I think that your latest rewrite touches on a very important bit: knowledge. As the game progresses, the player should get more and more hints as to how to solve the game. A way to 'autobalance' the puzzle difficulty, if you will. You should probably try to make it as enticing as possible to solve the game as quickly as…
And you know what...you CAN REPLAY older games... You are only encouraging companies to make shitty games by running out and throwing down $55 for a new game the day it comes out. What I find truely amusing is the rate at which game prices plunge. First month, game is $55, then $50, then $40, $30, then 3~5 months down the…

I think it might help to think of the whole process with a different set of names. As it is 'low poly' could refer to a base mesh (something with topology not fit for animation, but more suitable for sculpting or subdividing), or it could refer to the game mesh (something with topology that would deform well when…
The following advice isn't specific to Unreal, it's just how we do it in games in general. For context, I'm a Senior Technical Animator at EA, and have previously worked for Ubisoft Montreal and Activision, so I have some experience with this. Walk Cycles: It depends on the engine / animation system, but for most games you…
Thanks for the suggestions. The park and its buildings/props are all based on the movies set so i didn't have too much control when it came to things such as the "ARCADE" gradient since it's that way in the movie. I believe the set designers made the arcade very kid friendly and colourful to match that style you're…
