GOLF - Kid's Playground

cmtanko

Finally done with a contract work yesterday, free for few days so directly jumping to the this contest. Been eager to participate from the beginning. 15 days left, Hope I can finish this one.

WIP#1:
Here is the rough concept (LOL, Cannot draw ). Basically its a simple Stone Tap area where people come to collect water, but for here some kids play golf here with their homemade ball.


Let me know what you think design wise(?)

Mangled Poly

Time running so fast, need to work faster.. Anyways, Here is a quick block out in Maya and abit modified concept for interesting gameplay.

Next Step:
-Start Texturing
-Export and test the basic Map in Engine

cmtanko

Did the floor and wall texturing,not good enough yet but that's all for now.

cmtanko

Small update:

Will be soon start testing the game.

cmtanko

doing lots of iteration in design,style,texture to get the feel.. Still doesn't feel like a mobile stylized look.. Anyways, here is the new update

cmtanko

Finally abit better looking maybe..All exported in engine and play tested,
Next:
-Make some adjustment in the textures[Make it look more vibrant ?]
-define holes and add some power ramps

Do, let know what you think abt the look and feel.

Since the deadline is extending, I'll still be changing lots of things(hopefully good ) But for now will be concentrating on gameplay design part and then again move to art.

Mangled Poly

Hey cmtanko,
Looks like you should select your static mesh and you should change its weldign type to anti clockwise in the properties.

cmtanko

Thanks Ryan, I did that but dint felt any difference, what does that do ? (well,I should have checked the documentation)

Phew,Had been hell lot of Busy and almost no update here, I still have 24hrs, so I again changed the design(LOL, I didnt like how it was looking previously,boring gameplay), so changed into something else, added more way,so more interesting and more element of surprises..

(Funny but somehow I'm still in blocking phase )

Sharvo

Wow that is a total overhaul hope you get it all finished and look forward to seeing the end results! Keep going! Have you thought about the surroundings of the hole?

cmtanko

Finally I feel confident, I can finish this in time .

cmtanko

Nailed the atmosphere, it's really good seeing how this one developed,very different for the first ideation to the final product, I like seeing the steps in peoples thinking! My only thoughts is on the colors really, maybe they're all a bit warm? A few cooler tones in would add a bit of rest points for the eye. You had some nice variation with the textures but it looks like the fog knocked out all the purples/blues.

cmtanko

Thanks man, yeah had to change alot to make it abit for fun to play and something good to look at.
At that time, was very much in dilemma whether to use blue and orange or green and orange as the main color palette. so, just picked one, I guess I might make it abit better later when I get time.
Thanks for the feedback
