Communications Video With Pizza Boss

Ok. So if you’ve read so far back as our post on the chronology of events for the game (viewable here), you’ll know there’s a part in the game in which our main man has to phone home in order to figure out what to do next.

My good friend William Bloomfield recorded a scene with one of his friends pretending to be the chef for our “Rocket Powered Pizzas” company. The recorded dialogue that came out was hilarious, was pretty hard finding the clip we wanted from the medley of amazingness he sent me. Within the gaming environment is kinda annoying because on the one hand you want to tell a really good story but on the other your faced with possibly annoying the player for making him/her stand idle too long, watching a video or cut sequence. I think we got it just right.

All sounds were created within Logic, visual effects created within After Effects. Remember this is to become a material for one of our computer screens in game, so the aspect ratio has been created portrait for a reason.

Main Menu Draft Functionality

Here’s a working version of the main menu for the game. I’m still looking to add glows to the menu buttons and main screen, also need to actually model the space station from orbit on the moon’s surface but it’s getting there..,

AI Computer Part 1

This video shows an InterpActor following the player around the level. In the game this will be an AI computer. I wanted to confirm that it was possible  to create this effect before I started to model the AI mesh. I animated the Actor to rotate by 90 degrees in Matinee and used four triggers to play movie.

This is the Kismet I used to create the movement of the InterpActor.
