Hey it's me again This time I come to you with a level I made for my Game Design course. The main assignment was just that the level should be visually appealing with no particular focus on the gameplay or other things. Enjoy this little showcase video I did!

Game Design Level

This is pretty amazing. Did you do the level design too(water, textures etc.)?

[Simon]

I did everything, except make the engine  It was made in Unreal Engine 4, and All models were made by me and textures were taken/made from stock photos from www.cgtextures.com. Normals maps were either made by me in Zbrush or generated from the texture using crazybump 

[jooker]

Awesome. How much time have you spent for this?

[Afterlife]

Can you stunt in that game?

Awesome. How much time have you spent for this?

It was a 9 week project, but a few of them were preproduction. So the game itself maybe 7 weeks or so.

Can you stunt in that game?

No bumping, but you could always swim through tight spots and call it a precpass or whatever

What is the world record of completing the game?

[Simon]

It doesn't have an end. It's just a level you walk/swim around in, until you die I guess.

Really great work dude, can't wait to see more from you.

Good Day my men. So today was the deadline for our 6 month project. Which was "Make a game prototype", Which is basically, "make a working game and a level for it". Compared to other times this was a group project, we were three people working together on this. I for the most part did the scripting (not actual scripting, just a node based scripting system that Unreal Engine 4 uses). However I also made a few models, textures and even one or two animations.

The game is about a Kiwi called Piripi. He wants to fly, so he sets out on an adventure to gather magical golden feathers so that he can make wings, and eventually fly. You can also pick up different shoes that give you different abilities that you need to use in order to get to certain feathers. The game is a 3d platformer inspired by old Nintendo classics like Super mario 64 and Banjo kazooie.





Not sure if you can see the screenshots, if you can't I'll update with new ones later today. I should also not, you're not able to collect 21 feathers as these images show. There are all together  7 feathers, 100 seeds and 4 shoes to collect.

If you want to try and play it, here is download hyeez:
