Firestorm Arena Prototype
Almost at Alpha!
Few small tweaks tomorrow and then it’s mostly art before completion. I’ll do a bigger post then, followed by artwork the coming week.
All work pictured above is mine apart from a few environment assets, I also completed all the coding (learn’t heaps).
Who Likes Spiders????
You might be happy to know this is a player model!
Now to the texturing...
Substance Painter
My first piece done with Substance Painter texturing, I’m really enjoying the quick and easy texturing that you can get done.
4 hours of tutorials before I opened the software and another 2 hours completing this, I have learn’t a lot and plan to create and learn a lot more with my 29 days left of my free trial.
For anyone planning on trying it out the tutorials are great and here are some tips. Learn how to create high poly meshes from low poly (adding extra verts along sharper lines and spacing but still adding verts when you want it smooth). Then proceed to watch the baking tutorial and master normal maps before texturing. Ctrl + RMB to change brush size, Ctrl + LMB to rotate brush, other hotkeys are similar to Unity with navigation (using shift and alt plus mouse). Double click to assign a material to the brush, use separate layers for each material. The rest you can learn from practice and tutorials, goodluck.
Humble Beginnings
Start of my turn based combat programming, very simple to start with but I have most of the code to implement Initiative checks, automatic enemy response and the turn system resetting once I finish the Player and Follower Scripts.
The Idea is to have 4 stats (strength, speed, vitality and spirit) Which will effect the damage of weapons and health values of characters. I also plan on including armor sets, 2 attacks per type of enemy and ability's (skill tree system). The scripts have been created with this in mind so although the GIF shown looks simple it takes 200 lines of code to reach this point.

New Project - My Day
I am working on a new project for Uni, we are pitching out of the box type concepts that we are designing user experiences for.
My Day is an app used to improve your productivity and daily routine.Create tasks, record productive time spent by ticking off completed tasks and then compare day to day and week to week data to track your progress.
The idea behind this app is to divide important tasks into easily achievable chunks so that you can get a lot more done over your week. The core tasks are designed to create a morning routine that can have you set up for the day. The three tasks must achieve three goals, stimulate body, stimulate mind and reset mind. The classic three tasks are 20 minute jog, 1 hour reading and 20 minutes meditating.
First concept for my new phone game, similar to traffic jam the player will have to uncoil the full length of the snake while reaching the mouse and avoiding the obstacles. The player will be able to move the obstacles with the least amount of moves resulting in the best score.
I have a schedule set and work has begun, in 2 weeks this game will be complete and may be uploaded on Android.
Dice Dungeon Crawler
Just completed a quick design exercise in class, given 5 yellow squares (chests), one blue (the player) and a map we were set the task of designing and testing a mini dungeon crawler economy. By using probability our group managed to create a balanced game that is both challenging and rewarding. Encounter rates were the key to managing this as we could figure out the average amount of encounters it takes to reach a chest then adjust it so the player is likely to survive the return journey but pushing further involves risks.
Economy
Player Starting Stats: Max Hp = 10, Strength = 1, Gold = 0.
Gold Found in Chests: Green zone = 10, Blue zone = 50.
Gold Gained From Enemies: Green = 4, Blue = 10, Red = 25.
Cost To Upgrade MaxHP + 10 = 10 / 40 / 80 / 120.
Cost To Upgrade STR + 1 = 20 / 50 / 100 / 150.
Cost To Heal 1 HP = 1 Gold.
Enemy Stats on Image.
Rules
Roll once per tile to check encounter (player moves 1 tile)
Roll once per strength stat for enemy and player, damage = dice result.
Player attack first.
On player death lose half gold and reset to start.
Thanks to @joshc5 @julian–hunt for working on this with me
Working with Fire
Currently working on a campsite, that this fireplace will have a central spot in. I’ve includes two particles, a height and emission map and a spot light to match the color of the fire. Overall it took me about two hours, I’ll refine it once I have the rest of the scene and lighting completed.
New Business Card
Looking to get some new business cards printed to start the year so I whipped up a quick design, likely go with something more simplified for the front but I’m very happy with the back.
Goodluck to all first years starting at A.I.E!!!!
My second year has commenced and so hopefully has my productivity!
Quick Forest Scene
First pass on a forest scene for a combat encounter in the woods.
Border Art Done
Update on the border art, with desert, volcanic and ice to accompany the standard.
Border Art
Been playing around in Photoshop taking some first pass attempts at border art to be used in a variety of Unity (game engine) scenes that will change based on biome. These scenes will be set up with a CombatController to create turn based battles similar to some Final Fantasy games.
A break from the programming is welcome and I am pretty happy with the progress, here is a small tip for recreating part of the effect.

Isolated but on the way out
As of mid December last year I jave been without a computer that can run Unity, the game engine I work with. However I have had multiple things taking up my productive time space.
I have been programming on a macintosh that is capable of running a text software (albeit very slowly and turns off without the charger), practising my art, music and focusing a lot on my physical health.
As of the 30th of January I will be back in melbourne and at my desktop working long hours to catch up on my solo project. I will also be starting my second year at AIE at the beginning of February.
My Goal is to have a working prototype of My Robin Hood esq strategy game by the end of February.
More uploads to come, along with helpful tips and advice on how to recreate my work.
Hope your all having a good year so far because this ones for sure gonna be a good one!
Completed First Year at AIE
My first year living in Melbourne and I have come a long way!
Today is the second last day of my Design course at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment and this blog post is my last piece of assessment. I have learn’t more in one year then I could have imagined, my drive to create is greater then it has ever been and I am excited for the future!
Next week I will start production on the First Fayroon Tale, the first in a series of games I will work on as solo projects throughout my career. Besides that I will be trying to join up and make games with the friends I have made at the University as well as attending the Global Game Jam at the start of next year.
Best of luck to all my fellow design students, will see you around next year!
Worked on a custom shader, great tutorial here!
http://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/rendering/part-3/
I will make a script that allows me to randomly generate these based on multiple RGB splat textures, the hard part will be tiling them, I will probably generate the first tile randomly and have tiled textures that fit together but have different middle sections then every now and then generate then next one based on the previous tile as a fresh tiling piece with only one side the same.
This is to be used in transferring from different terrains as well as mixing up the base textures.
SWITCH SHOT GOLD VERSION 1.00
Here is a full play through of SwitchShot, new particles, new floor designs and lots of polishing has been completed.
This is not the final version, a clip of that will be posted later today.
So much more that we wanted to add and fix but I am very happy with what we have!
