The Dark Village

1. First Person Perspective game - zombie shooter demo The Dark Village Raymond McWilliams Tom Wasniewski Jasmin Costello Damien Duignan

2. Introduction Tom Wasniewski

3. Game elements • Scene landscape and water • Buildings, walls, bridge and furniture assets • Textures • Ambient lights • Zombie model • Bones • Animations • Spawning • Always-follow-the-player algorithm • Rag-doll effect (not implemented)

4. Game elements continued • Player • First Person Perspective camera movement • Flashlight • Weapons • Chain gun • Muzzle flash • Rocket Launcher • Smoke coming out of a rocket projectile • Grenade Launcher • Gravity affected exploding projectiles • Explosions • Dynamically generates force fields

5. Game elements - continued • Sound and Music • Other minor features • Simple GUI • Crosshair • Ammo • Score

6. Game concept and scene environment Tom Wasniewski

7. Game characteristics • Embracing darkness • General ambient light • Fog • Spooky atmosphere created using the torch-like light • A range of weapons to choose from • Zombie models chasing the player

8. Scene Landscape • ANT Landscape add-on • River in the ‘canyons’ • Irregular convexities for a natural look

9. Static blender assets Raymond McWilliams

10. Blender Assets • Blender Assets

11. Blender Guns • Mini-Gun • Rocket Launcher • Grenade Launcher

12. Unity Assets Wind Trees Water

13. Placing Objects into world • Placed all the assets into the world. • Put textures on the assets. • Added physics onto Blender assets to get them to interact with the world and player.

14. Zombie model Jasmin Costello and Damien Duignan

15. The enemy model • Created a zombie model with placeholder textures • Added bones to the model

16. Animation & Scripts • Simple running animation • Script to make zombie follow the player • Script to make the zombie respawn on death

17. Rag-doll Effect • Aims • Create a realistic Ragdoll Model • Realistic reaction to forces such as bullets and gravity • Convert from Animation/AI to Ragdoll • Completed so far: • Realistic model that reacts to forces

18. Rag-doll Effect • Problems • Unity Ragdoll wizard requires model to have exact number of parts • Getting model to switch from Animation/AI to Ragdoll

19. The Player Tom Wasniewski

20. The FPP camera implementation • Main camera is player’s view • Basic movement • forward • backward • strafe • Mouse-look • Jump • Capsule shape collider representing the player

21. Flashlight • Spot light with certain range and angle of projection • Intensity • Colour • Toggle option • Creating the ‘survival’ feeling

22. Weapons, Projectiles and Explosions Tom Wasniewski

23. Shooting, yeah! • Missile projection upon pressing a fire button • Force applied to the missile upon instantiating • Collision detection • Explosion upon collision with another object • Force field generatedacting upon nearby rigid bodies • Particle system flames

24. Chain gun • Fast rate of fire • Large amount of ammo • Small bullets • Muzzle flash

25. Rocket Launcher • Slow rate of fire • Small amount of ammo • Large projectile • Smoke coming out of the rockets

26. Grenade Launcher • Slow rate of fire • Moderate amount of ammo • Large projectile • Projectile motion reacting to gravity

27. Final words… We will be over soon, we promise. Tom Wasniewski

28. Problems encountered • Animation • Rag-doll effect • Complexity of Unity software • Scripting • Component properties • Physics and 3D environment programming • Lighting issues • Lags with 2 or more zombie models

29. Things we could have done… but missed the time for • More weapons • Pistol • Shotgun • More HUD components • Player Health • Zombie spawning points • Game scenario • 2 player shooting arena combat
