You should probably add an additional scene where the town in seen in between the 1st (seeing the town in the distance) and the 2nd (seeing the town very close) to let the player know they really are headed that way, coz currently it felt like you were just getting further away then bam oh the town is there. Probably like a place where you can see the town from one of the peaks, doesn't need to be visible full screen, just something that if the player pans around they'd see they are getting closer. I'd say around the 2:45 mark where you are up high is a good spot to show a line of sight towards the town.
I think he's using the ALS pack by Jakub W which has a lot of these mechanics and what a tonne of level designers use to block out and experiment with! 💪🏻 Work smarter not harder!
Do you have a discord I’ve been trying to learn unreal but I’ve been watching a tutorial series but I don’t know if it’s good or not I code in c++I guess what I’m trying to get is a refrence of how long it should take to create something in unreal
I am planning to make my own metal gear solid 4 type game at unreal engine 5, i dont want to focus on graphic quality though, im not good at coding at C++ soo thats why im trying to figure out , i have a crazy idea that allways wanted to execute, you all know the arcade games at arcade game loges, there is allways but allways a game that has been made by SAGA that has 2 physical gun controller you need to use to play, you have one life, your 25 cent and thats all you got, you wanna know whats goign to happen next but die realy quick due to game design, this games does not have complex stories, themes story etc. but due to their one life desing ( which can be cheated with more money but lets ignore this part) it allways felt more compelling, at a video game death is unimportant, even at souls games you just lose progress, I want to make agame that is not hard but has 1 life mechanice, if you die for any reason you have to wait 3 weeks to play it again and you will get the bad ending as canon, its going to be 5 hour long for obvious reasons that im not even expecting to be able to make it that long but with this mimic i can make something special,
Bro you've done a fantastic job with this level. Good level design is such a pleasure to see. This is giving me Rise of the Tomb Raider vibes and I love it.
Cool level design but the character stating the obvious for the player reminds me why AAA games are so fucking terrible. "I need to get to that town" "This should lead to the town" "I should jump here..." At this rate, very soon players will lose the concept of playing and would just wait for instructions to execute.
Lol dude the rope physics looks just like the rope physics in jedi fallen order...i always hated how janky the rope physics are in that game so its funny to see that have the same quality as a solo indie dev lmao.
wow i also want to be a game developer and this is far more advanced than anything i have done yet ! did you make all of this by yourself or did you use assets etc ?
This looks fabulous attractive, but for me personally i felt it much more like "last of us" rather then "uncharted". Maybe cause i played only last uncharted, maybe cause the are both naughty dogs :)
Super cool! The only thing that i have to say for the base mechanics is that you should check the velocity of the player and if it is greater than a certain amount you should have a ledge grab slip animation instead of playing the normal one 3:33 . Everything else looks awesome. I dont really make games like this, but i would love to make one one day!
The raw focus on gameplay and blocking out the map is really cool. You nailed it with the classic “see the destination out in the horizon but get redirected through an obscure path” gameplay that I’ve seen since Half Life 2.
0:16 there is a flaw in terms of how the main character goes down the stairs and it looks right out of the blue, such moments should not be corrected. This can be fixed with a simple collision, that is, make it flat, and not like steps, well, make sure that the legs take into account not the colisium but the IK, then the model will descend smoothly, and the legs will also adjust normally
Just made a post on 4chan saying how do i make game like saints row and GTA and the only reply was "an indie game can never be like gta, do smaller games and be better with those" but now im seeing this and im assuming one guy (or gal) made it, well all i got to say is , bro, teach me
An indie wont reach the massive scope of gta but there are things you can do to make a similar game. For example, have a simple artstyle that is quick to produce, use assets from other people such as a driving template or city asset pack (I heard that some of the gameplay from this is from a pack), only add the necessary features (dont add features such as clothes getting wet accurately as it is a waste of time) and also try to have 0 cutscenes. However, even after taking these steps it will be a struggle but will be doable if you are willing to spend the money on assets and time required to make it
I recommend using the sound variation node for the steps, adjust the minimum and maximum in a ramdom way so that the audio of the steps feels less repetitive, when reloading weapons, etc. I loved your work :3
i have a question about this video which uncharted game are you being inspired by for ur level block out and what tools did you use for ur levelblock out? and i enjoy uncharted 1-3 but haven't played uncharted 4 and uncharted lost legacy yet :)
@@mcfluffy28655 i actually only played uncharted 4 for about 1-2 hours and thats it . So i guess its inspired by uncharted 4 but yeah i think as soon as i feel a games vibe i am able to recreate it somewhat
@@eryklvl do you recreate it via screenshots and video footage or just screenshots only? and what type of research do you do for recreating or remaking and being inspired by said game? am quite curious and would love to see a video of that if possible going more behind the scenes of that :) P.S sorry the comment is a little bit long
the progression from start to end was really good, the little buttons & parkour obstacles & a overview spot where you use the binoculars, i like it! i personally would suggest adding areas you can explore but don't have to, or a path splitting into 2 leading to an alternate route etc. this of course adds more work, so it's understandable if avoided. 1 person can only do so much
If you are the creator, i would say cool job, one thing to keep in mind, is sizes relative to each other, have a proper scale for everything, nothing break immersion more then having an item that is bigger or smaller then it should be in real life.
i did u done the mechanic of the sounds during the gameplay?only using box triggers?or there is some other methods?i am still don't understand how you got it done.
I think this is great! The only thing I would change is to remove the papers and swap them out with some kinda lighting indicator because then it would give the player more of a feeling of cleverness when they get to the town (since the level is mostly linear) and it would create opportunities to let them take alternate paths to the town as well
Audio's already doing so much work holy shit. Although with such sheet box edges are you not worried making natural looking stone cliffs will be a challenge when it comes time to dress this up? You've got some nice rock assets in already but I mean the graybox surfaces.
Just pure opinion based feedback (you can disregard since its just an opinion): I think this feels too "tutorial-like". I know it's a tutorial and that the intention is to teach the mechanics, while driving the user to the start of the campaign. I also know it's a linear game. Still, it felt that the mechanics were there JUST for the tutorial and nothing else. It's good practice and great for showing how to level design, but it also makes mid-core and hardcore gamers lose the imersion. I believe the best solution is to add a bit of story telling to those elements, like half-life does. Make the mechanic appear without text and add an obvious path that allows the user to experiment with it immediately, but maybe not forcing the user in this first moment, like doom does. Then ahead you force the user. And for the elements themselves, add some justification of why they are there. That indeed can be done through art but you can also do it in blocking. For example, why there are 3 bars there? Maybe instead of 3 random swing bars, add many more bars and add electrical posts or structural metal from an old building there. Instead of the wood logs and poles. For the climbing after, why theres a cable there? If that is a place people go to use the cable for fun, then add some broken ladders to climb, instead of stone notches... stuff like that. Add meaning to things, this will hel immersion.
