UE3 Mobile- Zombie Apocalypse‎ Environment
polycounter lvl 10
Hey all,,
I just wanted to showcase my latest W.I.P Environment. It is for a Action Horror game for the mobile platform called 2013: Infected Wars (www.actionmobilegames.com) built using UE3.
The idea behind this map is that players must reach the mall and traverse the freeway along the way. Once near the mall, they realise that the area has been quarintined, and the survivors have turned the area into a slum city, with various shanty buildings they player must navigate through. Obviously, there attempts at a safe haven did not last long and now the entire area is overun by Flesh Eaters (zombies).
Keep in mind the extreme technical limitations faced when constructing this map. The general on screen draw call count is between 8-15 and only 3-4 textures where used to create the entire level. It runs at 40fps on a iPhone 4g and iPad 1.
Thanks for looking, feedback and crits appreciated.

I did notice some issues with uneven texel density, and the textures on the bridge don't really match up across edges. Also, I'm not sure how much breathing space you have here performance-wise, but the lighting seems a little flat currently
Seen this guy somewhere before....

The design seems to be somewhat similiar indeed.
It's basically the same thing with the same name, and it's kind of noticeable, everybody pretty much recognizes him. And for me...I personnaly don't really like seeing something re-used like this
The environment looks pretty nice ^^, not a big fan of the light cones though.
As far as character quality it will be about on par with epic games Infinity Blade with what can be achieved. Shaders do not to advanced on mobile but when used correctly they are still doable.
making levels for ue3 mobile is entirely different than regular UDK. We spent a good 6-8 months figuring out the workflow, I'll post a scene breakdown later today. Cheers!

And didn't think a bit about the players not knowing the character....good point ^^
