My plan for this game at this point was primarily to create a fast paced third person shooter with platform elements. I really wanted the player to have to keep moving forward. In addition I planned to include a system where the player’s energy bar was also their health, tying health and ammo to theContinue reading “IOH Prototype Plans”

This video contains the first prototype build of my game, which I am currently calling IOH. This third person shooter build includes hitscan firing, which depletes the player’s blue bar. Crouching disables firing but shields the player and restores their blue bar. Holding the fire button charges your shot, and if the purple bar fillsContinue reading “Prototype: IOH”

This city environment was created from a small selection of geometric shapes and basic flat textures. Both of the more complex buildings were created from the same pieces as the city.

This level features a custom character model, a hand created animation blueprint and blendspace, hitscan weapon firing, reloading, target enemies and mobile enemies. The environment is also decorated with graffiti created from my own original drawings.

This environment was created in UE4 to practice level layout and lighting techniques. Custom assets were added including the railings and lamp posts.

Some early sword models from when I was first working in 3DS Max.

This landscape was sculpted using the inbuilt landscape tools, then painted with a custom landscape texture. Basic architecture was added for scale. Later, I incorporated post processing effects to improve the lighting.

Before starting my current degree I used an online course to learn basic scene layout and lighting techniques in UE4.
