Big Game Project Post 4

Since i’ve been incredibly bussy with BGP, GGC (Gotland Game Conference) and moving i haven’t been able to upload my posts on schedule. I’ve been living without internet lately but finally made it to the mainland/Stockholm back to my home town Norrtälje where i have internet.
This post will mainly be about the UI(User interface), the decisions i had to make and why.

Fixing the silhouette of a troll

Hi!
In this blogpost I would like to talk about the reiteration of the troll mesh for our game.
The troll of our game is a bigger enemy type, both in its appearence and as a threat. It’s inspiration and lore is that this old troll who resides in the bunker is an old John Bauer troll who, ever since he was insprisoned in the bunker some odd millenia ago, lives in the dark comfort of the bunker.
The idea we drew on […]

Detecting Sound

The game’s main mechanic is listening for survivors using triangulation with seismic sensors. To achieve this I created game objects that could be placed out into the world that held a sound file. We wanted the sound to be louder the closer to a sensor it was, rather than just have it play when within a certain radius. To make this work I had to implement a fall-off algorithm. First I tried to just make a simple fall-off where at […]

BGP – 5

I want to tell a little bit about the things that I liked the most and at the same time they were also the most time consuming.
Im going to start with the fountain. The plaza was large and rather empty. We were thinking should we perhaps make a statue or a fountain. After a short while, everyone agreed on the fountain.
Okay, so the progress of creating the mesh for the statue didn’t go as I planned. First, I though in […]

BGP – 4

 
Hello again and again… x) I don’t have that much to explain about different things that I created since the main task that I had was to create the props so to be honest, I am a little bit unsure should I choose one prop and explain about that or choose a category (like I did in my first post with the bar props)… So confusing!
Oh well… Maybe I can make a list that is good to have in mind […]
