I created my first unique Metahuman. I am into the beta of this new revolutionary technology made by Unreal Engine and that I will use for some of the characters in WOK. https://youtu.be/WtqLKjthHhw
The general UI and the menus are working While some of the menus are still not active, the Settings, pause in game (P Key) and loading level are implemented. Most of the graphic settings are working, which give the option to test the speed of the game with many configuration. High end graphic cards are supported with options like DLSS or Raytracing. Here is a video showing the game loading settings and in general user interface. Note that the video […]
I have almost finished Slum Ville; the city where anyone can rent a room for free! That’s is the small village where newbies can find a room, even with Rank 0. Lot of assets, and it needs some serious optimization. Everything is moving with the wind (clothes, trees, plastics). The night is also looking good with EIS lightning. Enjoy some pictures.
Foliage, rocks, debris and trees! Thanks to the Unreal Foliage Spawners, I can easily create a complete procedural island with millions of small details that would be impossible to create manually. This is for example the ground view from the top. See how much details, and the island is more than 4 km2! The tropical Jungle is totally covering the mountains, and on the flat areas, there is space to build homes, business and buildings. Roads will connect them soon. […]
Welcome to this 2nd update. I have decided to use Advanced Locomotion System, a free asset since Epic has hired the developer. This is an amazing asset, and it convinced me to change the point and click system that I was thinking when writing the white paper to a more addictive third person locomotion system. Finally I have finished the island landscape. After testing having two maps stitched together, I ended up keeping only one. It is running faster, takes […]
Update February 2021. I am re-starting this project on Unreal 3d Engine by EPIC. I am so much satisfied by what I get from this engine so far! It seems that everything you throw at it doesn’t matter, it stay quick and smooth all the time. It is like playing with magic, compared with other technologies I have used before. This month I have mainly evaluated assets and selected the ones that will be used to do the foundations of […]
This is crazy times! I started this project 4 years ago with Unity, and stopped it when Unity broke the compatibility for their new rendering system. I worked in the crypto currency field, making some smart contract with Ethereum and then finally creating Kryptofranc with Jean Martial Lefranc in 2019. It is our own block chain based on Bitcoin of course, but which has its own unique characteristics. Now is the time were things are getting real. I have secured […]
#unity3d #unity #gamedev #ue4 I stopped the development of this game because I was busy on several project in the crypto currency world. 6 Month after I want to resume the development. Here how my game is looking after the upgrade to Unity 2017.3 To be honest I didn’t see it coming. I used to work in C++ on PC/Atari or console, and I never relied on something that would become obsolete in […]
Lot of things have been improved. I use a new terrain shader based on texture arrays, which allow me to have 16 textures at the speed of the normal Unity terrain, and water puddles easy to sync with rain for example. I also start working on the Buildings. Most of the buildings in the video are for the Elite members (the ones who are paying) another video will feature the normal buildings which are very different! Enjoy the video and […]
Here we are, the Milestone 1 is released. I am so excited to move to the next stage which will feature the NPC characters, dialog system, the weapon system and the main buildings. What is included in this demo? You get 1 terrain ( the game features 17) with a lake and some basic power buildings and antenna but is mainly: the jungle! The environment is a very important part of the game. You can change the time with a slider […]
