What changed

0 fixes0 additions1 change0 removals
  • Gameplay
changedThe tool utilizes grammar graphs and rules to create a level layout and outputs a file that unreal can then load and represent in a scene. This allows us not only to create a layout for the level, but also gameplay such as placing keys that unlocks other rooms or boss rooms. A outsourcing team using Houdini are creating room templates for us to use, this allows for a lot of variations in rooms as shown below: https://www.doubledoorgame.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wk4_interiorGeneration.gif Hopefully the tool will be complete soon so we can share more about its results! The next post we will show off some early gameplay of the game, showing off some very early prototypes we made. Have a good flight captain, Dave Ruptash Lead Programmer Team Double Doors Liking us on Social Media, sharing our posts, etc help us grow and reach a bigger audience.
