More Lighting...

So, I decided I liked the flames, and there will likely be braziers of flames/fire or candles and such throughout the dungeon, as such, i wanted to try some lighting to help add some "immersion" of sorts.

Now, this will take more work, but the general idea is there for "flicking lights"



The script essentially adjusts the intensity/bias/range of the the light source it's attached too, needs some work here but it stabilises out at the end somewhat.

Here's what happens when it goes wrong...

I decided to have a go at map making again, it's been a long time since I've had a crack at a new map editor/game engine. And what better engine that Terry! (The Terrain Metadata Editor). After quickly getting to grips with the editor I started making an overly large map for standard pitched battles. The editor boasts a huge plethora of assets to cater to a designers desires for theme/pacing/visuals and so on.

As such, I might cut the scope of the level down slightly, mainly so I can polish the level completely for final submission, but more so as I may have started too big, I don't want the player seeming to have lulls throughout the level with no enemies to kill, missions to complete and so on. For this weeks submission I have redesigned the first major scripted event section. I wanted the player to gather another small taste of what's to come, as such I didn't want the player to "keep heading north" through the level so I rearranged the original placement to change the route from the original level plan: The area above is not accessible to the player, as such I wanted to create a sense of security at the ...
