Exploring Projectiles- Choosing my ammo

In class we learned about three separate ways to create projectiles in Unreal Engine, Line Tracing, Spawn Projectile, and Spawn Physics actors, each tailored towards different types of weapons/other projectiles. For bullets, lasers and other more instantaneous-esc moment, line tracing proved to be the most effective, as it easily travels the fastest, but wouldn't be as accurate a projectile system as the projectile spawning system. The projectile spawn system is just how it sounds, pre-built with "fake physics" that are less taxing on the game engine, and allow for simplistic additions to how they interact with the game environment, other actors, etc; though it can be difficult to implement true physics with this projectile and the nature of it being pre-built means that once you break it, it becomes difficult to repair. The last actor is more very adaptable, but has to be built from the ground up, the "spawn physics actor" puts any SM through the physics engine...

Boss ideas for adventure ideas

Above is the concept that I ended up going with. A giant Archdemon with fire attacks, massive strength, and wings. 1. Archdemon (Page 1) -General Idea/Theme: Giant monster -Visual Feedback: Roaring, the environment being destroyed, After you damage his hands enough, he will be knocked momentarily down to your level so you can wail on his head and "actually" damage him. -Movement Around the Space: mostly the giant, nearly screen sized enemy smashing down onto the player -Attacks: 1: Fist Smash: Heavy damage dealing AOE attack with growing shadows to show where they are going to land. 2: Flame Breath: Patterns of DOT flames. (Different colored flames will be different patterns) 3: Portals: Open up dark demonic portals in order to spawn in random enemies. Stepping on the portals will slow players but not damage them. -Three Stages: 1: Fight on the...

Trailer Analysis: Assassin's Creed II

The trailer I will be analyzing is the Assassins Creed 2 E3 trailer. My reasons for picking this as my favorite trailer, along with the one that I am planning on reviewing for in-class purposes are as follows: - Aesthetically beautiful - Builds and alludes to a bigger story while also focusing on the relation of our protagonist with the trailer's one off antagonist. - Actually shows off gameplay mechanics, weapons, and abilities, (such as freerunning and hiring "ladies of the night") in a more cinematic light. - We don't see our protagonist immediately, he is built up as this unseen force and therefore has a much bigger and frightening impact when we first see him tearing open a rich man's throat. - Excellent music and sound design that punctuate each major action of either the protagonist or those he is hunting. - Each shot shows off just a little bit more of the Italian renaissance world to show off the new environment the game's narrat...
