Meeting Tonight

Hey guys,
Just wanted to post a reminder that there is a meeting tonight at 7:30. Bring some food or snacks if you can (we'll be going to Kyle's again if I remember right) and let me know if you can't make it (425 681 5887). Meet in the student lounge.

Also bring your art!!

Hexagon

Here's the basic hexagon used in Unity for the tile grid: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12558999/Tile.mb

Heres my interface stuff...

A lot of the stuff that seems like I'm "adding stuff" is just that... but not for the game, for the class requirements. haha

and thats that!

Screenshots that I said I was going to post!

These are some screenshots from a game called Titan Quest. I thought they might be relevant because of what we want to do with forests/trees in the game.

It might be hard to see at first, but in all of these screenshots they manage to incorporate trees without encroaching on your view of the character or what's going on in the game.

GUI for class

I know you'll be seeing them in class, but I figured I'd post it on here as well. Nothing to special was just trying to figure out how to best outfit it to the web. Did anyone else feel that the homework was super vague?

poly counts

hey i was wondering if we had decided on poly counts for character models yet?

Creature/Monster Concepts

These are some initial creature and monster concepts that I did.

Olive 0.0.1

Here's a link to the first visualization of the hexagons: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12558999/Olive%200.0.1.html

Phone Numbers

First I'd like to apologize for the situation last night where Eric didn't make it to the meeting - we tried to contact you but didn't seem to have a proper way to. So to rectify that from happening in the future, here's some things we all need to do:

Comment on this post with the following information:

• Your Email
• Your Phone Number
• Any other ways we can contact you (IM, etc.)

Thanks. See you in class!

Some quick monsters before class

Hey guys just wanted to post this in case we need this added to our power point (might help round out the monster section.) I drew an idea for the 3 different types and one of each creature and monster, hope this helps/

elemental symbol design

these are still pretty rough. can anyone tell which one each represents? they are supposed to be elements

On behalf of ryan

you owe me ryan!

rough symbol

this is a rough symbol i thought i would use for the logo for the game. it is on my UIX homework. thought i would post it here see what people thought

FINALLY I post.

So, what I've been doing...

So, typeless creature number one... me and Ryan were lightly talking about maybe making the typeless monsters plant type, because they're from the forest. lol. This was also made before we decided on the overall shape of the creatures...

This one is me saying, "Hey, I wonder if I can make an enemy that doesn't look like an enemy..."
Needless to say... I dont really like it. lol

My girlfriend decided she wanted to draw Olive, so she gave me the drawing and I colored/shaded it. I know the hair needs to be longer and a bigger bow.













And thats it!! I'll be working on more creature stuff... OH, on that note all models are concept models, so... nothing permanent or that I'm dedicated too.

Just a reminder

Tonight we are meeting at my place to go over some things about the game. Remember to bring any sketches you have and whatnot. We will all meet at the school around 7:20-7:30ish (I take the bus from work so please be flexible.) in the student lounge.

I also got us some food to cook on the grill, however if any of you guys wanna help in bringing some chips or soda, or beer that would be greatly appreciated. I just hope none of you are vegans!

another option

these are two more options. if we can decide on something or things we like on the different designs, i can get started on the modeling process. perhaps we can figure it all out monday.

summer outfit

ideas for a summer outfit maybe

Character redesign. two quick options, with the military jacket. i didnt color the bow cause i dont know what the plan is. i will put up a few more soon

Late night and 4 cups of coffee later...

I was thinking more and more about the design of Olive and decided to give it another shot before I went to bed. This was a spin off of Grants idea with some slight nods. I was also thinking of a back story to help explain why olive looks that way she does.

Olive got her name due to her abnormally green colored hair (olive colored.) She also wears a bow to hold her long hair back, later on in the game play the center of the bow changes to the element that she is current attuned to (for example, the center might be a flame symbol, water symbol, or cloud symbol.) She wears her father's military jacket as a reminder of him when he is deployed; it is obviously way to big for her to wear but she loves it to death and refuses to take it off, even though her mom has gotten her nice dresses to wear just like the grown ups. Olive also carries around her sling bag, full of snacks, drinks, and other various materials. As a vent from reality Olive is constantly adventuring in the nearby forest (it will eventually become her inventory system housing her health potions, buffs, monsters, and other trinkets.) There in the forest, her imagination can really be let loose. She feels that while she is in the forest she does not have to worry about things like growing old, getting married, and eventually dying. Adventurous, curious, and courageous Olive while soon be tossed into a world in which her imagination becomes reality and the things she fears the most will be on the hunt for her.

some quick colors. i gotta get some more designs up. what do you guys like and want to keep with these, and what dont you ever want to see again.

reference over and over

hey guys this is some of the references I was mentioning earlier in our meeting. Wakfu has that artistic color style that I really want to try and reproduce in our game so check this out:

epic battle style:

characters:

concept art:

I would also look at how they manage their movement in the game as well as their battle system, it is tile based just like how we where kinda thinking and its just beautiful.

and now my early concepts:

art style

these pieces were my original sort of influences, along with that kells movie.

Here we go to break the ice!
