Super Smash Bros 4 - Pac Man


The above game trailer is from the upcoming anticipated game Super Smash Bros 4.  Playing super smash Bros for the past  few years, I have come to love this game as it  provides one of the best platforms  to compete. I have chosen this specific trailer because they have introduces Pac Man, an iconic character that has been in the industries for years. Every genration of gamer has  known about him since 1980s and has come to love the character. I for one was super excited about it when i first saw this trailer, because I wanted to see what would the developers have planned for the character that started it all.. Given the in game play action of this trailer, the developers have shown  the different types of powers he has, from taking his  well known form  of a yellow ball to  summoning  other  iconic characters to aid him to win. The rules of the game is simple, the winning condition is  the winning character is shown  in front with pride and satisfaction and the loosing condition is  all the loosing team are shown in the back. Analyzing  the trailer, it would be obvious as to why the developers are showing Pac Mans  strengths. Its mainly because  since they are introducing him  it would not get the gamers exited if Pac man would only retain his original goal of eating dots and  Cherries, which would typically not work well for the game. However, distinguishing  between the Pac Man trailer versus numerous other ones, I believe that the  developers have done justice in introducing an iconic character, as the above trailer  gives the gamer enough information about the character such as, his strengths, his abilities and when he was first introduced to the industry.

Particles Refrence and Tutorial!!!!!!!!

Hey guys! For this post, I am excited to announce that I have been learning particles in Unreal Engine 4. And i have to say I have learned alot and enjoyed learning particle this far.  When i first started learning them, I thought they would be complicated, but the statement prooved to be false and was surperised how easy it was to understand them and apply them. After practicing through the tutorials I have learned  all the different types of particles, such as, emitter particle effects, HUD emitter particle effects, Mesh particles, Ribbon particles,  animation curve particles. Anyway, continuing the current assignment, i had to do some research on what kind of a particle do I need to work on and how I can apply that to my other collaborative project of the racing level. And the answer to that was kinda obvious. since i wanted to  have a sand storm in my level, I decided to peruse the sand storm effect. I looked at few real life references and few game ones....

PONG - Aracade Hits

For my programming class we created PONG  with a little bit of twist. We were paired in a team of two . and we assigned ourselves  a role of a programmer and the other a role of  of effects/ art. I had assumed of the former.  My first goal was to make the  game of pong look like  an old school pong that people can relate to. There fore Black and  white was the color scheme that i went with.  My main goal was to focus on how effects as the effects would  get the players more interested in our game. After creating the color scheme. I wanted  to add a bit of the dramatic flare to it, thus i started making particle effects for the tail of the ball and the radial bursts. For the Trail. I applied a material with opeque properties and  applies it into the cascade UI required module. Following are the values that i changed. I had also disabled velocity so that the trail would look seamless. And for the  radial ...
