Feedback onm Game mechanic on Play testing of Quest for Conquest

In my previous class at Ringling college of art and design, every student participated in play testing their print and play version of their game. we had to team up with other 2 students and hand each of us were given a timeline of 30 minutes. 30 minutes were divided into the ration of 10 : 20. Where 10 minutes were given for the players to go through the instructions and setup of the game and 20 minutes for finsihing the game , played by other 2 players. The creator of the game was not allowed to help the players in the first 10 minutes, to see and recogonise the faults in the instruction booklet. I was gievn well directed feedback on my instruction booklet and was recommended to go back and make the instructions shorter and to the point. Another good suggestion that i was given was to add some diagrams and examples to clear out some of the gray areas so that the players would not feel lost while reading the play by play action.

Once the 10 minutes were up, the creator of the game could speak and help the players if they had any questions or doubts regarding their turns. Overall i had a positive feed back, that the concept of the game was fun, and the game was completed well under 20 minutes mark. However, some of the suggestions; such as place different monsters of the game closer to the goal, as well as include some sort of a reward for the player to beat the monster.

Based on the suggestions given, I feel that most of them were valid as I had observed that there were few extra elements need to be included in the game to make it more exciting.

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....

Interactive realistic water ripple effect with dissolving material

By Mayank Babbar Introduction: The original aim of this project was to have interactive water ripples with the player or any moving mesh in 3D space. To achieve this goal, I subdivided this project into the following 4 phases: Research. Process. Progress. Execution. Each of the above phases were treated as calculated time sensitive variables and were executed within the give time frame. Following is my timeline for each phase. Week Number Dates Phases 1 3/31 - 4/4 Research 2 4/7 – 4/11 Process - Progress 3 4/14 – 4/18 Progress -Execution 4 4/21 – 4/25 Execution- complete 5 4/28 – 5/2 Submit Phase 1: Research In this phase I researched on many games characters moving through water mesh. I took references from the uncharted series, Tomb raider and others. After observing how water would react, I looked for tutorials online. They are as follows.

Exploding Barrels and Turrets

As i approached this assignment to make exploding barrels and turrets I was mainly inspired by Michel Bay. In the following video, You will see how the turrets detect the players location and aim the barrel basing on approximation of distance and weight Following are the series o of pictures that show how I created exploding barrels, Turrets and how they interact with the player Exploding Barrels : Component Editor As you can see In the component editor, I have the mesh, The sound The rout ( Sphere) and the particles for explosion and The particles for smoke. All of these components play an Important role in the graph editor. Graph Editor: Following is how I approached creating the exploding barrel as it interacts with the car. Devideing the smoke and the explosion into 2 different sections Note: For the smoke section: we connect the delay to the explosion section In the following continues only for the e...
