Project Development Analysis

-

 Status:

The current project focuses on creating a game titled 艺术回想 (Art Echoes), centered around rescuing disappearing classic art pieces from various countries and periods. The project has a clear concept, inspired by games like Dark Deception, and the gameplay involves navigating through levels based on different art styles while preserving significant cultural artworks.

Highlights:

  • Concept Development: A unique and engaging game idea has been finalized, which combines elements of art preservation with interactive gameplay.

  • Case Studies: Relevant case studies from games like Raji: An Ancient Epic, Never Alone, and Assassin's Creed: Origins have been analyzed to draw inspiration and validate the project's approach.

  • Research Topic: A clear research topic, objectives, and value of the research have been established, supporting the educational and cultural importance of the project.

Challenges:

  • Technical Feasibility: Implementing diverse art styles and cultural elements in the game within a limited timeframe may pose significant challenges, especially considering the complexity of accurately representing each style.

  • Resource Limitations: As a second-year student, managing the project with limited resources and technical expertise could lead to difficulties in executing the full scope of the project.

Risks:

  • Scope Creep: There's a risk of expanding the project beyond manageable limits, which could affect the quality and completion timeline.

  • Technical Barriers: Potential difficulties in coding, design, and integration of various artistic elements may delay the project.

Next Actions:

  • Prototype Development: Start with a simplified prototype focusing on one or two art styles to test the core gameplay mechanics.

  • Resource Allocation: Identify and allocate necessary resources, possibly seeking external assistance or simplifying certain aspects to stay within scope.

  • Iterative Testing: Conduct iterative testing with early builds to gather feedback and refine the game mechanics and design.

This approach will help manage the project efficiently, keeping it on track while addressing the key challenges and risks.

Creating a Portal System with Player Collision in Unity

Image
It all started when I randomly thought: Wouldn’t it be cool if I could make a scene where I walk through a portal into another world? Like literally, walk into one space and boom — you're somewhere completely different. I immediately thought of the game Portal , which has those awesome sci-fi doors you can go through and see what’s on the other side. So, that was my goal. Starting with What I Know: Modeling in C4D Since I’m already familiar with Cinema 4D , I figured I’d build the portal frame and some basic scene geometry there. Way faster than modeling inside Unity, and I could be more creative with the shapes. Once I had the basic portal built in C4D, I exported the models as and imported them into Unity. Luckily, that part was pretty smooth (just make sure your scale settings aren’t messed up!). .fbx YouTube to the Rescue 🎥 Then I thought, Has someone done this before in Unity? (Spoiler: of course they have). I searched YouTube and found a super helpful video: 👉 ...

Three Types of Scene Project

  After finishing my working portal with the smooth camera-following shader (yay!), I realized I still needed to build simpler prototype versions for my teacher — something quick and light to show how scene transitions could work, especially for computers that might not handle 3D and shaders well. So I made three different versions of scene switching, from super basic to silky smooth: Version 1: Boring Button Click (2D Image) This was the absolute easiest — I just: Made a simple UI button in Unity. Used on . SceneManager.LoadScene() OnClick() Put a 2D image background behind it. Not much interaction, but it gets the point across. You click → it loads a new scene. Honestly… kinda boring 😅 But it works, and it’s super light on performance — good for basic demonstrations or weaker computers. Version 2: Player Touches a Door → Transition This one was already more fun: Built a 3D door model in C4D and brought it into Unity. Placed a trigger collider in ...
