Honours Project 3 - Week 8

I have finalised each element of the project now. The level flow is great and I have added UI to show the players health and the "Hunger" meter that will be used to show how the curse is impacting the character. I am taking a break from this project now while I finalise my other projects from the year (that first project still needs a floor rebuilding!) When I next update it will be with a gameplay video and my final thoughts!

Honours Project 1 - Week 3

This week has included creating puzzle blueprints and began working on UI. I have also started looking at assets to decorate the level with as I feel it will help with the overall look and feel of the game. There are many assets within the Megascans series by Quixel on the Unreal Marketplace that I feel will work very well so I will begin making a pass with those once I have decided on some. One of the core features of the game is the ability to use the internet from within the project rather than tabbing out to do research. Fortunately, this was very easy to create so I have implemented it already. Over the next week I shall finalise the puzzle blueprints and start transferring over to the new assets.

Honours Project 3 - Week 4

Development is coming on nicely. Simple combat mechanics, player animations and enemy AI have taken shape nicely. The focus for now will be to create the level puzzle. For this level I will be creating a giant meat grinder/blender at the centre of the level for the player to throw enemy bodies into. This will fill the "Blood Tank" and allow players to progress. I will be using simple blockout models to create this and adding particle effects to highten it more. Once this is built, the level blockout will continue around it.

Honours Project 2 - Week 2

There have been some issues with the plugin controlling gravity. This has meant that I have had to alter how gameplay works - temporarily - while I remedy this. I have been creating quick gameplay moments using Action Blocks as with my first Games Proposal project so I shall continue to build this way. I am also working out ways to trigger different gravitational moments such as the artifical gravity malfunctioning and causing the player to float up. This should work properly early next week.
