Gladiators of the arena 1 Survival

Overview: The story in Gladiators of the arena “Gladiator” will be about gladiators and focused on that but it will have little Components like Love, Treason and GORE(Agresivity) to make it more interesting and since we have the meshes for it. :rolleyes:

Main Characters:
Wife of Romilius: Octavia.
Main hero Centurion: Romilius.
Main evil dude or just enemy: Geta the emperor
Ludus trainer/Teacher: Cato.

Context: 209 A.D(After Christ) After Geta gets to be emperor about December that year…

Able to choose Easy Normal and Hard. For retards for normal ppl and for gods. XD

Story: 209 AD A new emperor happens, Geta ( check the roman naming system for families ) the brother is romilius, a centurion which is the hero of the movie, he is betrayed and carried in an ambush in the gallic zone near Lugdunum in 30 december secretly by his brother Geta the battle happens ending with roman defeat as it’s greatly outnumbered, ( nothing you can do it always ends like that ingame ). After the battle romilius dreams about the White horse he sees and his wife Octavia ( Big Bloom on snow bizarre ), And wakes up under barbarian hands.

After that Romilius it’s enslaved without Geta knowing, as barbarians want money and they like dirty barbarians won’t tell, he is brought to the roman province of Lugdunum, ( IDK if it was a province or what ) and so he is brought to a ludus where he meets Cato the gladiator master, ( ludus the one of the tutorial level ) But why will Geta want to betray his brother and all of that? We will know after wards.

It’s already 210 A.D. 1 january and Romilius it’s at the ludus trained if want to by the gladiator master Cato the brave, in the ludus of lugdnum,
What happends in the ludus is that Cato tests you after a conversation cato asking for wtf I am doing here, and cato replies all time you used to be centurion I know I know but you are just a slave now, if you don’t wanna be here I will test you if you defeat this gladiator you will survive and i’ll keep you if not then i’ll feed my lions with your meat. With rudis ( wooden gladius ).

(First arena michal arena)
First the players sees an execution. By the boss gladiator.
Time to fight first arena we use Arendt First arena, And you will fight against Team VS Team you being the evil ones ( for rome ) Like gladiator movie, ( Carthaginians against scipio blah blah ), Boudica against Roman legion of idk what legion was OMG ( search for it ) so you have a female in your team that you have to protect. So you protect her at all moments you defeat the 7 enemies because it’s 5 V 7. It’s 6 Murmillos and the boss, while you go with Celtic shield you are a secutor And so you have 1 thracian and 2 secutors and one Gladiatrix in the team.
You gain ppl love as they are barbarians ( gauls ).

Before hand boudica gets recruited in the ludus and theres a cutscene with all gladiators training and talking. Boudica with a tunic. odc with potato material
In this second arena you are going to fight a boss that you fought on the arena that you fought him already with special AI, this one called ( get a cool barbarian name ) hahaha roman remember me , you fought me it really happen you or your man defeated me now you will pay for what you’ve done to me.
Obelix ? heheeh like the comic… The second arena it’s going to be the always arena.
The health will show of Lurr. Yeah he is called lurr.

Remember freaking change the throwing system for T to while pressed throw stuff like invicta ( Dev note ).

Great Neongho! Your work is great mydear brother.

But for your game look even better, I want to give you a constructive criticism, if you permit me, off course.

The graphics are beatiful, especially the level environments. Even the characters models are good. But I think you should vary a bit more, they all look the same person. You could get some cheap 3D models from Unreak Market Place and use them (convert) to UDK.

Now the thing which realy needs to be improved are the characters animations. I downloaded bunch of free character animations here from Unreal Marketplace. I think there is even a swordsman animation set here on Unreal Marketplace you could you use for your game, and it would be even more beautiful. Believe me, MOCAP animations give an another level of realism to any game.

I suck at making animations from scratch, because this I use 100% MOCAP animations, the marjority were purchased, but some were done by me using a Kinect Camera.

Last but not least, are the cinematics. You have done a good job, but I think you can make it look trully epic, as a Gladiator’s Film,

The secret for compelling cinematics are the Camera Animations.

The way I do is getting some action scenes from games cutscenes, movies, and try to mimick the camera movement. Yes, you need to watch carefully paying attention to the camera movement, rotation, close ups, zooms, and try to replicate it in UDK Matinee.

In example the camera animation here was inspired in Kano’s X-Ray Move from Mortal Kombat X

My Fatality:

Kano’s X-Ray Move:

Hey Nidal your critics are welcome as anyone elses critics, no critics no vision…

Wow animations here look perfect in this mortal combat game!

Yes if animations were better that would be key… I copied the chivalry ones for combat and adapted them my way, but some others could be better work and patience i guess…

Let’s keep up the good work broooo :wink:

scratch another one!

So this is a overview of what happens in the first boss fight.

To simplify things both Romilius and Obelix happen to be already in the arena, Arendt arena, And Romilius starts saying hey barbarian we see each other again, And the barbarian says yes indeed, I know that you are the general blah blah, and so the barbarian has 400 of health and what you see it’s not the bar but messages that say that he is weekend and that dialogue saying ahh you hurt me son of a … whatever and so … and once you defeat him he goes crouch and ahhh and they want him dead but he does not kill him… and that’s it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrUN…9oo4yQnh_zrj08 the boss fight kinda unfinished and simplified a lot hehe

Watched the video. It’s good, but can be even better. Whenever they speak, you should make the camera focus on one, then another camera to focus on other character, alternating, this will give that cinematic feel to your game.

Good cutscenes can make a great difference (for better) to any game.

Awesome mate, yeah I’ll do that https://www.indiedb.com/games/gladia…otwo#mediaform here is a picture of last level in Rome : P. Roman coloseum !

Colisseum Update #12 New Colosseum last level on campaign And other stuff - YouTube Still in the works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nutV…ature=youtu.be New projectiles system stay away of the UDK UE4 typical projectile system if you want 100% precision.

Story time: So the boudica fight happens and you win, and afterwards they go to the ludus and they meet each other, “Stop talking slaves says the ludus master you are going to get sold” and all go to the new ludus in Rome and nothing else happens other than romilius gets sold and without boudica gets to the new ludus with new gladiator teammates which i dont want to enter into because that is complicated. REMINDER MAKE THE WHOLE STORY LATER HERE. for now finish something that is the plan. :o

The team fight 2 In Ferrata arena: What happens is that the gladiators will have to go through levels, in here you will be given the chance to have different gladiators like archers and swordman more forward, for now I keep it simple and you will go through levels and in the last level you will fight boudica and the boss again… Obelix why not? that can be fun they will be super strong… diff set to 1.0 if hard normal or easy… that is it.

Rome Ludus again: Write later this has to be very interesting…
