Tech

I haven’t updated my blog in a while, so I figured it was time I put some work up here. I’m still working on the Mega Man 2 project, more specifically, creating the models for the enemies on the stage. It’s all blocked out at this point, and much of the environment art is in place. Until I have more to post on that, enjoy the vehicle camera test I created when working on a project similar to Soviet Strike during the PSX era. I found out the hard way that vehicles and pawns adhere to two completely different camera systems in the engine. Vehicles it seems, require a camera per seat, whereas pawns use one camera, and one camera only. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

I’ve just finished creating a tutorial on programming pickups for vehicles in UDK. This covers both ammo and health. I noticed that it was something that I felt wasn’t covered in depth when I needed to learn how to do it for Death Sentence, so I figured I would save others the time. At the end of the tutorial you’ll find the .uc code for both items, and instructions on how to implement it into your game. What are you waiting for? Check it out! And be sure to let me know what you think of it as well.

See, I really do make games and not just write about them! Take a gander at the site I created for Death Sentence. It is still very It’s a great team so far, and I’ve been fortunate enough to hop on, although later in development to work as both an environment artist and web developer. It is a vahicular combat title in a similar vein to Twisted Metal. We’ve created it using the latest Unreal Engine, and it should have a release on the PC and perhaps iOS at some point after.

Flexing my creative talents, I’ve recently finished Conelle Construction’s website. They are a general contracting firm out of Manhattan, NY, who speciailizes in high-end residential and commercial renovations. I also work there as a field supervisor, and AV / IT tech.
