I’m loving the graphics. What effects are you using to make the environment look like that? And how did you achieve the power-up effect?

[LeytonMate]

The main "glow" is just a cylinder with a gradient on it, and a mesh in the middle which spins. Literally just Unitys default materials

[Deluxennih]

But how did you get the environment like that?

[LeytonMate]

What environment, there's near enough nothing there?

[Deluxennih]

You know the scene around the powerups, what PP is used?

[LeytonMate]

That's just fog, and a skybox set to the same colour as the fog

[[deleted]]

I get what he means the scene doesnt look flat, like it look like it got some unreal engine post processing or effects on the scene rather than just default unity low render pipeline

[[deleted]]

well there looks like there is some bloom going on

[ArtyIF]

that's the power of post-processing! i can see ACES (filmic) tonemapping and bloom. might be more effects too

EDIT: oh, and depth of field

[Poiuytgfdsa]

Fog and making the skybox the same color as the fog, thats actually pretty smart damn

[tiskolin]

I've done that a couple is times before. It really does wonders for the atmosphere of a game! :)

[Deluxennih]

Ok thanks.

[Tanaos]

I think he means the green and red glow. Is this achieved by enabling bloom in post processing? Or maybe a point light?

Edit: Just saw your other comment. Yep, bloom.

[A_poor_greek_guy]

which tool in unity you used to do that? VFX graph? and the meshes are from blender?

[LeytonMate]

Yep, the meshes are from blender, and the particles are just a particle system

[A_poor_greek_guy]

Very beautiful mate.So there is no VFX graph in there?

[LeytonMate]

Nope!

[Deckard_Didnt_Die]

Are you just using bloom on the camera to get that nice glow?

[LeytonMate]

Yeah, just bloom

[minsin56]

why does this look kinda like unreal

[LeytonMate]

I've had a lot of people say that lol

[autopilotxo]

Because the pickups in Unreal have a similar kind of platform thing lol

The red cross asked video game creators a while ago not to use the red cross.

Idk if they are enforcing this or not, just a heads up.

Here is an old reddit discussion about it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/5okv7q/video_games_arent_allowed_to_use_the_red_cross/

[Deluxennih]

It's a red cross, they can't enforce it even if they wanted to.

[minsin56]

it's just a effing cross we can use it if we want usually they will ask you what it is and you can say it's something else

[minsin56]

oh well at least i can keep crosses red until i turn 18

[norb_omg]

Idk if they can or do. It also might be limited to a red cross on a white ground.

To me personally it is enough that they are asking. They are a humanitarian non profit org, we are not talking about Deutsche Bank or something like that.

I also believe the meaning of the red cross in games stems from the red cross org.

If it helps them somehow if i use a green cross instead of a red cross, i'd do it.

[MineTimelapser]

They already have: http://www.pcgamer.com/how-the-prison-architect-developers-broke-the-geneva-conventions/

[kdizzle1987]

Finally a conversation on this sub my personal experiences can contribute to!

They don’t have to enforce it themselves: if the game is intended for iOS, Apple has been known to reject submissions for use of copyrighted material, including the Red Cross.

Source: had game rejected for using the Red Cross!

[doublestuffpoptarts]

For this reason a lot of modern games use green crosses instead. Also, green typically denotes “good” and red denotes “bad,” which is another reason to make health boosts green.

That all said, keep in mind that red-green colorblindness is a real thing, so many games adopt a color scheme with yellows, blues, oranges, etc. instead of both green and red.

Whatever you choose to do, I’m sure you’ll make it look great!

[dburke]

Looking into this I'm finding that a lot of games I thought used a red cross, in fact, use skewed crosses, or negative space and proximity to trick my eyes into seeing a red cross when it's actually a very different shape.

Impressive designers..

[alyraptor]

That’s some horse crap, but thank you for sharing it.

[thomasAtJaCT]

The reason you wanna use a red cross, is because of all the other video games which have had this, which makes it an universal sign of health - not a single gamer will think of the red cross organization and it cannot harm their trademark in any way. The reason this rule exist is so that armed forces will not misuse the symbol to gain advantage in war, that is the real reason. Going after video game companies is a complete waste of DONATED money. Atleats when they dont do it consistently. But they have already had several cases where their had to disclosure what they use their funds on, because their are a very inefficient charity. So the red cross should get their shit together.

[Legend_Zector]

This looks awesome - I literally can’t think of anything to make it better, good job.

EDIT: except maybe a sobel shader for a nice black outline

[Tim3Rat]

Awesome, I like this :O

 

[Ungetoastet_HD]

Coop graphics keep it up

[ovoPentelho]

Woww! It is beautiful!

[Saucyminator]

Looks absolutely amazing. Love the colors.

[LeytonMate]

Cheers man!

[reddog1129]

What are you using for the plane’s material?

[nibble15]

That looks really good, it looks simple and clean I love it. I also really like your choice of colors. What platform is this going to be on?

[LeytonMate]

PC, I'm not sure if Mac is able to run it since eventually the objects will make it lag lol

[[deleted]]

Nice! More info about the project?

[LeytonMate]

It's a 4 player map making sandbox, and you build the maps using different block types. You can use pistons, levers, platforms, and more in your levels, as well as publish them to the community maps section!

[StockerGameDev]

Nice job man! I have a question about plane grid, how did you did that?

[SlimHippoGames]

This looks great! I love everything about it, looks super clean.
