8 weeks (full-time)

Contributions

UI: Implementing HUD, menus, and in-game prompts.

Pipeline: Establishing and maintaining the Unreal to BoB engine pipeline.

Interaction system: Padlocks, Pick ups, Letters.

Dialogue System: Aided with storytelling

Cinematics: Contributed to storyboarding and implementing the intro and outro.

Unreal Blueprints: Creating Blueprints to help the Level Designers.

Material loading: Together with Elias B, develop a pipeline so that we can load layered material from Unreal to the BoB engine.

Highlight

UI

I implemented all the UI elements in the game using our custom UI designer, created by Elias Ö and Albin. I also implemented so that the player’s progression is saved, and so that the UI and HUD get updated to match the progression.

Colliders

Together with Albin, we were able to convert FBX models containing either a UBX or UCX into a PhysX PxTriangleMeshGeometry. We did it by first finding the element that was the UBX/UCX and extracting the vertices and indices. We then took the vertices and indices and created a PhysX PxTriangleMeshGeometry. This allowed us not to have to create BluePrints containing a mesh and a box collider, as well as having more accurate collisions.

Cinematics

I contributed to the storyboarding and implemented the Intro and Outro. The animations were done by Minoo.

Intro & Outro

Material loading

Elias B implemented an HSV and roughness slider in Unreal that let our artists quickly and easily adjust materials. I implemented so that the data from Unreal was translated and sent to our engine’s HLSL shaders using buffers, and then applied the materials.
I also created a pipeline for our technical artist to create custom shaders, apply them in Unreal, and test them in our engine.
