block after block after block..

So today after I posted this morning ive been working on the finished version of the level map.. the temple part took hours but now its finally done it looks quite good :)

Updation to the nation!

So ive now got 2 minutes of the trailer done, for 2 minutes it doesn't show alot however its perfectly timed to music so the viewer wont get bored.. i hope

Ive now found myself lost so i spent this morning working out exactly whats coming next in the trailer and with the hand in being in a month im starting to get abit scared..

Environments was my next big step for the trailer, it is vital to the trailer to have a good solid environment piece, something ive never focused on heavily in past modules in uni etc so i came up with this level mock up which im working on today

Update

Im currently having issues with uploading what ive done to this point as the files are either 8GB or unsupported by blogger but at this point ive timed tested to appear to a song called "HERO" is a drunk and base song remix that builds dramatically in a way.. ive timed the following script text:

I have also animated the 11 characters flying into sight in time with the music which has been a long process of setting up roughly in Sony Vegas and then working over it in AdobeEffects and then placing back into Vegas too add the music...

Im currently working the character select screen for the trailer which will be chopped up into PNGs for animating AfterEffects which im working on today!

"business trip"

So a week or so ago I went to the best place for ways to show of a game..

GamesCom
The experience was incredible and the environment was mindblowing! so many IPs and new ideas and titles in one place, Im currently trying to retrieve my photos taken but my phone micro sd seems to be corrupt :(

From this experience ive learnt that to really get across to the player and idea it needs to be bold, fast and perfectly structured around a song of music that relates to the emotion of the game..

It feels like a while...

So its been a couple of weeks since I've last posted anything so its time to update!

So during this time I've been up too the following:

• Took a "business trip"

• Creating a script for intro too the trailer which will explain the narrative

• Finding music that will fit the trailer and also be the guideline for the trailer

• Creating PNGs of characters and chosen intro sections

• Animating on Sony Vegas and Adobe AfterEffects

• Setting up character selection screen

• Creating PNGs of above point

Side Scrolling example

So now Ive animated the sidescrolling aspect of this, however when doing this i realized its going to be impossible to make this character run.. the cat like legs will be a challenge to animate which would take up too much time so im going to use this as a game play example for the trailer the more i have the better

Side Scroll Pieces

Next I wanted to move onto animating a gameplay example, choosing Hale once more I drew up a side profile of Hale and then placed them together in AfterEffects ready to animate..
