After creating a model of The Futurist in Nottingham, UK, using Blender and UE4, I am now reimagining it in a cyberpunk Style. Below are the original model and the same area and a showreel video.

Just completed my first game jam. We worked as a team for 36 hours to produce a prototype of a game focused on sustainable energy. Our team worked hard for the entire duration and created a brilliant project that we’re all really proud of. I personally did the majority of the programming.

Here is a playable version for testing, please feel free to offer feedback. https://patrickekallen.itch.io/ioh

I have decided to allow people to test the game and take feedback and suggestions from anyone who wants to try the game. I will update again as soon as a playable version is uploaded.

This version has an array of new features, many of which are visual. Version 1.0.1.1. looked largely the same as the previous build, as most of the changes were internal, including reworking the movement system’s code to eliminate frame rate issues and adjusting the physics and mechanics of the jump and the speed of playerContinue reading “I.O.H.

In version 1.0.1.0, I have rebuilt the entire game from scratch, with my player character remaining static in the gamespace whilst objects move toward her, giving the illusion that she is moving without the danger that the player will venture outside of the boundaries of the working space in Unreal Engine. The new game featuresContinue reading “IOH Version 1.0.1.0”

This version made substantial progress, but was also unfortunately not going to be a viable build going forward as there is a bug which causes crashing resulting from a fundamental problem with the design of the player character. This version contains real endless runner mechanics, with the player advancing forward and tiles being generated aheadContinue reading “IOH Version 1.0.0.3”

In this version I have implemented targets and mechanics for the two resource bars the player has. By left or right clicking, the player can fir weapons that use either bar, and the targets are appropriately coloured so that only the opposing colour can hurt them. The player can also boost or break to speedContinue reading “IOH Version 1.0.0.2”

As I progressed with working on my prototype, I decided that the best way to accomplish the feeling of constant forward movement that I wanted was to force the player to constantly move forward. I added forward movement and the ability for the player to move left and right. At this stage changes to theContinue reading “IOH Version 1.0.0.1”
