Preparation for next stage

Preparation for next stage of development

So, as discussed in my 09/01/2020 Update Post (https://maforshaw.blogspot.com/2020/01/update-09012020_9.html) I have decided to make some changes in the next iteration of my title. In line with feedback I recieved about the aesthetic of my title, I have decided to reskin my project in the 3D space. To do that, I will be using this amazingly professional, coherent and well designed locomotion system:

This will be the base of my new iteration. By implementing my improved inventory and upgrade systems, I will have a game complete with much more character and excitement. This is a very interesting find, as the systems in place are extremely complex but is explained in a way that can be understood and developed upon easily. This will be extremely useful to me and the player can even customise their characters initial appearance. Implementing weapon assets should be easy and will enable me to have a variety of 3D weapons with which to use. The future of this title now looks much brighter than it did.

Project Update Part 3: NS

Project Update 15/05/2020 Part 3: Next Steps This is Part 3 of my project update series. To see Part 2, where I breakdown the mechanics of my project and offer a look at footage of the latest playtest, click here: https://maforshaw.blogspot.com/2020/05/project-update-15052020-part-2.html Additionally, to see the video directly, click here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z9UBQurkW0&feature=youtu.be This part of the update will look at the next stages of my development process, such as what mechanics I still need to add and how I plan on innovating further.  To begin with, I will look at my progress towards the finished so far, looking at how the progress I have will enable me to progress and develop new mechanics. So far in my project, I have implemented the systems needed to generate dialogue for each location and variation of character availability. To complete this stage, I need the raw dialogue, which I am in the process of creating with the help ...

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 ...
