Spirit Boom, more houses.

Here are some videos and pictures showing my progress this week.

This is a zoomed out view of the village you start the game in. Still a work in progress.

Pre Alpha week (w4)

This week was the last week before the alpha should be ready. The main focus of the week from my side was making a small test level to be played at the open game testing that was held on Friday. This involved plenty of play testing, remodelling of the level, and discussions with the other team members on what we needed to make the level work.
Many art assets were implemented during the week such as buttons, inactive and active boxes as […]

We needed to get some more textures, or at least colors into the geame world, so we could […]

BGP Week 4: Spline Level Generation – From cubes to modeled meshes

I already knew from the start that I would have to modify what I already had; the previous system relied on hardcoded vertex indices, and the cubes I played around with earlier only had 24 vertices in total. The new mesh had somewhere around 400 vertices, which Unity then further increased […]
