I just started working on a game (1-2 days ago), its going to be a RPG style game. If i continue with it for a long time im going to make it into a MMORPG. For now its just going to be a hobby-project.
Its going to be 3d person, but i havent rly implemented it yet. so just going with first person sofar. Really because i dont wanto watch a mechanic or just a grey block atm ^^
Ive only, and only focused on the terrain, enviroment, added some cheap sound i found. Started making the layout for the “spawn”, where our hero(s) begin their journey. Setting is spooky.
Its going to be a sort of creepy theme. Have something big planned, but dont wanto reveal too much as of now.
So yeah i made a small video walking around, and just wanted some feedback on how i am doing. Good or bad. And i want some pointers as to what i should do/change/add/remove. Thank you. And thanks for the awesome community
The forest looks fantastic how did you get the shadows?
I would advise using different foliage than the ones that come with unity though. I recognize the grass right off the bat. Also, whats inspiring you to build the game? And how will it be different from the others? Or is it just for practice and maybe you will think of what the game is eventually?
Looked at the youtube vid, looked really good. Started on a nice terrain, and all it needs now is an objective . Also how did you get those trees? I need a tree just like that but couldn’t make it. -_-
The shadows are just from Unity 3d (non-pro), so its not realtime shadows. Lightmapping with Hard shadows.
Yea i figure most do, hehe. Well i dont wanto use alot of $ right off the bat buying all sorts off assets. I have bought some essential that i needed tho… But ill get into swapping out the grass eventually.
A game idea ive had for couple of years now. always wishing someone would make it so i could play it, lol.
“Dammm, why have no one made a game of this yet!”
And i think i will share this enthusiasm with other people aswell…
But, i will not yet say what it is untill ive made some more for my project and things start to look a little bit more like a game.
Im making and also practicing, i know it might be a bad idea using a good idea and starting to make a game of it from the start, not having any experience yet. But im impatient and i dont wanto just make something im not passionate about.
Im probably going to make a new youtube channel and post updates as i go, IF i continue with it, and people seem to want more…
The trees i got from the asset store for 5$ i think, Pine Tree collection. Upscaled them alot and i also changed the spread and thickness of the leaves to make them cover more area to block out the sun, giving the forest the feeling i was going for.
If you want more people to follow the development I suggest updating your 1st post with a description of the game and how its different. Once you are comfortable in doing so. It will also help to continually update the 1st post so who ever lands on the thread doesn’t need to scroll down to the very last post for the latest news. Just some advice.
I’ve been looking for some good games to follow development. I hope you continue, good luck.
The lighting in that forest is really good - I love the oppressive shadows and the bright colourful patches where the sun breaks through. It’s not quite realistic as the leaves aren’t quite dense enough to block out that much light, but I prefer how you’ve done it! How did you do the sun beams? They’re very good.
Also, maybe consider putting in some lower shrubs/bushes or rocks, to increase the interest and to break up lines of sight.
-Probably will have a feature for going first person when it comes to that.
-Okay thanx, will look into it
-Thank you for tips! Sun beams are static.
And yea i need bushes and stuff. i just dont have alot of it yet Thanx.
Btw guys, Im encountering alot of problems in my project, and im finding it hard to figure things out my own just by google, fast that is anyway. So if anyone with some experience wanto help me out a little and chat it up, add me on skype: alxplx
If your not part of it yet, there’s a Skype group called Unity bar and grill that has a ton of users that can help. Send Charlie-Jorge Samways a friend invite and say you want in. My skype name is Luke.
. Also how did you get those trees? I need a tree just like that but couldn’t make it. -_-
