Level Design

This week on level design, I worked on;

• Lightmaps - lowering lighting resolution to reduce lag and to make sure everything is green as much as possible

• Collector's Room - added collector'[s cabinet and made placement blockout of a seat

• Basement - adding finished models into the basement scenery as well as adding an area of interest for the player to follow

UI Design

This week, I also worked on my UI Design;

• New Stamina Bar UI - Designed in Adobe XD using one of the Stamina Bar UI concept made by Daniel

• Battery UI Animation - Using different states of the battery images, i created an animation in UE4 for the player to know when to recharge the battery

Games Scripting

Games Scripting completed list

• Random Model - This allowed me to place models that have more than one material in order to be randomised each time

• Random Ball/Cube - Randomises ball colour and size however, only random cube has random rotation

• Punching Bags - I've added a remodel of the punching bag and reattached the physics behind the blueprint

• Handprints on pushing object - Added handprint decals on pushing object

• Crank Flashlight - used IES textures on flashlight to make it look more real

• Ladder - created blueprint with using existing script

• Adding Font - imported font which has some line height issues

• Cube Physics - developing a new cube physics blueprint with a letter cube style and new font for cube puzzle

• Vent Limit - This was made to limit player's movement to only crouching with no sprint in the vents

• Light Swap - this blueprint was made to allow for light customisation and interact with doors

• Lights States - this was made to make simple changes of lights flickering or turning off/on

• Door Key - This door blueprint made to incorporate player interaction with locked doors

• Pressure Plates - this was made for the player to push cubes to the pressure plates to open locked doors

• Pushing1frameAnim - this was edited from the pushing animation and instead keeping the last frame for the player to push hold when interacting with the cube

Progress
