GOLF - The Leaky Galley

JasperHope

This is my first attempt at a polycount contest so be gentle! I know I'm a bit late to the party but I'll give it a shot anyway.

The Leaky Galley is an old pirate ship with a hole in its hull! The objective is to get a cannon ball from the ship's wheel on deck down into the hold to block the hole as quickly as possible.

I'm newish to this so please feel free to give tips, suggestions and critique.

Thanks!


Blocking out the shapes in Max.

Nice idea. Looks like that will be fun to play.

Nice boat, good effort with the modelling to pull it down to minimal.

JasperHope

Thanks! I've decided to reuse a lot of the assets throughout the level to speed things up but I will create some texture variations if I have enough time. I've made a little progress on texturing some models. Let me know what you think!





All textures will eventually be merged into a single 1024x1024 texture to meet the contest requirements. Hopefully they won't look too pixelated!

Jasper: You can have as many sheets as you want, the total res of all textures just has to fit in a 1024x1024.

So you can have 4 512's, or 16 256's, or 64 128's, or whatever combination of those you need, so long as the total area is 1024x1024 px or under.

This is an awesome idea, keep it up!

Getting a feel for it in-engine. I'm considering a moonlit night setting with lanterns but for now concentrating on exporting everything.

Small lighting update and added more props.

Top level, almost finished, just needs a bit of polishing.


Second level. Need to fiddle around with the layout a bit.


Third level. Gonna have a break and finish the rest tomorrow. The lighting has glitched out and I don't know how to fix it!

Looking forward to seeing this with the lightmaps fixed. Looks great so far.

Looking really cool, am enjoying the moodiness

For the lightmaps, did you try setting the faulty materials to LightmapPageID -1 instead of 0?

The "hole":

There's still a bit of overall polishing to do but I made a video to show where I'm currently at. I'll hopefully finish it tonight after work.
