The vehicle in the game developed over some planning and mind ramblings on my part. It started as an Angler fish and ended as a Whale. The bases of the game is that the technology is powered by the crystals so that is the heart of the vehicle in this game.
I made an animation for the vehicle in Maya, I worked to try to make a natural movement even though the vehicle was fairly rigid. I then textured in in Zbrush playing around with colours and Textures.
In the game we have bridges that are made of rocks and fly in when triggered by a volume that the player drives through. I made animations in Maya and imported them into Matinee that would play when triggered.
I also Started making the material properties with the textured made by Tamla my team mate.
On this game, as we were using Unreal 4, I took a more technical role in implementing Blueprints for animations on the components. As well as Building up the map.
For the second game, we had to make a racing game. We decided to go about making a remediation of Atlantis in the sky. The theme is a cross between Mayan and steam-punk and is quite mechanical. We have lots of moving parts and cog islands. The idea for the game being a checkpoint time trial with lots of open decision paths in the route the player takes.
The last few bits that I worked on
The Text for the scroll.
Formatting the sprites sheet for the camera animation
Editing the props for colour and also broken variants.
The Buttons for the controls.
Getting my layers made. The game uses layers in a random assignment too add more variety.
I also made a hologram wanted poster for the main character.
More variety more stuff more together.
So next I used my sprite kits to build layers up and composite everything together into a full background.
Continuing from my last post, I developed more and tighter designs for buildings and produced sprite sheets with variations using neon signs.
So I have neglected to update here for a while, but have been very busy working. So i will do a series of updates on the Games development module I have.
First brief for this was to make a puzzle game. We kinda did that ish ;P
The game we made was called Chroma and is a side scrolling endless runner with a colour changing mechanic.
I was in charge of production of the backgrounds. This meant producing layers and modular assets for both time and also parallax.
I started concepting out buildings and moved into a style of very crisp geometry as the game is set in Neo-Tokyo. Cyber punk was the theme and i went with a blue tint for everything as the game is set at night.
