WEEK #3 – BIG GAME PROJECT – LOGO
|
Hey guys whats up! So this week has been intense. Next week we have our Alpha deadline, and this friday we had playtesting with the rest of our class. That was more or less our first deadline to have something playable. I think we managed to do very well, even though we had a couple of bugs, the game is finally shaping up to something we visualized in the pre production phase. So what have I done this week? Well first I started by making all assets more smooth, by removing hard edges and smoothing out the meshes all together. We are using a special Shader for our objects in the game. It makes the objects see-through, and it looks so much better with smoothed edges than with hard edges. Good thing we thought of that! Towards the end of the week I have been working on a couple of drafts for a logo. It is not done yet, I am still testing out different styles, but I atleast have some different versions I can get feedback on. Here are some screenshots! This is a brain that I built by drawing circuits, to try to enhance the ”intelligent AI” part of the game.
Here is a version with a darker purple and a lighter purple. Mostly because our game is built on mostly blue and purple-ish.
Here is a green version of the text. Why? Because our prisoners has the color green, it seemed like it was fitting.
And then, my personal favorite, the original color. This is basically the same color as our shader for coloring the objects in the game. However the problem is that it doesn’t pop out of the image, and is kind of hard to see.
I am currently trying to make the text ”F.R.A.U.S” pop more, but it is really hard to find a color palette that is fitting to the game, looks good, and really stands out from the rest of the image.
Next week, on thursday, we have our alpha testing. Wish us luck :)! Oh yeah a screenshot from the game, in its current state:
Note: The blue and red bar at the top left, and the red boxes in the game, are just placeholders.
Have a great weekend everybody! /Adam
