I keep on forgetting about this blog..... So here is a bit of what i have been/currently am working on.
Deliverables for what I missed:
I have decided to incorporate 2D with 3D for my final. I am going to play around with lighting, textures, coloring, and 3D layer aspects in AfterEffects to bring everything together in the end.
If the 3D does not mesh well enough my plan is to go full 2D.
I am currently turning my first version of the fall scene of the aqua dude into the full color and texture I want for the finished look.

Ascend game phase 3 deliverables
Last week our game had the opportunity to be seen by the game design class and received critiques. We listened to the criticism and considered how to improve our game based off it. The character was too dark and didn't show up easily so we changed the color palate and added an emissive map for the character to appear brighter. We also changed the headlights on the character to light more area around the character. We took in consideration of moving the camera so the character now moves along the lower third of the screen instead of in the center. This is also allowing us to fix something else that was brought up. We are now taking advantage of making a game in 3d space by adding more elements to the foreground to create more depth. Now we are currently working on allowing players to manually move the lights. We are also changing the idle animation position so more of the front is seen of the character.
Here you can see some of the updated visuals. There is still some work to be done on the emission map to make the character not look so washed out. You can also see a red dot or reticule; This is going to be where the light will point when everything is correctly put in kismet.
Here you can see the updated character color maps and see that the lights on her head are brighter due to the addition of the emission map.
Here in the animation tree there is a new node that allows for the head to be rotated based on the mouse input which will now allow players to illuminate and explore areas of their choosing more freely now.

Ascend Team Phase 3 deliverables
Phase 2 has begun construction. The platforms, basic environment, and architecture have been built in BSP (binary space partitioning).
Elements such as the DOF volume and lighting effects have been translated to the new level file including the animated character as well as new animations for moving boxes.
Programming puzzles for the level in kismet is currently being worked on.
Phase 1 is currently being refined resolving the issues of jump distance and speed including an issue with the character entering a gravity volume and floating up. The issue with the light not working correctly was fixed.
Issues with the character clipping through the environment are being resolved by changing the collision box to the mesh of the character from the skeleton of the character, and then fine tuning the size of the collision box to suit the game. All the doors are now textured and animated.
Particle effects were added throughout the level to help the illusion of 3D space and depth.
The character is now fully textured and this is being applied to the animated versions within the game.
Khalid: Constructed the new phase of the level and puzzle design.
Reid: New sounds found and mixed. New assets modeled.
Leif: New animations for the character moving box and cutscene completion.
Justin: Character textured. Troubleshooting
Andrew: Level polishing. Added particle effects. Fixed jump/kismet issues and refined depth of field.
Tasks to accomplish:
Get animations matched in the game engine.
Adjust sound levels.
Finish textures.
