Major Project Stuff: July 2016

Thursday, 28 July 2016

Concept art - Enviroment Concepts

Learning Blender - tests and trials

Initial Moodboards - style/color

We already have 2 of the 5 characters modelled. Their rigs still need some work, especially Smelly's... I'm having trouble with setup machine not orienting my joints to the world... so strange deformations happen. If I can't work it out I will rig myself, since half of my rigs are customised anyway.

The ever-happy Luke.

The unrealistically calm Smelly Belly.

Slides/Characters for Week 2

The polished characters for week 2. Since we're meant to be 'doing our major project in a week' as a team we decided on a pitch with demo gameplay. These are some of the characters (Lucas concepting environments). We will both work together during the concept and narrative stages, then we will branch out to our desired specialties when we build the game.

Our game/story is called Cell Squad, a mission-type game (???) where the player guides a former Immunity officer (like the police force!) Luke as he goes and investigates the growing influence of evolved bacteria. He, and his newly recruited team called the Cell Squad, must defeat these evolved bacteria and their cronies before hell breaks loose on the body.

The two demo levels we wish to develop are the gut (Smelly Belly's home) and the skin districts (Cluster's home). The mutant bosses are Bob, Smelly's former neighbour and Cluster's grandma.

Some Unity gameplay

This is my first time in Unity, and I have no idea what is going on most of the time, but I managed to get something working! The environment assets are provided by Unity and Digital Tutors, but I used my characters instead of there.

This is just a test game to see if the player can find Smelly Belly (the pink guy) in the maze.
