Good to see what building lighting and in game post processing can do

If you know me, you know what happened, but for the rest of you: I had a serious family emergency and August was fucked for me. I'm continuing this project into September and expanding some of the concept with a newly relaxed schedule.

Original post:

UDK July 2013 released so I'll be using that.

UDK August Level Project: First person platforming level

power-ups: High Jump, Double Jump, triple jump, quad jump?, speed boost (any number of multi-jump is plausible, but gets ridiculous after a while)
I've already got these working this evening. Setting them up as power-ups is just as easy with art.

Switches, multi-switch (perminant versus timed)

Navigation: jump puzzle, speed puzzle.

Use of bots, weapons and other UT gameplay still in the air. Likely not

Visual inspirations: Portal and Blood Dragon for reusable modularity, clean art style, high contrast colors

Been watching a huge amount of crunchcast the last days while modeling

Nice to see you back on another scene, will you be releasing the assets for this, as you have a tendency to do?

Will be following this closely.

"Just read you will release it, good luck then "

Sounds like a fun month, glad to see you getting back into making udk mini games.

JamesArk

Sounds pretty awesome. Gonna subscribe to this and wait for the sweet, sweet updates to flood my Gmail.

Working all night, all the jump/speed modifier distances documented.

Unique power-ups contained: Jump Boost, Double Jump, Speed Boost and the super secret Infinite Jump (which you'll never find).

Woke up early. Listening to conspiracies and having a good time. Decided to 3d it out.

This is looking awesome, Chris. Love the colors you've got going on. That wall is looking good.

chrisradsby

Is that a gradient overlayed in the material or is it in the post-process so you get it for the whole screen? I think they did something similar in DmC.

Like this.

Either way, really nice work so far!

Razorb

These smaller projects you take on are always super interesting!

Ootrick

hnnnnng so nice! Just watched your last crunchbites too good stuff. Same question as Chrisradsby here :P

cholden

Super secret post processing technique until I actually setup proper lighting.

Also chrisradsby change that to a link. I hate thread clutter.

Is there going to be added "obviously highlighted" paths/elements that players can somehow interact a la Mirror's Edge? Or are we straying away from that kind of platforming?

Demokk

Looking really nice!

I've been listening to the Crunch Cast for a while, really useful advice.

I'm really liking the colors thus far.

ae.

Its pretty cool that your doing this! making your own mini-game in UDK must be very fun and challenging

personally i think the art itself is pretty boring I know your going for a simple look trying to riff on blood dragon/portal but i think you should push it a bit more, try to get some cool shapes/ material variations in there instead of just boxes with a shiny metal material on it.

Portal 2 does a great job of using simple shapes, then pushing the scene to the next level with some subtle material and shape variations.



obviously your still pretty early on and probably working on the game mechanics more than anything.

Cant wait to see how this turns out!
