CAGD 373 - Destiny 2 Tower

CAGD 373 - Destiny 2 Tower

    My name is Kyle Ramser, and I am currently attending Chico State for Computer Animation and Game Development. I am working in the group Ghost, and our goal is to recreate the Tower area from Destiny 2 for our final project in Game Asset Development. Currently, I am our team’s only main modeller, so I have been working on essentially nothing but models and blockouts, and so far I think it has been going fairly well.





    As for what I have done in our first sprint so far, I was able to finish a lot of the main models that are required for our player controller to experience the level. This includes things like the main ground area that covers the full tower, a modular metal ground that can be plugged into the blockouts, a ramp to get from one level to another, and a set of stairs to get down to some of the vendors on the side of the tower. On top of modeling and UVing some of these, I did the blockout for the scene and props so that the rest of my team knows the size comparison for every prop that we have, as well as where they all go.






    I think that all of these things made a strong start to our process, and now that everything is set up, my team and I will have a much easier time laying out the scene and creating the props. Setting up the blockout was a very important step for all of us to be able to work in tandem and know exactly what each prop should look like and its size. I think this was a strong start, and I am looking to carry this momentum into later sprints.

CAGD 373 - Destiny 2 Tower - Sprint 5

Image
My name is Kyle Ramser, and I am currently working with my group to recreate the Tower, a social space from Destiny 2. We just finished up our fifth sprint of the project, which means we are nearly at the deadline for the game scene. This sprint was a fairly productive one for me, as I was able to finish nine cards, all which were very important to the main layout of our scene, and was able to make some progress on the modeling of a pistol for the main player character. So far, this has proven to be one of the most difficult models I have ever tried to create. This sprint, I focused on finishing the last of our main models. This includes things like the vault wall, the giant overhang in the back of the map, and a modular wall to be used for the left side of the map.I was able to model and UV each of these, as well as add a few smaller things like a target for the shooting range and a Unity local fog to block off the underside of the tower. All I need to do now is to import these models...

Blog Post 4 - Zomb-Merge

  Blog Post 4 - Zomb-Merge My name is Kyle Ramser and I am currently taking Mobile Game Development at CSU - Chico. I have been a part of a team that is working on the mobile game Zomb-Merge, and I am currently acting as the designer on this project. Our team just finished the 4th sprint of our 7 sprint process and had our second digital playtest within the class, allowing our classmates to critique and give feedback on how our game is coming along so far. This sprint was more productive for me than the last one, and I was able to get our +1 design into play, which was my main goal for these past few weeks. To start off, I will bring up the issues I encountered during this sprint. For a large portion of the sprint, I was blocked on a lot of my cards and was unable to complete my cards such as adding a losing screen, adding a victory and switching cities state, and most importantly adding an attack function to the 2048 style puzzle. Without a scoring system, there was no way for me ...

Zomb-Merge - Sprint 3

Image
  Blog Post 3 - Zomb-Merge My name is Kyle Ramser and I am currently a student in the Computer Animation and Game Development major at Chico State. I am focusing on level design and am currently working as the designer on a mobile game with the working title Zomb-Merge for the Mobile Game Development class 377. Our team, Graveyard, just finished up our third sprint out of seven sprints in the semester and had our first digital playtest during this sprint. So far, we are a bit behind our ideal schedule, but now that the game is functioning and the major scripts have been implemented, the rest of our sprints should be able to pick up the pace a bit and put the game in a good place by the end of the process. As for the work that I completed this sprint, it was definitely somewhat lackluster. I had a very long week and did not put in quite as much time as I should have, but was able to put out some of the cards I had assigned. All in all, I have gotten the level completely laid out wit...
