Characters and nearly ready station

Heya! Status update: 

Ilja has been modeling our main character, and it is looking great. We unanimously decided to use this model as our protagonist. Also, Johannes made that cool robodude down there.

Kalle has been building our space station in Sketch Up and in Unity. It's looking pretty awesome, if I may say so! Next we need to texture it and all the assets.

Here's a chair made by Johannes. We can use these all around the station, although it has kind of command center'ish look, doesn't it.

And finally here're few candidates for textures (downloaded from textures.com). They have been modified slightly by resizing them (256 / 512 / 1024 / 2048 pixels) and by making them seamless (if they weren't already).

Guess what - more assets!

We finally got new assignments for sprint no. 4 and even for sprint no. 5! Next we will concentrate on character modeling and texturing our assets. Everyone is going to model their version of our main character - because that's the assignment, everyone models a character - and we will pick the best one for our game. The thing is, our game kind of has only one character. Deadline: next Wednesday.

Anyhow, here are some of the new assets:

The end of sprint no. 3

The end of the third sprint is near so here's our progress report: Group assignments were to model our game world (terrain/spaces and different 3D-elements) and that's what we've done. Some of our work you can find in earlier blog posts and here are few new thingies.

Rooms, assets and things!

Things are rolling forward and they start to look kind of good! Soon we'll have enough material so that we can begin to assemble our game together in Unity. Or first version of it at least. Ilja has updated the story a bit and others have made few rooms/spaces and assets. Pics below.

On our weekly meeting we decided... to model more assets. Our current sprint ends on Tuesday and we've got things pretty nicely covered. Everyone needs to model a simple character though, but that's a solo assignment.

Refining ideas!

Yo ho! Breaking news, we have narrowed our game ideas and themes down to one: Amnesia in space station! (And by amnesia we don't mean Amnesia the game, we mean amnesia the I-can't-remember-anything thing).

On yesterday's group meeting we tossed around ideas about the story and possible locations on space station. Lot of things are still somewhat open and they will depend on whether we manage to overcome our lack of coding skills in Unity or not (for example camera and possible puzzles etc.). After all, this is a school project and we all are artists, not coders.

Anyways, next steps are:

• Ilja refines the story and possible puzzles
• Juuso, Joonas and Maria makes more assets
• Johannes and Kalle models rooms, corridors and other spaces

Here are few latest concepts (made with Blender, SketchUp and Photoshop):

See you after Wednesday!
