AV - First Looks

By Unknown -
In keeping with the recent theme of AV work on the blog, I would like to finish up with a small showcase of the soundtrack, and some assets. A lot of the visuals are still a WIP and are all untextured. I quickly threw this together because I was looking to get the sound work on the blog, but unfortunately blogger doesn't allow for just sounds.



There will be another post on texturing further down the line, once I am finished with most of the models. Now that I have given a good go at the AV, the blog will be a mixture and balance of Visual stuff, followed by some more architecture work and blueprints.

Project Management

The aim is to have the assets textured done by the 14th of April. The rest of this week (Until the 7th) will be spent getting UVWs prepared for texturing. After that, by the end of the month, I should be in a position to continue working on the game. The latter half of April will be spent getting the core mechanic of the game sorted, including a spell/ability list and the crafting puzzle.

Side Announcement

Exciting! The original author for the inventory system I have been following has opened up a small community discord, and a team of roughly 79 people, myself included, are going to start a small project together. There are a lot of details that I can't explain or go into detail, but ontop of Adstus Fabrica, I have now also started working on their project! At the moment I have only been responsible for a few models in a small town, but it's interesting to watch how people manage themselves and a project, as well as learning to work with Source Control. Can't say I entirely understand it yet, but these things come with time.

If you have an interest in submitting anything for this project, please follow this link and get in touch!

Architecture - Blueprint Inventory Part One [Long Post!]

Unfortunately, every time I screen record, the unreal engine crashes. So, I'm instead going to have to backtrack through what I have already done to try and showcase it in several screenshots instead, so that I can upload a small amount here and there whenever I have added something to the games blueprints! Woo! The following posts will be following an already existing tutorial that I will be talking through, made by user " Unreal Gaime Dev " - Please make sure to watch his tutorials and show him some love, whilst this inventory isn't clean or crisp, it is a very well functioning inventory using physical slots instead of a list. I just got done adding a very very simple currency system that currently isn't used anywhere else in the game, that's something that will come at a later date. Instead of spending two 6-hour days coding, I figured I'll stop until tomorrow and show the blog some love. The screen shot dimensions may be a little off on the ...

AV - Asset Design, Marketplace.

To top the day off and give the blog a little bit more attention, I want to showcase some of the assets I have been working on. Originally I was working on a more complicated asset for 2 hours every week, however I recently decided to get a lot of the smaller assets out of the way first, as I was finding myself slowly chiseling away at the intended asset list and not having much to show for it. Texturing is still quite a way off, and a lot of these assets are still in a whitebox state. The busiest, most populated level in the project will be the marketplace, which will require a lot of small assets, and a few of these I would like to show off in a blog post! Please bear in mind for the time being these are untextured save for one or two of the assets. Seconded to Crates, Barrels are an easy way to flesh out any level in almost any setting. Many games will have these be destructible or contain loot, but I'm afraid given the nature of my project I'd much rather have them ...
