Some updates for my garden game~

I found some garden assets, including a bathtub mesh. I want to add old pieces to this, but I don’t know how to properly texture something like a bathtub to look worn and old. The idea is to create a small pond inside the tub, with some plants growing inside, like lilypads.

Added more rocks and trees and reintroduced fog. Some of the assets I downloaded come with textures and materials, but I’m not sure how to apply them (will ask in class).

Added some omni lights to create a night-garden vibe.

Sample walkthrough:

Moving forward, I’d like to learn how to make some of my own assets, like lamps, more plants, pathways, and miscellaneous objects.

UPDATED AFTER CLASS 3/25

Beggining to add grass, lilies, more detail:

I am working on my garden game project. The theme is a nighttime or evening garden (I haven’t fully committed to a mood yet) where you can walk around and interact with objects. Right now, I’m working on showing the player around so they can see different trees and plants.

At first, I was using more detailed assets I found online:

As you can see, it has minimal lighting to give off a nighttime vibe.

However, I decided to turn up the brightness, remove the fog, place more plants, and design the space to see more easily while I continue developing this. So, for now, I have it as a brighter environment. I also replaced the plant objects with low-poly plants I found online, as I’m enjoying that aesthetic more for this game.

Added trees:

Added rocks and mushrooms:

I plan to reintroduce the moody lighting, but for now, I am working on placing and organizing all of my objects.

More to come soon!

User Feedback

Here is the feedback from my game. It seems like some people were able to get it running, while others were not.

Overall, I appreciate the feedback, and will be attempting to correct the errors.

 

Week 2 – 3D Level Progress

Began creating a 3D level during the second class.

I started by building rooms on their own while following the class demo, and then saved them as they’re own individual nodes. Made windows for one of the single door rooms, may add more later to the other rooms.

Combined many rooms together- rooms with 1 door, 2 door, and 3 doors. Changed lighting to a warm reddish hue. All rooms at the ends have one door intentionally to mark the ending of a section. Added a player, starting in the single door room with a window.

Week 1 – Maze Progress

Started the maze homework today. Built walls, a floor, changed color of the sun/sky, and added a player.

Week 1 Progress

I’d like to make a room where the character can walk around, and run into things. I wanted to avoid a basic color for lighting, so I made the light source blue-ish.

Added more tree duplicates.
