Big Game Project – Week 3

I started week 17 with finishing up the last of the thumbnail sketches that we needed for our internal alpha deadline. Due to some serious discussions that we where having in the team regarding weather or not we where going to switch theme for the game(from secret agents, to something more mafia related) and some members still being absent due to Ester brake, it was difficult to start doing any of the final illustrations until we where able to discus […]

GUI Work on Big Game Project!

This week, working on E.R.A has gone a lot smoother than last week. So last week I had a lot of problems with a healing statue I deleted after many tries. This week I re-modeled it completely and encountered the exact same problem, after a lot of thinking and trying with different file-formats I finally realized what the problem was! Apparently baking high-def model onto low-poly models sometimes does not use the correct colors for normal-maps (purple). What I did […]

Weekly update # 5 – Alpha

This week has been long and I believe we’ve come really far with our game. Not so much gameplay wise, but we are starting to get the game more and more together. We also have a direction that the game is going, with that it is also easier to program and get the things that we want into the game to work.
My task for this week has been to work on the commander. I did some work on him last […]

Week 4

We’re had quality time with our 3D mentors and they came with a lot of feedback
Change environment to more Swedish woods (required research)
More vegetation
Specific vegetation for just that area
Various areas of forest
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
I’ve done some iteration on the trees. Going for even more low poly so I can use them in different ways like putting them into the ground or rotating them to get more variety without making several models.
I’m also thinking about removing a lot of the mountains in the […]

Warbreaking Point Weekly Round-up – April 26th – May 2nd

Another week of development has passed and more work is being done on this project. Here’s what I managed to achieve this week.
I got a logo for my game!With help from one of the staff members at Campus Gotland, Lina Tonegran, I finally got myself a logo for this game. I gave some ideas of what I wanted, she gave my some sketches and eventually we landed on the final logo of the game.

Once again, thank […]

Cogwheels, Design and UVs

This week I’ve continued with the UVs for the different robots. They are now finished for every robot, except the Controller. The player will be able to controll different robots when they fuse them with the Controller. We’ve discussed how this will be handled ingame and what it will look like for the player. At first we had the idea that the player would stand behind the robot and have a view from the robots back. This turned out quite […]

Alpha week

Lasts week the focus of the group was to get alpha done. Personally for me this has meant that  we have had to really decide what the rest of the group is to focus on.
We decided that the main focus for us should be to get all of the main features in and then polish them and add tutorial next week before the alpha testing.
My opinion in general is that the week was very successful. We managed to implement fishing, berry […]
