Fall Week 11 Worklog

11/6/2024

Not really a whole lot to say about today's work session, mostly just chipped away more at the Press 'N Hold stage model and started UV unwrapping. In total I worked for about 4 or so hours, a bit shorter than the other class work sessions but that's because we had an event that took away an hour from class.

I'm hoping to finish Press 'N Hold's entire stage layout next work session and either get more into UV unwrapping or finish up the subway's model... probably the latter since that due date's coming up.

Excuse the pixelization, it's only because these models are huge coming in from Unity and maya does not like that.

...And I didn't do anything else this week! It was a bit of a rough week for me unfortunately, so this is all I got for week 11.

Fall Week 5 Worklog 9/29/2024 Finally getting my grubby little hands into the game engine. My goal for this week was to get a basic player controller and camera working while. Ultimately I decided that it'd be neat to have the player character flip like they do in paper mario as opposed to having the characters just billboard depending on camera view. Ironically I feel with the billboarding effect I was initially wanting to go for it'd be hard to get a sense of depth/position. Doc's actual sprite animations aren't done, so for now I just have a placeholder Doclet. While the flipping mechanic worked, I noticed the walk animation activating upon landing as well as my movements being a bit floaty feeling with this first go at things so I needed to play around and research more, but hey it was a start at least. 10/2/2024 So this week was basically mostly dedicated to getting the player movement controller refined. Did I succeed by my internal due date? No not at all I got...

Fall Week 8 Worklog 10/16/2024 - Cloudskipper Greyboxing With my player controller and such FINALLY in a working state, I began working on putting together some rough modular assets to greybox out the cloudskipper level. I want this level to feel surreal and liminal in nature, I'm pulling from a lot of surrealist and weirdcore/dreamcore artwork and photos when thinking of how this thing should be structured. While getting the basic modular pieces made and beginning to assemble the stage I realized another really good source I could try to pull from for this would be Mario 64, as many of the levels in that game have that sort of aura I'm going for with the Cloudskipper level(s... If I have the time). That'll be something I do later this week though. For now I don't really have much to say aside from I spent today's work period (roughly 5ish hours give or take) learning and playing around with probuilder in Unity, creating some structures with those tools, and I beg...

Fall Week 4 Worklog: Visdev 9/28/2024 Not a whole lot to talk about, mostly just been putting together my pitch presentation and finalizing the production schedule. Aside from that I've been chipping away at some visdev stuff as I've worked on that, have a look! Concept art for Press 'N Hold! …This thing took a stupid amount of time because I thought "oh if I just do it in my painting style this'll be quick". I was wrong <3 This is why we thumbnail!! A thing I love forgetting to do for whatever reason, you'd think I'd learn by now. // Inital sketch and WIP. Spot the differences lol Cloudskipper Oh god this one , heeeey so remember that Chase level concept? Well itsssss this now! I decided to shift gears and focus on making it a short platforming level. Admittedly I am still on the fence about this level's aesthetic. Originally I was leaning towards some sort of dark factory/facility where you'd have to evade a monster that's constantly...
