ERA – Week 6 of Production

This week I have worked mainly on the fog of war and the minimap. It has been a pretty tricky process to get it all to fit together.
For the fog of war setup we have worked with an external tool from the unity app-store. This has made it possible for us to get the fog working decently quite fast, but it makes it harder to make adjustments and establish connections to for example the minimap.
The first thing I did this […]

BGP Week 6

Last week I keept polishing the main menu animations, I also did 2 animations for moving forward manually, the player will be able to do this when he/she has lost an certain amount of speed, but these animations might not be used and we might use some sort effect to show the player what’s happening, the reason for not using the animations right now is that it’s unclear what the animation is supposed to do.
During the week I also started […]

Big Game Project: sixth week

I made many textures for the wind level this week, we wanted to finalize a particular level so we could show our game to our Tutor. It was hectic to make so many textures in such a short time, but I did manage to create them with some easy methods. I reused some textures I had already created but I gave them some variation from one object to the next. I did this for the Color and Normal maps. I […]

Sneaky Ninja – More items!

 This week I worked on finishing the final two items for our game, as well as implementing the item selection system, so that players can choose three items to use in the level.

Grappling hook, fire cracker, smoke bomb, shuriken, four of the five items in our game.
The two items I coded are the fire cracker/distraction bomb and the camouflage item. These items where a […]

Fifth Week!

Not long until GGC now! It dosen’t feel that only five weeks have passed since we started, but i guess in such a short course there bound to be some of these changes.
The game is taking shape more and more by the minute. The two last items are in: Camouflage, which hides the player if he stays still for a long period and distraction bomb, which draws guards attention away from whatever they are guarding. The model for the guard […]

Pre beta week.

 
 
 
 
This week has been very stressful mostly due the redesign of level 2, the levels has a complete new level layout and is very dynamic which means that we need a lot of new geometry, modular geometry.
We also need a lot of props to give the environment life, which also calls for a lot of prop modeling. We have focused on our 2nd level this week and its our biggest one, there’s a lot of space to be filled […]

Logos and plenty of them!

Wow do I have some catching up to do! I’m sorry for the delay with the posts, I have been postponing blogging, thinking I can update later! My bad! So the artefact of this week is our game logo. It took me roughly two full days with multiple iterations …

BGP Week 6

This week my task was to start implementing the graphical assets we have created. I started first to put together the wind themed level, based on feedback from this weeks “quality time” meeting with the teachers, we decided to make the wind level to be more vertical. Now the new wind level got more height differences in the pillars.  The idea was to make the pillar platforms like a city.

Preparing for Presentation(Week 6)

It’s really difficult to get a good structure on a presentation and that is one of the things I have been working on this week. The power point presentation for GGC is something that is looming on the horizon and I am a bit nervous about it. I have been having some problems with the structure, what to say, what is important to mention and what will sell the game.
It is difficult to know how much you should explain and […]

Big Game Project – Week 6

This week we had an internal Beta deadline on Friday, so we wanted to have most of the game complete so we can focus on polishing the last weeks until Gotland Game Conference.
I worked a lot with the world map this week. First I implemented the proper progressing system through levels, and then I continued to work on the world map bonuses. The player gains them for holding an area on the map, and they are random every playthrough. I […]

More Networking! – Big Game Project

So this week, I got a lot of work done. I had trouble with the networking part of our game last week, but after getting some tips on how I should go about solving it, I fixed what I worked on for half a week in just one day instead. There is now a Game object called controller which has a controller script attached to it that handles all the RPCs that are sent to the other players. Instead of […]
