Part 4: Portfolio Work

This is the 4th and final part of my Project Update, where I will show off some of the latest work I have done to improve my portfolio. To see Part 3, where I breakdown the next stages of my project, click here:

As well as working on my project, I have also begun adding to my portfolio. I recently completed a lecture on Udemy to help me improve my 3D Modelling and I am glad to say it has helped me with my confidence in modelling. I feel like this is an important step, as my project is very centred around Unreal Development. As a designer, I would like to show my ability to work on a variety on roles. 

Here are the latest assets I have created:


Fig 1. A combat knife, modelled in Maya and textured
 using Substance Designer
Fig 2. A Batarang, one of Batman's most iconic gadgets

Fig 3. Based on the Gauss Rifle from Fallout 3, this model adds Steampunk inspired metals
and woods to the model

Project X Submission Update Part One

 Project X Submission Update Part One: Mechanics Breakdown During the course of this project, I have aimed to create a playable experience, which would allow me, as a developer, to experiment with mechanics, both new and pre-existing, for the purposes of creating relatable, attachable characters. Character attachment in games is a subject which has been been the subject of many reviews, so to improve my understanding of mechanics designed to nourish character attachments, I decided early on that I would create a character-centric experience which would allow players to create and develop their characters over the course of their playthrough. The intended effect of this experience was to try and create a relationship between the player and their characters. To do this effectively, I had to choose a selection of mechanics which would allow me to explore a variety of approaches to this topic. In the following post, I will break down the mechanics I chose to focus on, exploring how they we

World Map Progress and Additonal Tweaks

World Map Progress and Additional Tweaks Today, I have begun working on the World Map for my game. Taking a 2D map of Earth and modifying it in Photoshop to create an aesthetically pleasing map for my title: Upon this map, the player will be able to view their agents locations and tackle locations of interest and what they offer as they appear. These locations will be around the globe and at sea and will allow the player to play 5 types of mission: Looting Opportunity: Dropped into an area of interest in order to explore the area and extract any important and useful pieces of equipment and weaponry.  Enemy Presence: An area has been targeted by the enemy and troops have landed to occupy it. Infiltrate their new terroritory and eliminate them from the area. Enemy Base: We have discovered the location of an enemy compound. Infiltrate the area and destroy their generators, wiping out as many of them as possible. The rest will no doubt flee. Trader: A trader has been disco

Additional Thoughts and Developments

Additional Thoughts and Developments Over the last week, I have began to think in depth about the core of my research and the gap I want to fill in this Character Development topic I have chosen. My thinking has come into the area of what mechanics are most effective for creating these synergies between players and characters. And what mechanics are maybe obselete when it comes to nourishing a relationship between a player and their character/s. Before getting into the mechanics I will use, I feel it will be good practise to again outline the intended direction of my title, in order to present a more rounded case for each of these mechanics inclusions. My game will use influences from current popular media, as well as historic cases of  soldier and military development. Drawing influences from the Covert CIA experiments (Codenamed MK Ultra) of the 50s and 60s, as well as the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, and film/book series such as Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings
