Final Project Week 8

-

 For this week, I had taken on the feedback that I was given on Week 7 and had began to improve my level from the feedback. From this, my main focus this week was the expansion and improvement of the vent system. To do this, I had created another path for the vent system that exits the roof of one of the laboratories. This will help as it makes it easier for defenders to get to the objective they need to defend.

I had also applied a vent texture to the whole vent so now the vent system is completed and can be marked as complete.





With the implementation of the vent system, I had also added a crouch button to the game so that players can enter the vent by couching. I had done this by adding new blueprints of changing the height if the camera and mesh and by changing the size of the player capsule.










The second task that I had completed this week is the creation of a ammo pack and a health pack. To do this, I first created a BSP of what I wanted the size of the packs to be in the game. Then I exported the BSPs into Blender to create the real model and create the texture. Afterwards, I imported the model into the level and created a blueprint for the packs. 

For the Blueprints, I added a collision box and had created code that when the player enters the collision box, the pack will disable visibility for one minute and then enable visibility. Whilst the pack is invisible, the player can't go back over the collision box to try and toggle the pack back on as a Boolean prevents this.

I have done this to give a clear layout of where the placement of ammo and health should be in the level and to give clear purpose to rooms that people had said where unclear to there purpose.


For next week, I will need to have the vast majority of the BSPs converted to static mesh and to create the production video for this project.

Summer 2024 Solo Project Dev Log Week 1

  Summer 2024 Solo Project On Monday the 6th of May 2024, I have begun creating a solo game project during the summer of 2024. I will be documenting the development in dev logs on this blog.  To begin this project, I created the base documents that I will use to figure out all the different aspects of my game concepts. These documents are: A game design document (GDD), a level design document (LDD), a technical design document (TDD) and a idea generation document. These documents will explain what the game is, why I am making this game and how the game will work. In standard industry practice, there would also be a Narrative design document (NDD), however, where I am working solo on this project and that this game will be a simple game fundamentally, a document about narrative is not necessary. I will document narrate in both the GDD and the LDD. With these document templates, I create five folders with copies of each document in each folder. These folders are for a different ...

Final Project Week 7

 In this week, I decided to create a formative feedback form for my current game level. To do this, I when onto Microsoft Forms and created a form and showed off the current build of my level to multiple people which then gave me feedback using my form. From the results of this feedback form, I had learned that players end up being lost and/or confused when playing my level and that the objectives on the map where not clear. This is a issue that I will need to address soon in the levels development. I had also gotten feedback about the vent system and players would want a more expanded vent system and a chance to go into the vent system in the game. I will have to create a quick block out of the new expanded vent system and the implementation of a crouch button. The next tasks for me to do are to expand the vent system and to implement a crouch button to enhance my game level.

Final project Week 5

 For this week, I had finalised the block out of the level. This means that the pre-production phase of my project has been completed and that I can move onto the production phase of this project. I had also conjugated all the work so far into a informative video which shows all the pre-production work. The video can be viewed here:  The next step is to begin turning the BSPs into static meshes to create textures and begin turning this block out into a proper level environment.
