This finally leads me to prototyping and validation. I do sometimes have ‘flashes’ -or dreams- of cool ideas like a gameplay mechanic, other times a whole story or environment. By September 2022 I had most of the design and lore elements of the game ready, including several prototypes, but it all looked terrible.

Here are some of them: AI-Powered Content Creators Ludo AI: This tool excels at generating gameplay concepts and mechanics based on your preferences. Sketch a rough concept, set some parameters, and Dimensions will generate 3D models, textures, and animations. It can even help define core loops and progression systems.

Game design software’s scripting and coding support is critical for implementing game mechanics, logic, and interactivity. Prototyping and Iteration Tools Look for prototyping and iteration tools to quickly test and modify game elements.

It is one of the most upcoming technologies of the times whose mechanism depends on collecting relevant data and understanding the physics of the system that will be replicated. Haptic Technology uses engineering, neuroscience, and a set of mechanical components to stimulate our sense of touch.

For month after month, I tried fixing them with different supporting mechanisms, different ways that cards were obtained, different ways damage was dealt, and a lot more, but nothing really fixed the fundamental problem. Once I realized that we were going to have to ditch the core mechanism, that kind of meant something like starting over.

If they don’t create textures themselves, 3D modelers will work especially closely with texture artists and look development artists (aka surfacing artists) who will add realism and detail to their model through texture maps and shaders. They may also be required to use software that processes scans and photogrammetry.

Although humans still produce the finished design, AI art speeds up design stages like brainstorming, idea generation, conceptualization, prototyping, and client pitches. For example, you can add the specific art style, colors, lighting, and textures you wish to see in the artwork.

I lean heavily on text for as long as possible, postponing prototyping until it’s absolutely necessary. After building out the systems for AI/building/crafting, I had a bit of the game prototyped out, but it was missing something. I added the first goblin and the basic combat mechanics, and that felt good but still not quite there.

After understanding some of the future plans from the game team, I decided to start over and create a guide from the perspective of code-writing and logic mechanisms. In the callback function, it call the loadTextures function to preload all textures in the resources/textures/ folder.

Luckily both engines offer asset stores that allow users to download free and paid props, shading, textures, and many more. Although Unity supports normal maps, occlusion maps, base textures, and other standard shading features, it lacks the advanced material editor found in Unreal engine. Additionally, UE is good for prototyping.

We rather think of an ideal or prototype bird like this one over here from a kid's science book. I admit having trouble with exporting textures and stuff sometimes in the past, but at the moment I think it does its job quite well. I'm looking forward to share the mechanic and story behind of the game in the upcoming post.
