Arctic Trailer

full game play on my website https://mbmtrex.wixsite.com/portfolio Story: Global problems disturbed guardians of the glacier and younger and more powerful ones decided to leave their habitat. Their exodus and current state of the world created an opportunity for other creatures who were under the shadow of the guardians and are more accustomed to new conditions of the world, to grow and take over the glacier by fighting left behind guardians. You play as three different wolves in three different timelines and you will find what state other wolves are in your timeline, which helps you to better understand in which order game events had happened. Narrative: Inspiring from H.P.Lovecraft stories and narrative of darksouls games, important events of the world are not about main characters, other creatures don't notice them, they don't have any influence on the events ,and they mostly see the aftermath. There is no dialog and player should explore the environment to better understand the story. Mechanics: All mechanics designed for a better cinematic experience and helping players to inspect the world better. note: All the footage of the trailer was captured using in-game camera. 1.Slow motion. 2.Switching camera between FPS and TPS. 3.Movement and basic actions like resting, sitting and howling. 4.Triggering story events* 5.Taking screenshot. *there is no game-over in this game, and you have to explore new areas and trigger story events to progress. Inspiration : Death stranding Koyaanisqatsi theme song by Philip Glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4Vt0UGwmgQ Mountain of madness by H.P Lovecraft Chasing the ice documentary global warming and arctic phenomena: rainbows, halos, ice caves, cryoconite, auroras and optical phenomenon. Development story: This was my second personal project with Unreal Engine and my goal was to get familiar with all aspects of the game engine. June 15th -August 22nd, 2020 Note: A detailed credit section can be found on the page of the game also a full breakdown of what I did for this project. Summary of Credits: Programming: All the logic of the game is implemented by blueprint. Foot IK: I modified the following human version of the IK system for a quadruped character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyiyKhVIiwk Textures: I used quixel's megascan library and modified some of the textures in Mixer. Models: I mostly used paragon and other free assets of ue4 Marketplace and modified them but I did the modeling of the cave and some guardians myself using the ue4.25 modeling plugin. Sounds: The full list of sounds that I used is included on the page of the game. Main sources for sounds: freesfx.co.uk https://freesound.org/ Unreal engine has been used for the development of the game and Shotcut for the trailer. dians of the glacier and younger and more powerful ones decided to leave their habitat.
