This week I started working in Unreal again. This time I wanted to play around with editing a scene and getting more experience creating a moody scene. Ultimately I want to be able to set up a scene to create either an arena shooter or a horde mode type game. I think this will be my ultimate goal after this month. The upcoming weeks I will be out of town and with out a development computer so I am going to try and keep a book of design ideas and try to fill up. I think will help with the process of going from an idea to a prototype in a quicker manner.
The scene I have started to create this week is coming along nicely and has a simple first person camera with movement to explore the scene. The skybox is a little to bright and blue for the sake of the scene which I hope to change out later but the post processing effects really do give the over all scene a nice dark and rainy feel. I did realize that even adding some small elements like rocks give the player some direction as to were they have been and where they are going and even can use them to give a large contrast against a background. Even just as a small detail, they add a lot of life to a scene. After trying to added some rain puddles I ended up finding a bug with Unreal and possibly have to restart over. I am sort of glad though so I can actually start design on a full level set up for either the arena shooter or the horde mode. Hopefully over the few weeks I can get some sketches done for the design and implement them in.
