Total Conversion - Week 1 & Group Project Comeplete!



TOTAL CONVERSION

This week i finally started getting under way with my total conversion. Previously over summer i had made a basic level to get used to the unreal engine, but now i have started with the fun part - the scripting. I have been making my main menu, which includes buttons to my level, settings page, credits and exiting the game. The above picture is an early implementation, which involves background sound. I shall hopefully be adding more to it, and look into having an animated background.

Also, I'm going to have to spend a huge chunk of my time reading through and learning all the codebase. It looks a very daunting project at first, but using UnCodeX, it becomes easy to understand where everything all falls into place.



GROUP PROJECT

As mentioned before, our whole group where given the task of making 'The Hive' from Resident Evil. We handed this in on Friday, and being a team leader, there, there was exceptional pressure on me. However, all maps were in on time, and our finished project was to a good standard.

When running through the level i was very impressed at the amount of work that had been achieved in so little time, and learnt the vital importance of communication in the games industry. (mainly due to a few students who lacked communication with there team leaders and gave a map that was lets say.. below par).
