Making Instructions

This week, I worked on creating all the instructions images for both the Warehouse and the Living Room. Although this was not a very difficult task, it was tedious to work on and took around 3hrs to complete. It was a challenge to adjust to our new schedules given the current circumstances and allot appropriate time to spend on each of our classes.

The instructions in the Living Room show the current required furniture pieces and their quantities, which the Builder will need to communicate to the Finder in the Warehouse. See below for an example of pieces required for a table.



On the other hand, the instructions in the Warehouse would show the symbols on the different furniture pieces that should touch in order to be combined, which the Finder will need to communicate to the Builder in the Living Room. See below for an example where the green heart marking should be made to touch the green circle marking.


I will be putting the source link for these instructions into arrays, to be accessed by the function to increment the instructions steps in the game.

This week, I also worked on creating a visual for a catalogue that the Builder can access in the Living Room environment to select the furniture they would like to build. This will be a required selection in order to initiate new gameplay. Using the rendered images of the completed furniture, provided by Maxime, I created the catalogue below (~1hr).


EDIT: I updated this catalogue. See below.

[WEEK 6] Back from Reading Week

We got back from Reading Week and reviewed what each of us accomplished. Expected deliverables for this week include: moodboards for the Living Room and the Warehouse, basic recolouring for the Living Room, a completed final Warehouse environment, and a working spawning objects prototype.

Sprint 4 - Alpha Presentation and Furniture

This week, the team presented our proposal for our project as well as demonstrated the alpha build. In its current state, the living room and warehouse environments are at their most primitive states and will be developed further over time. In future plans, I will have to redesign the living room to allocate more space to the user. It's currently too small and claustrophobic, which makes it difficult for a VR user to have enough building space. I spent the days prior to the presentation polishing the design comps then producing OBJ files of the environments to insert into A-Frame. I did this by going back and forth between a-frame and Maya and resizing the scene until it was the ideal size. This way, Mitchell is able to simply drag and drop the obj into the project without having to tweak the transformations (~5hrs).

Sprint 2 - 3D Modelling the Environments

This week's focus has mainly been on writing the design document and preparing for the alpha prototype (~2hrs). A great majority of the written sections in our proposal is complete while a large chunk of graphics remains to be developed in the coming week. The sooner the design document is complete, the better of an idea we have in how the project will turn out in the end.  On my end, I am responsible for 3D modelling the environments that will be used in the alpha demo. These are also necessary for producing design comps. The environments will be very low poly environments using primitive shapes and basic forms to form the rooms, nothing too extravagant. Below are a few screenshots of the environments in their current state: Living Room (~3hrs) that will be played in VR and the Warehouse (~4hrs) on desktop; all modelled in Maya.
