Blok 4 - Phase 1: Analyse

TECHNICAL ART:
Level Assets
I have lots and lots of low poly prefabs made which make up the map and the objects inside
the characters are made of standerd unity shapes.

I should sepparate these static enviroments and bake their shadows with shadowmasks.











I made my level assets like walls and ground static and then baked my shadows into them with object maps. this should stop my game from being to laggy. the movable object are still in realtime shadows



Lightning and shaders

I have a FlatLitShader aplied with no fancy lighting technuiqes or anything. all i have is a couple of standerd spotlights and a
directional light.I Should play with some lighting, quality and player options and also apply post processing.Here ar a couple of topics i worked on.
Topics:Color Spaces
I chose to render my color space in linear. it came acrros as the easiest way to make you game look bether and i did some resrach on how it works and it actualy aplies really well on my game
Lighting Settings
i now use a skybox instead of a color. this creates a nice ambient light in my scene
Quality Settings
I improved the pixel light count and disabled anti aliasing to later apply this as a post processing effect. i also finally figured out how to increase the shadow render distance. so the player will see all  the shadows in sight.
Forward vs Deferred Rendering
i chose to go with deferred a i am making a desktop game. and now i get to mess around with some lights without worrying to much.
HDR (high dynamic range)
I allowed HDR
Post-processing
to improve my current lightning in the scene i messed with a lot of settings in a post processing profile like antialiasing, motion blur, eye adaption, bloom, color grading and some extras like a vignette, chromatic aberration and grain.








VFX

What is my plan for designing & Producing a Visual Effect Sequence in Unity 3d
  • Which is suitable in your environment (focus on 'Credible Context')
For this enviroment i want to make a switch in the basement that turns of all lights in the hotel and makes it dark. this is suitable because the hiders would want to use this lever to hide themselfs better in the dark.
  • With a clear 'Cause & Effect'
The Cause is pulling the lever and the effect is that when the lever is pulled. some sparks apear(the Fuse box crashes) the lights go out and after a while the light turn back on
  • Include min. 3 'Fases' (for example flash - fire - smoke)
Sparks - darkness effect - flash
  • Optional: initiated by a scripted 'Trigger Event'
The event starts when the lever hits a specific trigger.
  • Constructed by min. 3 different Techniques (for example; Anim Sprite Sheet, Particles, UV Animation like texture panning, etc.)
Particles - Camera effect - Anim Sprite Sheet -
  • Using 'Alpha' masking, Blending modes like additive, etc. (Targa / PNG format)
In Shader forge i will create a custom shader for the sparks with a Targa format texture
  • The Visual Effect must include the factor 'Time' to create a credible / believable in-game integration (timing)
After a while the lights turn back on with a big flash

Blok 3 - Phase 4: Production

I worked a lot on my model which obviously took up the most time in my progress. this is my build finnished but it didnt fit in the render. you get the picture And i also worked a bit on my game design: blankets/kushens that arent static glass that breaks mirrors that work lights that go on and of (+ a power switch for the whole building) rope that works when you press start there will be a different scene each round all these scenes will alter slightly: objects are in different locations and there will be different themes. themes: random each round: different filters, guns, costumes per player: 70's pop, cops and robbers, enz. the seeker will always need to find a fixed amound of players.. lets say 5. but what if there are not enaugh players to fill the spots? well the seeker will then have to find objects in their place. so when there are 4 players. one will be the seeker and 3 will be hiders. the seeker then has to find 3 players and 2 items (maybe a milkb

Blok 4 - Phase 3: Execute Part 1

DETECT AND START ANIMATION First i created a script that detects when the collider its attached to colides with a collider with a specific tag: "Switch" it then changes parameters to switch aniamtions from idle to active. to prevent this from happening over and over again in a quick maner i added a cooldown so the players cant activatie te routine until the lights are back on secondly i created a fusbox with a working door and switch with corisponding joints to make them work. PARTICLE SPARK EFFECT but before i made the animations that get triggered when the switch is pullen if am first goin to focus on a sparks particle effect whten the lever is pulled. i made a new shader to eddit in shader Forge. i created a texture asset an connected it to a texture 2D and to emmision with Blend mode set to active I then created a sprite for a particle and created a particle effect after. with a bit of tweeking to the Shader force i started tweek
