4.20 Start planning the trailer, came up with several ideas, picking out things to put on the trailer without giving away too much
4.23 Walk through the cave
4.24 Helped out with some of the audio.
4.25 Started modeling the Oculus Rift. At first, I wasn’t going to add on the straps, however it looked too bare, so I added the straps to have better composition and look more realistic. I also helped Tommy with the end credits and the title by just seeing what looked good and what didn’t.
4.26 Finished the Oculus Rift model.
4.26 Did some last minute stuff and walked through the game several times and pointed out things to fix.
Some of the surfaces were too “perfect” and flat
The alarm clock sound went off too late
Some of the flyers were too fast
The canoe was missing

FINAL CHECKPOINT CHECKPOINT FOR THE FINAL CHECKPOINT
Since the last checkpoint I have:
-migrated blueprint nodes for the finished project to the target laptop for demonstrations
-helped place audio cues inside the cave and field
-helped create attractions in the field area
-implemented flying npc and flying npc behaviour
-refined playable area bounds
-implemented a particle effect for transitioning from the cave to field
Current Goals include:
-final polish for project submission; further refinement of map bounds and npc behaviour, implementation of secondary npcs, level streaming and transitions, etc...

Modeling the Owl Statue
- This is a fun easter egg that will be added into the game for the players to find. It plays along with our theme, because the owl represents death. The hardest part of modeling was the bottom of the statue where it looks like water. The curvy shapes were a little bit difficult too, but other than that, it was a smooth process to model the owl.

New Flyer Model:
There were difficulties texturing the original flying serpent model, so a new one was created. I rigged and animated the new model to move with an undulating wave motion. I made improvements to that animation based on problems with the previous model’s animations. Additionally, we originally planned to animate the blob by blending forward and turning animations in unreal, but the process proved to be too time consuming and complicated, so the flyer animation was set to move on a path in unreal.
Blob and Tentacle Animations:
The floating blob and ground tentacle animations needed to be imported into unreal. The tentacle gave no complications, because it was done with a traditional rig, but the blob was done with blend shapes and we ran into problems getting it to animate in unreal. Eventually, the import errors were corrected, and the blob was successfully imported into the unreal engine.

Since the last checkpoint, I have mainly been focusing on lighting and tweaking the textures of a few assets. The room and field lighting and feel have been my main focuses. I ended up making some of the surfaces in the field emissive so that the viewer could see them since we settled on a coloration that we liked with the lighting but it still ended up being pretty dark. Making the surfaces slightly emissive made it so that the user could see where they were going.
Additionally, I altered the cave vegetation a bit. I added taller veiled mushrooms and large “ball” mushrooms. I also created a short gradient at the end of the cave so that the coloring of the rocks would transition from bright and blue to darker, more ominous reds. I also altered the texture on the shadow people to make them appear darker and a bit more transparent.

Started planning the trailer, picked out shots that might work well in the trailer. I got clips for our game using a screen capture program because we were having errors using the matinee in Unreal. I then edited them in Premiere Pro creating a non objective trailer that visually communicates the concept of our game. I also textured the oculus rift at the end of the trailer. Made score for the intro to the trailer, made score for the field, recorded and edited sound effects for the game
