Lost in the Park – Mr. Orion’s House – Build 3

What I completed:

I got my final house in place, dog, Mr. Orion, animation for shed and fence door working. However I believe that due to the updated version certain things will not work (such as the show GUIText). I spent time trying to fix these items but was unsuccessful. I did put a small particle effect in place in Mr. Orion’s coffee cup.

What I didn’t have time to do:

I was unable to get an inventory system working since Unity seemed to be down quite a bit when I was trying to access the asset store and find an inventory system (since this game calls for one that is more complicated than one in the book).

Future:

I would like to get Mr. Orion and the dog moving, inventory system, and linking up with other scenes to get it working.

Mr. Orion’s Walkthrough

Just a walkthrough of my level. I was unable to set-up voice or get EZVid to turn off its music so you won’t be able to hear some of the parts in the game.

Lost in the Park – Mr. Orion’s House v2

Version 2

What I completed:

I have created a shed and placed a Gazebo into my level. I have also placed temporary walls that will keep the player within the area I wish for them to be. I have also instituted GUI messages to appear when these walls are reached to say what will happen in the game. I did use a blood texture to paint a blood smear that leads into the backyard that will lead the player to the shed. I have placed a light fixture into the shed and a few tables along with a pair of Gary’s military boots. I also replaced the 2D bird sound with a few different bird calls that would be native to the mid-Atlantic coast. I placed audio sources into a few of the trees for the bird sounds so that in those with surround sound headphones it will sound as if it is coming from above. I also got rid of some of the grass that was out of place on the mountain. I have adjusted the height of the first person controller but I have yet to find a good place for the camera.

What I didn’t have time to do:

I did not have time to find an appropriate main house but I am very close to completing one in 3ds Max. I also have not figure out the animation for the door in the shed yet as well as getting the color for the textures on the shed correct.

Next build:

I would like to get the house in place as well as the fix the animation (and the color) for the door on the shed, create a mini-game for the opening of the fence (something involving a dog), get the various inventory items (I plan on using a pre-built inventory engine). I will also get the transitions working to swap scenes with my team members’ scenes.

Lost in the Park – Mr. Orion’s House – Build 1

Lost in the Park <— Demo page

What I completed:
I have created Mr. Orion’s house with some primitive placeholder props to stand in for any buildings. I have put up his fence, the fence for the protected lands (to prevent the player from exiting the area in that direction, created a mountainous overlook, areas for the player to see when they exit the level, planted trees, spots of grass, lit the scene with a primary directional light and a complementary light to lighten the shadows. I have also added a 2D sound of a birdsong since this is a forest.

What I didn’t have time to do:

I searched for assets on the Asset store and could not find a house or buildings that I liked so I just put placeholders to get the physical feel of the area. I also didn’t have time to create or find a scenic overlook platform or entrance piece for the gate. I also didn’t have time to alter the textures for the bloody trail that leads to the house.

Next build:

I would like to get the interiors built for the house, gazebo, and shed, the game barriers that will zone the player to the next area or go home. I also would like to get a blood spot texture to create the trail leading to Mr. Orion’s house.
