Orion Level, get more game play (Part2)

by D Fasel · 12/30/2011 (2:05 pm) · 9 comments

Hello Everyone, since my last post of Orion Level part1, i did a lot more. Im sure, it is no longer just a level :) I focus a bit more gameplay now. The more i work on Orion, the more i get the idea, how to make a funny game, from this level. This movie here shows you a bit more, what the game will be.


Here the movie :


What i did, the last weeks:
- Radar and compass system
- Game props like breakables and functions for the game
- a lot more 3D models
- some polishing

Looking awesome! It is amazing what lighting and affects can do!

Some things missing:
- ambient sounds, like engine noise and equipment noise
- foot steps, metal clang, etc
- music, everything sounds better with music, that is one of reasons I loved Doom was the music

Excellent work! More, more!!!

Daniel this is looking great so far! In particular I noticed the "cartoon" feel of the levels. Is this purely a result of the texture art? Also, is this what an alien casino would look like? :)

Great stuff.

@ Dan :

I don't noticed the "cartoon" feel :) What do you mean with "alien casino" ? I don't see any slot machine or such. The Ship just have a ship bar ... also the crew of the ship like to drink some thing. At moment the game content the orion 2020 ship and near the ship is a alien outpost, made in a asteroid. Maybe there i could make a room "alien casino" with some alien slot machine :))

@ Richard and Robert :

Ty for the post. The game got a lot more content, last week. I made a little quest. The player have to find 7 "warp-puls batterys. With this batterys the ship get the warp-drive back. Also i made a weapon inventory hud, so you can see witch weapons you have at the player.

I will show you more in my next blog:)

Hmmm... maybe it's the video. I saw walls that were a flat colour with dark pen line borders on the wall panels. It looked gorgeous btw, I like it. I call it a casino because casinos have colours everywhere but also a lot of shadows (I don't know why).

I have to say though, that you're a lot further in development than I am, but we're both making alien/sci-fi games.

My ace is that I'll have groovy music and space combat as well. :)

Keep up the excellent work Daniel.
