Study week 7

3 March - AI stuff added, enable/disable blur, sound and ambient music with i, o and p. Final pres

4 March  - Final presentation, more glow sources, portal rotation quickfix, distortion effects when colliding with monster, cleaned up repo.

5 March - before lunch: last touches to final presentation, after lunch: actual presentation

7 March - Going through git repo and doing a bunch of long overdue blog posts.

Study week 6

24 feb - working on glow, improved node loading, postional audio fixed, positional volume started

26 feb - started final presentation, fps controls fixed, portal pairs added

28 feb - insanity meter and agressive behaviour initial add, final presentation, multiple portals, ambient background music added.

Study week 5

17 feb - finished reorganizing modules to stop constant merge conflicts

18-19 feb - keep programming modules

19 feb  - guest lecture

21 feb - positional audio kind of working, nodes with json files

study week 4

10/2/2014 - 9:00 - 12:00

Presentation

12/2/2014 - 10:00 - 13:00

Programmed on various modules

17/2/2014 - 10:00 - 12:30

Reorganized our modules

Group Meeting

3/2/2014 - 10:00 - 15:00

Studying literature - Planning - Starting working in unity

Axel: Multimedia

Vasileios : Level- Maze Drawing, some textures, testing

Mattias: Player first person controller (walking-jump-looking)I

Guillermo: Portal physics

Group Meeting

5/2/2014 - 13:00 - 16:30

Planning of mid-course presentation.

Axel: Added sound effect to the monster (when the player looks at the monster)

Vasileios: Added the monster, experimenting with shaders, “hack” render to texture, dynamic radial blurring (increasing intensity as the player looks at the monster), mirror rendering (Individual work 7/2 , 8/2, to finish radial blurring, mirror rendering)

Guillermo: Non euclidean space, portal physics

Mattias: Added dynamic creation of nodes for use in pathfinding by moving a collider around the level and checking for the locations of walls and corridors.

Group Meeting

9/2/2014 - 13:00 - 16:30

Mid-course presentation final planning, wrapping up, merging jobs in unity

Group Meeting

31/1/2014 - 10:00 - 15:30

Project Plan - Individual Extensions

Presentation

1/29/2014 14:00 - 14:20

- Concept : First person horror escape adventure in non euclidean space (maze)

- Purpose : Escape the maze through non euclidean space and against increasing difficulty over time (AI, space)

- Non euclidean space (Antichamber, http://jayisgames.com/games/feign/ ) to give false perception and make it difficult and frustrating for the user to escape.

- Al (monsters) , path finding in the non euclidean space, time dependency (maybe become faster or more intelligent/aggresive over time)

- Difficulty rises over time, better AI , darker lighting, spatial changes, music more dramatic (amnesia: heavy breathing, motion blurring, sanity meter, reset time)

- Sound cues attached on the monst

- Scene : abandoned house/mansion, maze, narrow paths, small rooms, few objects to interact (flashlight, matches), minor puzzles just to escape some doors (keys, chests)

UNITY

- Software engineering: Object oriented, extensions, components, c# (Matthias)

- Graphics : 3d modeling of monsters, rooms, drawing scene, lighting, textures (Vasileios)

- AI : monster pathfinding in non euclidean space, aggressiveness, spatial changes etc

- Non euclidean space (physics): Varying camera position as we rotate it, (portal effect)  (Guillermo)

- Multimedia: Sound cues, Effects, Music adapting to the atmosphere and getting more dramatic as time passes…  (Axel)

Feedback

- Rendering from multiple cameras , skyboxes, cameras with different settings

- Effects that present non-euclidean space

- Map editor

- Dynamic lighting - shaders

- full screen shaders depending on time, visual effects

→ separate graphics effects

→ dinamic sounds

→ adapt gameplay to the changes
