning etc. We’re going to work together five days a week from 9-5. The design of the game was shorten from a massive sandbox bear simulator to a polished tutorial as well as an open world to explore after. Everything was discussed; graphic style, particle effects, sounds etc. I am very much hyped to start working as the environment 3D artist.
Day 2: We haven’t […]

ERA – The Struggles Continue

So week two of production has come to an end. It’s been a tough week with many delays and unforeseen obstacles, but I still feel we have managed to get far. Our pre-alpha was due for today and while we have not reached all the goals we set ourselves for it, I feel we have reached enough of them for there to be no need for despair. (Yet)
This week I wrote a generalized system that handles the interaction between spells and […]

Starting the Theme Park project.

We finally got a green light to start producing our game!
 
We had a bit of a struggle regarding the concept we had. The judges didn’t find it amusing enough as it is a kind of a puzzle game. The thing for the project is that we cannot use any console or computer controls (Ps3, keyboards etc.) So for this project the player (or to, we are aiming for a co-op puzzle game) will have to control to balls to complete […]

Theme Park!

Right away after finishing the first project, we are plunged in to the next one! 
My group have devised a game concept called Totemic, it will be a competitive multiplayer game featuring “king of the hill” type gameplay. Four players will each control two characters with a joystick and a trackball and battle each other in a jungle themed arena.

Big Game Project Week 2

This week we have been continuing to work on the levels for the alpha of the game. We have a total of 4 different levels not counting the treasure room, central chamber or the outside area in which you start the game in.
The work has went pretty well and today we had three levels that where playable. We had a play test today where the entire group played the levels and then commented on what they liked and didn’t like […]
