Team Report - 05/12/19

This week good progress has been made on pre-production for the game.

Josh (Tech Art) has researched the shader that we need in order to create the effect of scanning the room after the object has been put down in addition to creating the logo for Fossil Clock.

Lewis has refactored the code from the prototype to a more useable state, which included completely redesigning the VR interaction system. He has also outlined a timeline plan for the game.

Connor has created the mood board for different areas of the house.

Rhys has created a story plan for the game as well as a list of items that we need for the house.

Adrian has created a logo for the game itself.

Design Point - VR Locomotion

As our game takes place within a house we needed to develop a locomotion (movement) system that allowed the player to move around the house freely, in order to complete the various tasks within the game. One of our main challenges was developing a movement system that achieved two main objectives: The player must be able to move intuitively through the environment The movement must not make the player feel motion sick, which is a common problem that can occur with VR Motion.  Teleporting Our initial idea was to implement a teleportation based movement system that moved the player from one point to another, this locomotion method has been used in many VR games such as Budget Cuts, The Lab and most recently Half Life: Alyx.  VR Teleportation  - from Budget Cuts This system bypasses most peoples feeling of motion sickness because they are not moving through the world. However, we felt that this system would not work well with our game because the player mig...

Team Report - 19/03/2020

Progress on the assignment has hit a roadblock this week as lecture sessions are no longer able to continue due to the coronavirus outbreak. Despite the challenges this has caused, the majority of the team has continued well on the assignment and progress continues to be made. The majority of the work from the last 2 weeks was spent on catching up on tasks that were leftover from the Game Jam and fixing issues that came up during it. Rhys has assembled the house scenes, combining the 3D models and scripts to create the final working scene. Lewis worked to improve upon the system that Connor created to allow the game to create an effect pulse from the player screaming into their microphone as well as fixing a number of bugs that were found during testing. Other team members were busy with dealing with the coronavirus outbreak during these weeks so did not complete any tasks

Team Report - 14/01/2020

During the Christmas break, very little work was done on the project. It was intended that team members could use this time to catch up on any work that they were not able to complete during the initial few weeks. The only tasks outstanding during this time were: Adrain - Complete the Whitebox of the house Josh - Work on the shader and make it take multiple points in the world, rather than the current single point. During the break, Adrain completed the house Whitebox, but Josh made no progress on the shader. Additionally, Lewis made some small improvements to the Job System.
