Time to make a Game

With only 2 weeks left to complete our second assessment of the year, it looks as though I might be behind, but I know exactly what I want to do with my game. I’m currently coding a very nice feeling platformer controller, once complete, level design and gameplay will be top priority. Can’t wait to get some pictures up =D

AIE 2016 - Enter Year 2

First day back studying Game Design and Production at AIE in Melbourne. New teacher, same class. Can’t wait to get back into the swing of things and start making games again. Been a long time coming!

Music and Sounds

Today I found a bunch of sounds effects for our game, including attacking sounds, footsteps, waterfall sounds and splashes. I even found some music that could be used as a battle theme. I am certain we will use some of the sound effects, but I think we will have to discuss as a team about what sort of music we use for our boss battle. I really like what I have found. Can’t wait to start getting them into our game!

Latest in-game shot of our build. Our character has attacking and jumping animations and our tentacles have way more attacks. Very happy with our progress =)

Our waterfall has been changed by @jbrymcfly, and I finally added some plants onto the bottom of our cliffs, oh, cliffs too.

In-game screenshot of our latest build, less lot’s of environment stuff I’ve added recently. Can’t wait till all that sort of stuff is put in the next build.

Hey everyone, been really busy lately but i thought i’d make a post before the week was over. Things are turning out really good on the art side of things, we have a character which is in it’s final stages, an alpha with all the mechanics being updated daily, and right now i’d like to show off what i’ve been working on which is this tentacle which i had to partially slave over to get working. Basically the base of the tentacle is anchored and i used a series of hinge joints to allow me to animate the end of the tentacle and physics will do the rest!

Textured by Josh Barber (one of our artists), this is our WIP player character. Our entire game is coming along very nicely. It is very much a game now, and not just a bunch of things in a Unity project. Can’t wait to see it further along.

Our Sell Sheet for a game I currently making with a group of people in my game design course. I cannot take all the credit, only a small part. I helped come up with he idea for the front and I wrote the information on the back. This looks absolutely amazing!

Did some merging today on Perforce. Got character model in with controls, some tentacle animation, and a good looking waterfall (currently not pictured here).

I ordered the Fallout4 Loot Crate and they charged me for 15 of them. They took 300$ and now I owe them 1200$. Apparently, this has happened to a ton of people and they're trying to fix it. If anyone ordered double check your bank statements.

Holy shit. Im glad I didnt order one. Signal boost the crap out of this everyone!
