Self-testing was my primary form of testing in the first and second versions of the game, when I wasn’t even sure if some of the core concepts would work. If you only have one viable strategy, you could be looking at problems baked into the mechanics or even core engine of your game.

Concept Art. As part of our demo overhaul, we recently welcomed a few new team members into our motley crew in order to help us better establish the dark-fantasy vibe we're going for—including the newest member to our Concept Art team, Harold. Curious about Harold's process for building out each concept's composition?

This meant that the larger scenes might refuse to bake because they don't fit within the size limits of an image. This will be a draw mode that previews the texel density of lightmaps (without actually (re)baking them). I have created a crude proof of concept for this. Project overview and progress.

In game engines (or even when exported from the 3D modelling application), animation data is baked to a simpler representation because, for games, processing beziers and IKs is way too expensive for real-time. A transform matrix is no longer used. They now do. Improvement in compatibility with non-uniform scaling.

And it's all down to Gregg Barnett, frankly - he had the concept, and he handed it onto me to craft into a design. And that was baked into the design from the beginning. We actually had concept art for a monstrous version of Cogjammer based on the gremlin in the movie-version of the same story - but it was too scary.

That’s the core concept from Voodoo. It’s awesome to see some good messaging baked into its core gameplay. We love the concept. Sprinkling rewards throughout the gameplay, rather than at the end of each level, can make your game all the more fun to play. Net Fishing! Cast your net to collect as many fish as you can.

“It’s clear that simulation, as both a genre and concept, is far more popular in VR than in Console and PC games. So many games have that question baked into their core. It’s also defined a bit differently. VR players generally want to experience things as close to reality as possible.” Does it feel good when playing?

There was no concept of events or free/ earnable content.
