Small SciFi project

[CoffeeGrunt]

Okay, been messing around with UDK and testing various concepts for a while, but now I'm gonna try and sit down and build a level...

It's gonna use Level Streaming to make a seamless journey a la Half Life, but probably alot worse.

Anyway please give whatever critique you can, the background is that you have woken up in a cryo tube on an unknown planet at an unknown time, and the AI that runs the facility will help you survive:

Here's the screenshots, still gotta get Lightmass to the right settings, everything's so washed out:

Looks nice, but the lighting is a little weird in the third pic.

This story is starting to sound ALOT like Portal.

A LOT is two words.

Yeh, still gotta sort it out. I can't get Lightmass to stop desaturating the crap out of my lighting, those lights are mean to be red... :S


I like the second pic.

Thanks, hopefully the rest of the level will be better...

True. But it is an awesome game, and it's not like I'll ever go commercial with this...

If it helps, it won't have an ASHPD, but it will have actual combat. But yes, there's a robot that helps you...

An AI run facility isn't really that uncommon in Sci-Fi...

Anyway, looks nice so far. The models in the level do look a slight bit "outdated" though, but some more detail in the textures should fix that. :)

I can see where some of the edges are a bit too sharp or the UV's need to be set better, but all in all it's not too bad.

[CoffeeGrunt]

Yeh, I can't model for crap, and have no money to get someone else to do it... :S

I'm using cheap models 'til I get a bit of cash together, then I'm gonna raid the Dexsoft site...

Yeh, Idk about how to get smoother graduation of light on this...

In fact, there was an episode of MacGyver (in the early '90s) wherein the hero had to thwart an AI gone mad in a secret government facility. Its not as though Portal was the first to introduce this idea, it just took a different spin on things.
