Our Latest Asset Apocalyptic City (W.I.P) Feed back would be great.

These web players are showing the asset at 50% complete

I have uploaded three builds ( Low range PC / Mid Range PC / Mobile )

Low range PC and Mobile are Built with pro features off to show Unity free users What to expect
Mid range PC is running real time shadows with no light mapping

Mobile (TEGRA / SNAPDRAGON)

once you have tested these Please let me know what you think so far
remember this asset is not yet complete.

Also I am adding sky scrapers

the building were interesting and the lights were really cool! how did you do that? Also another question, will you make the buildings playable? Like allowing the players to go in to the building, it would be amazing if you add that.

I could do it with a couple of buildings but not to many as i think an asset like this would be use for big levels and doing that to all buildings would
cause overdraw performance issues.
as you can see from the web player this is a highly optimized asset.

the lighting was done by a mesh i created in blender then textured to simulate light beams then used a particle shader to light it.
doing it this way was better for performance then a post FX. :slight_smile:

nice job keep up the great work, dk why no one is commenting on this thread…

not many people comment on forum posts.
All the post with loads of comments have usually been about for a while the amount of comments on this thread is about average.

Here’s a high quality (1920x1080) screenshot for the curious

OK onto my feedback,

I really like where this is going and will be following the thread and offering my honest feedback. So far it looks great but it does need some work, here are my criticisms

  • There is a lack of proper interiors, add interiors with stairs upto the upper floors into your buildings and add in props to make it look like it was once lived in. the small details is where all the life is

  • There needs to be more variation in the buildings, currently it looks like the same building copy pasted. There needs to be bars, stores, gas station, fully accessible sky scrapers. THEN you will really be talking.

  • Change the sky, the skybox texture is low resolution, if you want to go for an overgrown look go for a bright clear sunny day, or if your going for the darker look a brownish hue’d sky. add in some faint global fog to simulate dust

I look forward to seeing more progress

I agree with you 100% when it comes to adding in stairs interiors but the reason we left those out is because this would increase the tris count
and as we are trying to get this released for mobile platform as well as pc this would be a bad idea.
this being said we will make a stair case to give people the option to add them in.

i have said earlier in this thread that we do have more buildings modeled but not textured new screen shots will be uploaded tomorrow.
and as i said in the previous post i will make some buildings accessible.

i will use this idear and release multiple demo scene with different lighting

All this being said we don’t want over do this package as we want to keep it as far under the $100 mark as possible and at a reasonable download size also we will be releasing updates.

iv got some feedback WOW another awesome asset :smile:

In this update we have added a few things.

  • A new building.
  • New building exteners ( Stack-able Roofs ) to give you the option to create sky scrapers.
  • A gas station (thanks to Chaoss for the idea).

Tomorow we will be adding

  • Benches
  • A Park
  • More Buildings With extenders
  • A diner

The screens



nice texturing skill

its quite easy when everything has to have the same look and feel.
if it wasn’t a rundown city it would of been allot harder. :slight_smile:

The asset is almost complete and we think you will be happy with what we have done
we will be sending it off to the asset store soon.

i will update the last lot of screens later on today then the next time we will post to this thread is on release

thanks for all of your comments and and Poll votes and anyone who subscribed to this thread :smile:

A request: can you provide interiors to all relevant areas? Not necessarily the details, even if you just box it out and its empty space inside, but just so its ready for interiors to be added where the buildings could be entered.

as this is an open world style package i don’t want to add to many objects or to much mesh
but what i could do is create separate building interiors but this will require loading on entering a building
and i could add some basic interiors

Would this be sufficient?

EDIT

what i will do is create around 30 modular pieces so the user can create there own building layout
i will texture these to match the rundown environment.

I have created 31 modular pieces these will now be textured and added to the package.

Apart from what we got left to finish this will be the last thing we will be adding as we would like to release this asset
at around $45

EDIT:
I should pay attention more and actually read all the posts.

I got you original message in my email lol .

yes when we have our Set Builder asset on sale this will be to but im not sure wether it will go down to $15 maby around £30

I would be interested in buying these as I have already purchased two of your packs: Temple and Back Street Manhattan. However, both of those packs have already dropped down to $15 from $25 and $35.

I am hesitant to purchase any more your products, especially on release, particularly when your prices get cut in half just a few weeks after release.

i am sorry to hear this the reason for the price change is that these packages are on sale at the moment and the sale will be ending on Monday or Tuesday.

the packs did now show they were on sale as unity did not allow us to do this.

as you have purchased 2 of our packs i would like to do something to keep you a happy costumer could you PM me the invoice numbers for both purchases and i will see what i can do for you:)

This below Image shows some of our modular tiles for interior creation.:wink:
you will soon be able to see the entire asset when released.

What we have left to do.

  • Crate interior props ( tables / light Fixtures /chairs / cupboards ) and so on.
    • Create an awesome web-player.
    • Create the YouTube video.
    • Create the documentation ( mobile optimization guide ) and so on.
    • Submit to the asset store
