Sixth week of Big Game project

Time is flying past and soon it is time for GGC. We had a lot to do this week and we were supposed to have our feature freeze after this week.
However, I could not work as much because I got sick halfway into the week and was bedridden for the remainder of the week. But what I did get done was that I created control nodes that the teams can take over to gain presence on the map. When the […]

Textures and prefabs

GGC is drawing closer and with only a few weeks left on the project there is a lot to do. This week, one of our teammembers has finished working on the robots and started creating meshes as well, which means that I could focus on only doing the textures and making prefabs of them in the engine. It’s been very straight forward work, which has been nice and almost relaxing. Together we managed to create a whole lot of assets, […]

Big game project – E.R.A – Eternal Resonance Arena – Post 4

This week our producer and i wrote down every single asset we have left to make and put them on the whiteboard so we easily could get a overlook. After seeing what we had left we decided to focus this week on texturing everything and we nearly reached our goal part from a few small things. Anyhow i’ve been working with finishing up our boss minion, our ranged soldier and mainly a lot of time this week has been spent […]

New screenshots!

So, the original plan was to post weekly video logs, but holy smokes we’ve been busy. The entire team has been working a whole load more than full time for the last weeks to get all the features in game… and we did it, We’re feature complete!
There’s still a lot of content missing and things work in progress but all the important features are in, most importantly all of the 5 initial robots have been implemented and all their 6 […]

Weekly update #6 – Technical difficulties

This week I wasn’t really sure what to write about, because on Monday everything was working fine. I worked on a buff system. Which I got working on Monday. Then on Tuesday we got a new map, I downloaded the map and after that weird things started happening. First the soldiers (or creeps as they are called in other MOBA games) started warping around the map. I tried to fix that by trying to get the Astar path finding script […]

Completing things

This week it has been a lot of focus on getting things done. We needed in-game photos for the jury of GGC to look at. So I’ve been finishin up all the highpoly models of my characters and baked normal maps etc. The results have been really good, although some parts needed to be tweeked in Photoshop. For example the eyes of the forest creep/cheiftain was a bit off and to smal for the low poly model. I did go […]

Props, puzzles and Playtesting

Since I finished my work on the robots last week, I’ve moved on to modelling props for the environment. As you might recall, I made some cogwheel stations last week and I have now added alot more props to the list. I find it quite fun and easy to work with props, but I want a long list of things that needs to be modelled, otherwise I find that it’s easy to lose track of time. If I have a […]

The week of XInput, Checkpoints and "Destructible objects"

The week has come to an end, and for once I thought I whould get this blogging thing out of the way in time, so here I am.This week I’ve been doing alot of different things, I re-did how the checkpoint boosts worked, I implemented XInput, a Xbox controller library. I linked our multiplayer lobby to the actual gameplay so the multiplayer works, and a lot more.
Checkpoints
So we got some feedback during the alpha, and one feedback we got was […]
