Happy Sunday All.... if you read this after Sunday I am sorry but the happy is gone now. Welcome back to another Sunday Musings. This week has been busy jumping from thing to thing but its all good and everything is progress.
Firstly I started off finishing the biggest scene in the fire temple with meshes and unwraps all ready for the awesome texturing that really ties that room together... that's a quote Dan should like. I also went over the Gui and did a more fitting compact style that we are still working on but it may be representative of that finale GUI. As we need to do a few more tests on it to make sure its clear and readable at a glance and that the player will not be struggling to figure out health while dodging attacks or solving a puzzle.
We also redesigned the climb from the fire temple to the air temple completely. And made it 100 times more fun and more interesting. As the very first iteration was just running up a chain, and the next being running up the chain and exploring some very empty floating islands with little to do but fight. Now we have hit a good spot with designing in puzzles action and some good set pieces that will make the climb more memorable.
Dan was busy doing more camera work, soon he will be a fully fledged cameraman for RTÉ. He is busy making it more flexible and working for large fights such as the first main boss where we want to keep him some what in frame even in a large scene. This is tricky as getting it to work one side is fine but then when we slide under the boss it has a weird glitch that flickers and mirrors the camera so that was something that needed to be fixed. Dan also did work on making the boss scene even better and sexier with lighting and bloomage. Speaking off lighting we have a new mechanic in the Air temple that makes the player explore at our pace by placing them in a completely black corridor and we have a new plant that looks like a dandilion but the seeds float off and emit light that guide the way for the player. More on this in the future! Music Corner
