This week is the last week of college, so I’ve spent more time on other subjects to get feedback one last time. For our project, I’ve made the penguin animation more readable and started working on a sphinx for the next level (egypt). It took me some time designing, but the model is now nearly… Continue reading [ART] Small update

1. The post-processing effect wouldn’t build, but that is solved now. 2. I added an extra options menu for the sound, now you can adjust volume, quality, mute it and select which kind of mode you want. 3.

I’ve finished up placing props in the jungle level, now only the hazards should be added for this level to be complete. Beside placing props,… Continue reading [ART] Update on the jungle level, nearly finished.
