One of the things I would like to add to my game is the creature I previously made from my last project into this project and I would have liked to see it move around in this environment.As I am not able to make progress with my game at the moment I’m thinking of ideas that I would consider adding to the game if were able to make progress with it such as adding different coloured environments I’ve re-watched both the first and second guardians of the galaxy movies to try and and get a bit of inspiration from the environments in the movie’s and I’ve done a bit of research for some concept art and the image above is one of them. I’ve also played a bit of No Man’s Sky to get some inspiration as it is procedural generated exploration game that has almost an endless amount of planets and environments to explore and what I can get inspiration from.
Watching videos on YouTube such as this has helped me understand different ways to make models and make detailed models by using different techniques that I would have applied to my project.
This video would have helped me create smoke effects that I would have used on my spaceship model and escape pod to make them look damaged and add more detail to my game.
Just like the smoke system effect I would have liked to have added a spark effect to also add more detail to my spaceship and escape pod to make it look more damaged and make players easily identify that the spaceship is damaged and make the crash site look much better and make it look like there is more going on.
