Gameplay Update:

Over the last couple of days, I have reformed my inventory system, making it more robust and user friendly, whildt beginning to implement my Skill Tree system. For now, I have 3 simple examples, however today I am going home to see my family and the train journey will give me some time to research my skills and decide on how to make the skill tree as interesting as possible. Id quite like to give my game a Skyrim type upgrade system, with different trees affecting different aspects of a characters abilities. 

Heres a short video on my progress so far, showing the more robust ammunition system (Which I have toiled to make intuitive, but could still use some refinement)

Project Update 15/05/2020 Part 1: Recap and Research This will be a long overdue 4 part update to the progress on my project. During this update series, I will begin to breakdown my research additions, such as my conversations with artists such as Richard Lico and Peter Dimitrov, they're feedback and how it has affected my design practises and the choices I have made. Additionally, I will go through a breakdown of my project, offering the first full look at all the mechanics I intend to implement, as well as the first look at a preview video from which the overall idea of my experience can be seen. Throughout this video, you will be introduced to all of the mechanics I have implemented so far and what is in the pipeline. In order to offer my research perspective, I will break down how the mechanics I have chosen to include have come from outside influences, as well as the benefit I hope to get from each mechanic.  To begin, I will first recap the main objectives ...

Blog Update - 09/10/2019 Here's what I've been working on during the last week or so... I have decided on my way of working for this year, beginning with a practical as part of my research, before implementing new ideas based on my findings. Fig 1. I am starting with Do It, before going round the chart working on my solution I've toiled and played with Isometric pixel art, trying my hardest to create a character that seems to fit a certain art style. However, as my results turned out quite nightmarish, I began looking at characters the player can use from the top down instead.  Fig 2. Nightmare Fuel I've started development of a character which, for now, has some limited cosmetic customisation which I just need to implement into UE4. This consists of various head styles, as well as the ability to customise the colour of the skin and hair on these sprites heads. The rest of the sprite is clothed, but in future and after play-testing, I  can work on ...
