Experimenting with some textures!


Experimenting with some textures! I am aiming for the shader doing most of the visual candy job in the game. That means using only the most basic textures, and freeing up some graphics memory. And recently I tried different ones for metal surfaces - and the results are here:

  • Only color - solid color, no textures. Look a bit basic, not really like a metal piece, but might be ok for some small details.

  • More realistic metal texture - diffuse texture that gives rough, worn out metal look. Looks too detailed for the cartoon style I'm going for.

  • Edited metal texture - same diffuse texture edited down to keep a fear wear marks. Looks better, gives it some texture while not being too detailed.

  • Edited metal texture + normal texture - diffuse and a normal to define nails and metal sheets. Looks more like a metal surface, I think I'm keeping this one! But let's try some other things too.

  • Edited metal texture + normal texture + rust and wear normal. Gives the surface a bumpy look, might be a bit too detailed.

  • Edited metal texture + normal texture + metallic texture. Is supposed to give the surface a metal shine but looks weird with the shader . Might experiment with creating a "fake" metal shine through diffuse later on though.

Next up

Wire now can grab enemies, to make it easier to shoot them up close!

Some clean up. These are graphs for one of the master materials used in the game, before and after. Added some functionality and finally made use of the named reroute nodes to get rid of all those noodles.

Made a model for another enemy robot. This one is supposed to resemble a french press, but still look similar to the Toaster. They work in the same company but on different floors.

Kikkerstein had a great day 1 at LVL UP EXPO!

If you’re in Vegas, come see us on day 2!

Throwing cake at a robot aka another type of weapon - pieces of environment scattered around level that can be picked up and launched at things.

We have a question and we wanna know: What's the coolest easter egg you've ever seen in a game? Complete the quest and you'll get 100 Coins!

Added sounds to the wire movements and a short time dilation window when the grabbed robot is close to player.

Set up animations, effects and attack logic for the new enemy. This one attacks by opening its lid and pouring out the coffee around it. Potentially highly inconvenient in tight corridors.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Made some bread piles for robots to throw their cooked toasts in!
