Level Design Idea for Platform Game Assignment

Thinking about my level design, I was inspired by Mario,Kirby and Sonic games. Having grown up with Nintendos Super Mario Brothers games, I wanted to keep my level simple as well as entertaining. As I recalled playing levels from previous games, I started to add enemies/ monsters to my level that would pose obstacles for the players, to learn controls.

In my level, the player has set amount of time to move (currently I am thinking about approx 30- 45 seconds) to explore the controls. After the player covers a certain distance the screen will start scrolling towards the left of the level, motivating the player to jump over suspended platforms, collecting coins, defeating enemies or avoiding them (up to the player) , using portals and other game mechanics.

The screen scroller will adjust its speed over time to to pose a challenge to the player playing the game as he/ she start feeling comfortable with level, thus keeping the player on their toes.

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.

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 ...
