The brief for our current project, Podlife, restricted all audio assets in that they could only be created from the human voice. This presented an interesting challenge as the design was heavily reliant on audio, specifically convincing whale songs for the player to mimic. The main reference for the audio were tracks of […]
To create an underwater scene I had previously looked at using light cookies to simulate water caustics. The effect was successful but after some tinkering I’ve managed to improve on the overall effect immensely by recreating the textures and using multiple animations. The single texture I originally used was created with diffused cloud and carious filtering effects […]
In an attempt to create some placeholder art and develop my hard skills I received some teachings from my colleague Dineth and dived into the abyss that is 3ds Max and learned how to use the basic tools for 3D modelling. The first that hit me in face was the daunting plethora of buttons and […]
I recently got the chance to spend a couple hours with a colleague to pass on my small wealth of knowledge about Adobe Audition and how to go about using some simple post processing effects to augment the human voice into SFX. You can read the results on his blog. We started with some raw audio tracks […]
My team is currently working on a game set underwater involving whales and their vocal interactions. Making the game actually look and feel like it is underwater is key to delivering the aesthetic experience we intend, making lighting extremely important. I’d looked into various techniques to simulate under water and found that there are many solutions […]
Titan Tussle, being a arena combat game, almost couldn’t exists with out an announcer to inform players of the current game state and reinforce positive assumptions within the genre. Audio for the Titans was also created from voice recordings put through heavy post processing. Concept and aesthetics The inspiration for the style of the […]
To create the Sprites for the Tony and Steve avatars make8bitart.com was used as sketch pad and for the final in game sprites. Make8bitart.com was an extremely easy tool to use, similar in nature to MSpaint but with less functionality. The browser based application allowed for very quick sketching and drawing of basic pixel art […]
