I am currently planning on making a full game made with blender. I’ll be going for an emotional platformer, and I am still thinking of other ways to make it unique.
I tried starting it with unity, but I find quite difficult because I liked and I was too immersed on blender’s controls over the camera, on how you modifiy things with it, the shortcuts and everything.
Can you please give me some tips on:
Better game optimization
Tips on lighting, Lighting effects, Fake glows and lightings
Projectiles, moving objects that follows your character
Effects, like fire, more nice looking mists
Fluidity on movements of character and environment animations
and any other tips you can give me
I’ll read your answers thoroughly because I really want to make a good game with blender, and maybe sell it in the future.
Hopefully the blender gods and godesses will answer this
No problem, hope it helps!
As far as I know Harmony Phase 1 is merged and Phase 2 is still in progress (I think).
Everything else can be ‘pick n’ mixed’ into one .blend file. In theory.
Here is the first look on what I will be making. All graphics in here do not really look good. What I aim for is to have a platformer game with a gritty, dark, and surreal environment. What I plan is when the game starts, there will be a cutscene on who the character is, what he does, and what he’ll be facing. Maybe I’ll name this game “Burdens” or “Escape”, and I made a promise to myself that I will finish this game no matter what This is more likely what I am, what’s going on my mind, the things that creep me out, things I want to escape from. More like a biography of myself with a twist.
Controls is just space for now, the character just jumps frontward, Made with blender 2.66
If the character doesn’t jump on older versions, it is because I used the character motion in the logic bricks with the jump button
I just hope that the next official blender release will have the BGE emitters, better optimizations, and all the awesome things candy branch have. Ill be posting an update of the game in another thread once I get the things that I want on the game
