User Interface
Runing low on character stuff to do i moved on to user interface:
Designed menus through some sketches with the game designer and came up wit this:
Designed menus through some sketches with the game designer and came up wit this:
this is the start menu:
When the player taps the screen this pannel slides in with the games options:
In game ui elements:
unpersed arrow button:
Pressed glowing arrow button:
These are the signs indicators for the hud:
This is the game over screen. Is meant to look like other similar games of the genre.
Finally this is a vignette which will be placed on the you'l layer to add a gritty finish to game game and add that little bit more polish which finishes the game off.
Still to come :
Branch points options . eather arrows , or names of directions, or images of paths or images and text of path will look at other games for influences on how they handle it, sutch as killer 7 and house of the dead.
Art in general update
As far as the rest f the art for the project is going. Darren has finished all the rooms and wells and textures for the rooms. The last thing to do is some more objects for the botom path but is not a priority at the moment.
Stewart has finished the grand hall and has packed all the uvs and textures into about 5 diferent texture maps.
We are having issues with lightmapping and normals at the moment as after its been lightmaped down the bump maps dont react to the light attached to the camera. We are looking into ways around this.
We were having problems at the last crit with the android settings but i had some spare time and gaind acses to a freinds phone to test stuff and fiddleed with settings till things worked so the graphical isues we were having are now resolved but the controll problems are still there. Its up to the programers to get them working now. Most of the srt is dun.
Also testsd alpha textures on the phone as we thought it may be a problem but it seemed to work. :D

Animation time again
For the presentation i put together another video:
It shows the banshee animations , wolf animations and an early mirror arms animation:

Panic time.
Not time to panic because theres no time left but because the games designer wanted a panic event in, basicaly a quicktime event in whitch arms reach out of a mirror or painting and grab Harker and attack untill shaken off.
this is the reference image Fraser told me to work to: He wnated long pail pointy arms.
Here is the textured model: - 400 faces, 27 bones. I was limited to only having 4 arms due to the unity mobile recomended bone limit, as 4 used 27 and adding any more woudl take it over the roughly recomended 30 for best performance.

About time for a Banshee
One day when we were at a meeting i decided to start work on another enemy so looked at the wish list of enemies and saw a vampire bride/banshee.
i drew a new concept to keep show the team. Got the ok form the designer and started work on her. didnt take long and i reused the bones from all theother characters as a base for her animations and stuff to save time.
insted of walking she will hover and insetd of walking towards harker she will stay away and lanch sonic wave projectiles at harker.
here is the sketch:
Heres an image i made for my portfolio showing her off.

Wheres the warewolf?
It was always planned to have a warewolf jump through a window in a later stage in the level so i decided to start work on one.
I rememberd that i had did some work on awolf like character earlyer that year so i reused a lot of the mesh then reused and textured it:
Heres the origonal: a zelda model made ot look hand drawn.

these were the concept sketches i was working to:
Here is the adjusted mesh 1124 faces, slightly higher than the rest of the models but its a special enemy and is still within the unity recommended phone specs.
31 bones again on the high side but still around the recommended unity moblie specks.
Heres the renders mesh with textures:
Heres the color and normal map again normal map made with xnormal plugin.
