Third Week of Big Game Project

So me and Anders are in charge to make ALL the assets in the game. We are aiming for about 100-120 props in the GGC version so we have alot of assets to make.
I have been working on craters, stones, signs and more but the thing i want to talk about in this post is the Spark and how it was created.
The Spark will be used as a point of intrest for the players and will yeild alot of score when […]

Big Game Project: Open Circuit: Week 1

All right! Big Game Project, finally.
If you need any information about the project, you can read my vertical slice. Let’s get started!
 
Since I am one of the happily designated level designers. I started off sketching out parts of the first level right away.
Our level structure is made up of about 5 “special areas” or “skate-parks”, spread out in a large level. The environment that isn’t special areas are mostly there to guide the player to the nearest one. So I […]

Day 1: First week done and we’ve come so far already. Since I’ve finished a lot of my environment models already I got assigned to model and texture the fish we’re going to have. I was given a half done model and changed it a bit. I put it into zbrush and sculpted on it, made some fish scales with alpha brushes. I used planes with texture on as fens, for some reason the planes become transparent in Maya and […]

Mechropolis – Fleeing AI

I’ve recently started working with the talented folks at Digital Tuna (creators of CoBots) on a new project for the course Big Game, the grand finale of our second year here at Campus Gotland. The game’s name is Mechropolis. It’s a first person action puzzle game in which the player is invited to explore a long lost underground civilization. The only remaining inhabitants in this derelict world are the robot servants still carrying out […]

Unity tweaks, workarounds and tricks

Week 2 of the Big Game Project is done and with it I’ve encountered more than enough of various quirky/unexpected behavior from Unity and community plugins. What I’ve learned from my endeavors I’ve decided to share. It mostly encompasses things which may not behave as one would imagine at first. I’m surprised that I didn’t encounter these while developing CoBots but I guess changing the workflow significantly enough (for the better) is the primary cause.

Temple of Light (Big Game Project)

For the last 3 weeks I have been working on a game called Temple of Light with a group called Parehelion Entertainments for the course Big Game Project. The game is a First Person Puzzle where the player uses mirrors to move light and reach crystals to complete different challenges. My role in this project is level design and I have been working on four different levels as well as a zone where the player starts, a tutorial level, a […]

My work on E.R.A

We started working on the Big game project about three weeks ago. Things has so far gone very smoothly an we are on schedule.. (knock on wood). My work has been to make a concept of the melee creep, make the model, skin it and then do rough animations. Done and done. With the over all concept of the game being a bit of steampunk-ish I had to get familiar with the artstyle as I’ve never done anything like it. […]
