Controller and Thrower Robots
|
We’ve now started on our first sprint and, as I told you in the last post, I’ll work on the modelling of the robots in our game. Since our games mechanic focus around fusing these different robots together, I’ve started off by making two different robots that I’ll now use to make one fused version of them both. The two different robots I’ve finished these past two days are the Controller and the Thrower.
The Controller, when fused with another robot, makes it possible for the player to controll the fusion and use the different robots abilitiet for her own use.
Thrower The Thrower attacks the player with its scoop once the player gets to close.The player will have to stun the Thrower to be able to pick it up and fuse it with another robot. When fused, the Thrower will toss the player and other robots. If the player use this the right way, she might be able to get the robot to toss her in the right direction and in this way use her enemy to solve the different levels. The modells are quite simple, since we want to keep down on our polycount. Moste of the details will be added in the textures, so I’m excited to see how these turns out once the textures are ready! The modells will have some schnges once they get fused together, but I’ll always be able to work with the two separate robots as a start. I’ll have to be carefull and think about how the different fusions will move, what we want them to be able to do and also how they will look in the players perspective. Since this is my first time working with a first person, I try to think about it alot. I also prepare fot the possibility that we might need to change somethings on the modells once we see them in action. Hopefully we won’t need that though. I other news; We’ve changed our name to Mechtropolis. I think this is a good choice, but I also feel like the name needs us to push our environments even more, to make sure the player feel like she explores a new world and atmosphere. It’s an interesting challenge and something that I believe will only do us good in the end.
