New update inbound! as everyone knows i updated the the forum thread last week and the only thing i posted was the design document which is what i was working on that week. this week though is back to the project
so i bet everyone is interested to know whats going in with the project
well theres a lot to mention and show of. sadly once again i cant show of some of the stuff but i can link and reference tutorials that i have followed of course and that i have implemented within my level/game.
-
Cut scene at the start of the game using matinee which is the cut scene editor/maker in ue4. i followed a tutorial online in order to help me create it and thanks to one of my piers as well (Lewis Ahmed) i was able to create a cut scene that goes from outside and goes into the warehouse and whilst it does that the warehouse door is closing so when the player goes to that point in the game it will be closed. after its inside it goes to where the player spawns and faces the direction the player is in then the game starts and you can play. both features use matinee within the game and i feel confident now in using matinee in future projects and in hope to create more detailed cut scenes.
-
more detail in the level, i have been able to fully finish the inside of the warehouse. this is now what it looks like now. image 1 2 and 3 show the inside of the warehouse and image 4 the outside which still needs work on



- tutorial and names on important parts of the game. i created a text font to go on to the door blueprint and shows up in the game until the player interacts with the door once as its a tutorial door and it tells the player how to open doors. this is done by pressing e and once e is pressed it deletes the text font but if e is release then it stays meaning that the player needs to interact once with it. the image bellow shows it within the game
this is what i have been able to do within my game and the progress i have made over the time i have had on the project. next weeks update will be heavily update with new assets in that i will have got from turbosquid because the colleges computers Photoshop is not working so i can only create assets i cant texture them the way i would like to. bellow is the references for this weeks update.
