Spent time creating and writing the stories for the items and objects that would flesh out the lore of the level. I think I have enough for the player to figure out what is going on and even see what is going on in the kingdom they are within. Played with the lighting as well.Continue reading "Writing swords"

Finished off adding the decals to the existing rooms. Really makes everything look nasty, I am glad with how much texture it adds. Upon some research with how to delay the spawning of the character, I saw that with Unreal I had to basically figure out a way to trick the character into loading whenContinue reading "Technicalities"

After a lot of tests and experimenting I think the issue with the character going through the walls was because the sudden change in gravity would give enough force to move it so fast it phased through walls. To fix this I instead made sure the gravity changed over the same period of time thatContinue reading "Down and dirty"

To make it more clear that the flowers are affecting the castle, I added light functionality that turns the brightness up or down. That way it shows when the flowers are "on" or "off." Went to all the rooms and added flowers to make sure they were reachable in every configuration of the room. WhileContinue reading "Flower power"

My issue with the keyboard images is that they don't have pictures for the numpad keys, so either I have to create new ones to match the current looks or make sure thatContinue reading "New image prompts!"

Added two new rooms. Each one with an interesting shape. The asset I am using has nice modular pieces that allow for fun customization while piecing together very nicely. Instead of working the way I had been this past week, I made it easier on myself. I first create the room on a flat plane,Continue reading "New rooms"

Building the castle is hurting my brain quite a bit because I have made it have so many different perspectives based on the room. I didn't think I would be adding furniture at first but I came up with a story explanation as to why they don't fall, and anyway it is a weird castleContinue reading "Dizzying perspective"

There was a lot of technical things I had to figure out and experiment with to get this level to work. Having an entire stage flip over and over again is difficult, and when I do have the whole thing built I'm not so sure if it will even turn smoothly. For now that hasn'tContinue reading "Shifting Castle"
