Changing Roles
Today was an exciting day for my fellow artist and I as we got invited to speak to the 2nd year art students as part of their 3D class. This is actually the first time that we have been on the “other side of the classroom” and actually speaking to others about what we do. Apart from presentations as part of our own courses which is far from the same.
We were asked to speak about what problems we have had […]

Time for polish
A lot of stuff have happened since last blog post and at the same time, not much.
After last post last week i didn’t do much work on Naar but instead began working on a report for another course. Sadly i contacted a cold right about after last post and didn’t have any energy to do much of anything for most of the weekend, at least i got some sources. I wrote most of my report on the Monday in panic, […]

Christmas Challenge – Day 1 & 2, HUD
Hello everyone, I read about a game development challenge on the Unreal Development facebook group that I found interesting and wanted to try out.
Basically it is that you set aside one hour everyday to develop a game inside Unreal Engine (this is of course optional, it could be any other engine out there including your own). For me this was a prime opportunity to yet again try to dive into the monstrous being that is Unreal Engine but this time […]

Working Arena Mode
This week have been good. I got plenty of work on the second enemy and it is all but implemented now. I also implemented a system for spawning enemies in a wave form with the order and types of enemies dictated by a pre-determined list of variables. Sadly a somewhat crude way.
The second enemy works similarly to the first which finds a player and runs towards it to attack. If no player can be spotted, it instead finds an instance […]

Effective day.
Been really efficient today, i got plenty of tasks done. Smaller tasks than the ones on Asana but still got them done.
First i worked on implementing the aiming system i worked on yesterday to all the spells, turns out you need to add the original position to the directional vector(times the travel distance of course) in order to find the end location for the spell. Anyways all spells now uses the object reference found in the player class as their […]

Making Enemies Appear
Today i did two things, spent 30 minutes activating the functionality for spells to use the player’s target object as goal and also move in the direction of the camera rather than the direction the player character is facing. Second i started implementing functionality for making classes which spawn enemies onto the level.
From the ground up there is first the Enemy itself which is an instance which looks for and attacks the player, this class is simply the blueprint class […]

For all this work I should be showing more blog posts
Well, turns out i’m still lazy when it comes to blog posts, six days since the last one, bleh. At least i got work done, most of last week was spent working on the AI working out any quirks such as not returning to it’s intended spawn, attaching a hitbox to hit’s attacking claw, figuring out why it wasn’t dealing damage to the player properly, (it still misses the player twice if it lands 6 hits in a row). On […]

The progress of Naar
We have been proceeding with our game Naar and reaching to new places, things are going a bit slow but if we nail the mechanics and have them done before Christmas, then we can start working on making a playable demo and hopefully with an interesting narrative.
I have been writing Devblogs for Naar so I had to prioritize that, you can read more about them at our website: NaarTheGame.net.
However, I have been doing a lot of work with my […]

Texturing
This week I started working on a new and updated version of Tamarrion’s texture maps. I had to redo parts of them due to adjusting the model but we felt that we wanted to take the texturing to a new level and decided to redo them completely. What we want to achieve is higher quality textures that has a more hand painted look than I managed to achieve on the old ones. It is a challenge, trying to level up […]

Finally, I have work to show again!
Oh it feels good to be back working in Unreal rather than grinding away at the report I’ve been doing for the last couple of weeks. During the last two days i have been working on very simple AI behavior to use for enemies by this Friday. It’s coming along but it has had its issues.
I started by following the quick start guide from Unreal’s website, (found here: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/AI/BehaviorTrees/QuickStart/index.html) and for the last two days i have made […]
