Final Fixes

I think this level turned out pretty awesome. There are still some things that I think could use some tweaking, but I can push what I learned on this level to any of the levels that I create int he future.

Here is my final Game Play video of my level. (Without Final Switches Added, they ARE in my final Build.)




 


Fixed Broken Bridge Aesthetics

Replaced Barrel Switches

Update

Audio is cut and placed in the game. Most of the level is finished, just a couple more tweaks and I can call it done.

Adventure Level - Grave Rob Test Play 01

Finished a rough greybox for my Adventure Level. I ran through it once for camtasia and also had my girlfriend test it. There are a lot of things that still need to be added, but I think I am on the right track.

Grave Rob Update!

Starting Area

Delving Deeper into the Catacombs
I started working on Grave Rob and after looking at the game from an isometric view, the more I am thinking of trying out that type of camera. However, I did run into some issues saving out my package and it caused me to lose a portion of my level. A lesson to be learned here, NEVER trust UDK. I am not too far behind, and I will catch up very quickly. This adventure level should be loads of fun once it is completed. Camtasia videos to follow!

I have decided to complete a pretty complex adventure level that will focus heavily on the story of Robert Bishop trying to save his wife. I have included some very basic traps as well as some interesting puzzles that the players will have to use critical thinking to overcome.

Basically Completed!

Made some final adjustments on my death match level for class tomorrow. I really like what the post processing volumes did for the overall aesthetic of my level. Also most of my kismet is working just how I want it to. The only problem I am facing is toggling the Debuff zone on and off. I have the kismet set up correctly, however the volume does not want to activate more than once.

It is probably some minor setting I am overlooking, but either way the level is still going to be a blast for 6-8 people to play. Once you have all of those people jumping around the map and trapping each other in the gas chambers, you will overlook the small malfunctions :)

Below is a test game play video.

Plain Blue Advancement!

Everything is coming along nicely for the level. I have been working in depth with the kismet to get it just right. Most of the items are working, but the gas volumes that I have are malfunctioning just a bit. I am sure it is something very small that needs to be changed, but overall the level should be a lot of fun.
