Industry Practice - Sound Brief and Contracts (29/11/24)

-

Date: 29/11/24

In Attendance: Me, Sam, Faye

Meeting Agenda & My Role: To discuss contracts and create a sound brief

Decisions and/or Actions & Deadlines: We made a start on the sound brief and agreed to use Beepbox to create our own music for the game. We discussed each of us creating simple tunes for each patient. We don't plan to make a lot of our assets until after Christmas so we'll update the sound brief over the course of this project with the assets we make. Katie and Jake weren't present for this meeting so we left notes on the sound brief and linked it into the discord. We didn't want to make too many decisions when two members of our team were absent. We decided that we'd consider making a commission contract to help us grasp the basics but we doubt we'll need to use it so it isn't a priority. I said I'd see if I could draft up an NDA.

Reflections: Overall, this meeting went quite well despite missing two members. We made a good dent into the sound brief making sure it reflects our games aesthetics. We also made some good progress on the research and we made sure that the Beepbox files would be compatible with Ren' Py! Everyone liked the idea of using Beepbox so we didn't need to find any alternatives. I'm excited to see what sounds we can make with this website

Real Worlds - Enforcer Key Illustration Process

-
Image
Enforcer Sketch I started off by copying and pasting the thumbnail I chose onto a separate canvas. I then drew out a box in an attempt to fix drawing so it made more sense for the perspective it was in. I then did a sketch over it to add in the enforcer's features and armour. Lighting Pass Since my chosen genre is survival horror, I wanted my enforcer to look quite terrified and have lighting to reflect that mood. I decided to use a flashlight that had been dropped on the floor to illuminate my enforcer. Here is the basic sketch over on how I'd think it'd look. I plan to use a reference later to help me accurately capture this when I clean up the sketch. Edits Based on Feedback I had a discussion with Sam using the image shown under the lighting pass heading. He suggested having the part on the tongue on the left being in the foreground and then showing it curving around the enforcer's other arm. He commented that it would be uncomfortable for the arm to be that straigh...

Toolkit - Gantt Chart and Kanban

Image
Gantt Chart This is the plan I made for 3D over my easter break. I had unfortunately spent too much time focusing on other projects and not enough time on this one. I should've made sure I had more time on this project especially because 3D is one of my weaker areas. Here is the Gantt Chart I made for Toolkit. Gantt Chart Updated/ Revised (10/05/25) I was able to keep up with gantt chart up until week 4. I greatly overestimated how long the sculpting process would take and ended spending the week just on that. Luckily, I had just finished one of my other projects so for the final week I was able to put most of my focus onto this project. In this updated Gantt Chart, I ended up having to move the Retopology and Texturing into the final week.  Here is a link to the Miro Board I've been using to manage my projects so you can see it better https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVIfcpGzE=/?share_link_id=655866724727 Kanban To help me further manage this project, I created a Kanban.

3D Toolkit - Renders, Turntable and Unreal Implementation

-

Turntable Here is a link to my turntable on Sketchfab:  https://skfb.ly/pxnUY Unfortunately, the texture for the mask on the belt just wouldn't work. It wasn't assigning correctly onto the model despite being completely fine in both Maya and Unreal. I was unable to resolve this issue so I left it with a basic white colour. Renders For some reason, during my renders, the textures broke and I wasn't entirely sure how to fix it. I think it might've been to do with the materials of my assets. I tried changing them but it broke the textures even more.  Unreal Implementation I implemented my character into unreal to see how they looked. They had been scaled a little too big, so in Maya I went back and made them smaller.
