A year (almost) later

By Unknown -
Well this blog was intended to be solely for university, and to an extent it still is. I passed the second year with a 2:1 total, unsurprisingly lacking on the AV side of things, but I got 78% on my engine work!

I want to start publishing a few more photos, screen caps, documents and such, because I will be entering the industry within a few years with any luck. If I am not picked up by a company at any level, be it QA or further, then I plan to start a project with a few of my friends I have made along this road. It would be exciting for sure, but my goal is the industry. In fact, there's an internship opportunity at Ubisoft that I would LOVE! Obviously the chances are slim, but man, what an experience that would be, right?

So you might see a few more posts popping up throughout the year as this transitions more into an online portfolio


The game definitely suffered from a lack of art on the UI. That being said, it's minimalist, using a lot of transparent shades of greys and blacks. Originally, stamina was a bright red, but I changed it to a purple tint because I know someone I wanted to show this off to was colourblind. I would have liked to have a more blizzard set out UI, from either WoW or Diablo.

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
