As for this week, we are working on coming up with gameplay design, a tech explore of the gym level, themed art storyboard based on our gameplay design, We are also going to have our ¼ presentation on Friday. We also went to a jazz bar for team bonding.

The goal for this week is to create a gym level in our platform to test and explore the Fortnite Editor in four parts: Boss Fight, Player Actions, parkour platforming, visual effect.

This is our themed artboard. we wanted to concise our design while keeping this color palette moving forward.

We went to a Jazz bar in downtown Pittsburgh called Con Alam. The food was delicious and the Jazz trio was professional.

We have also examine the parkour functionalities with player interactions.

Shooting + Rhythm, point-and-click introduces a direct way to interact with the world

Done: VFX Overlay applied to weapon through PowerUp, Binding the PowerUp to patchwork

To Do: Applying damage amplifier to the power-up, encourage shoot with the beat, Building note-trigger driven target dummies (their actions may be affected by the beat)

  • Art and Design

    We mapped out our design and drew out the storyboard and color theme for the project.

As for Design, we were thinking of how platforming and parkour could combine together as a scene. We like the idea, but we think this is out of scope. We will be managing our scope to concise our ideas.

Based on our design, we drew out our storyboard to set the color tone of our project.

We were also be able to drew out the storyboard as showed on the top page.

  • 1/4 Presentation

    Besides daily update, we were able to put up the speaker and showed instructors our gym level. They experienced our work and have a brief info of what we are creating. We received a lot of feedback on how music and gameplay could connect.
