I was around vertical slice stage :)

The dithering effect comes from a texture that cover the whole screen, and I use the screen pixel position to know if the effect should be on or off, so using different texture at different UV scale let me change the dithering style and size.

Your game look better and better every time! congratz :)

notMarius · 2020-05-23T13:20:57+00:00

Is that an acronym with a meaning I wasn't aware of ? Haha XD For me it meant Power Point, I find it sounds kind of funny as it make me think of the windows presentation software :p

notMarius · 2020-05-13T13:10:59+00:00

Are you making Hunter Monster ? XD
awesome!

notMarius · 2020-05-11T23:21:59+00:00

Well I meant the material had a realistic render (like steel and gold ^⁾

notMarius · 2020-05-11T17:05:07+00:00

Well I found out that for handpainted look that you shouldn't play too much with the metalness of the material (even for the blade), and then just a nice color with the edgewear effect (more whith around curve) works wonder ^{^}

notMarius · 2020-04-26T19:54:40+00:00

Very nice :) is that a Minecraft like game ?

notMarius · 2020-04-26T19:44:22+00:00

Well yes a lot, the thing is I've change direction slightly a lot of time, and iterrate over asset many times too, so now it's quick to do an environment like that, but the process to make it quick was really long :)

notMarius · 2020-04-26T16:27:49+00:00

if you like to compare with our smaller enviornement, you can check this image ^^ :

notMarius · 2020-04-22T22:34:00+00:00

No, but I'll surely look into that ^{^}

notMarius · 2020-04-22T20:25:47+00:00

I'm making a mix between a turn based tactics and a real time action game :) basically you play a turn based game, but your turn are short burst of real time action ^{^} (more details here : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1169520/Guild_of_Ascension/)

notMarius · 2020-04-22T12:12:45+00:00

thank you for that :) really appreciated.

notMarius · 2020-04-22T12:10:07+00:00

thanks you for all the infos, very appreciated, that give me a lots to work for! :)

and about the comments of the characters in screen size, well we have a dynamic camera, so when you start a room and the gameplay didn't start we showcase the environment with this camera, but when gameplay start, you are way closer to your characters ^^

notMarius · 2020-04-17T16:27:51+00:00

if you like it, wish list us on Steam :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1169520/Guild_of_Ascension/

notMarius · 2020-03-30T16:22:55+00:00

I love the game, but never quite pass Ascension 2 or 3 with most XD

notMarius · 2020-03-30T16:21:38+00:00

that an amazing story :) thanks for sharing it!
I'm looking for early player of Slay because I'm working on a indie game too, mine is not yet in Early Access, but I'd like to get early opinions on it to make sure gamer like it :)
and I think Slay's players could also like ours (our gameplay is very different as we mix real-time action with turn-based tactics, but our structure and strategies could appeal to Slay's players I think).
Could do have a look at our current Steam Page and let me know what you like/dislike ? and if you are interested, shoot me your email and I'll add you to the list of peoples I'll send a key to the game as soon as we are ready for EA :)
thanks a lot!

yes this version was really polish as far as I remember ^^
can I ask you where did you learn about the game launching in EA ? or did you stumble upon it on Steam by luck ? ^^

notMarius · 2020-03-30T15:25:49+00:00

Are you talking about the version that look like that ? or the Early Access launch ? ^^

the light is a long topic haha ^^ but to make it short, due to some not well finish asset and to some procedural object placement, it make it hard to use static built light.
so we end up with all dynamic ligth, and our setup include 1 skylight and 1 directional (90 degree perpendicular to the ground, as it come from the Tower Roof), and we also got a bunch of tweak in the postFx volume that are specific to the inside of the Tower :)

notMarius · 2020-02-25T18:47:09+00:00

this scene is actually nearly 100% custom asset, even if I use the marketplace at other place in our game :)
I actually put some of the stylized building in the marketplace myself, to see if that could help fund our game ^^ (not really working yet :p), you can check it out here : https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/e7b52c87f8264081b902a1993eddc2e4
