SAG Week-1 2 Ideas

I would like to focus on love and horror in this 2 genre game because I like love stories and horror more impress to audiences.


Below are 2 different approaches for the narratives:

First idea: A suicided high school student turned into a ghost, and he lost his memory. He chased three girls during his high school life, and all he needed to do was find out which girl made him want to commit suicide before he could go to heaven.


Second idea: A man lived a happy life with his girlfriend in the beginning. But every day, the environment around him became weirder and weirder, and even his girlfriend. For example, she will prepare a rich breakfast for him at the beginning and use some rotten food for breakfast in the next few days. In the end, the man realized that his girlfriend was dead in his hands, and everything above was an illusion after he killed his girlfriend.

SAG Week-16 Fog

Image
After asking the lecturer's opinion, everyone thought that the lighting effect of the flashlight was not good, so I removed the fog (Volumetric Light Beam Package). And, I adjusted the torchlight lighting color to be a cooler color. I tried to make fog using the particle system, but it didn't work well and it looked like smoke. I also try this package(Volumetric Fog & Mist 2), I forgot to screenshot the outcome I achieved. The outcome I am also not satisfied with is because the fog effect is too strong and it makes point lights look weird. I changed the way to trigger interactable outline, initial I used distance to trigger, now I changed to use when the player point on the interactable item then the outline will be triggered. Volumetric Fog & Mist 2 Package: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/fullscreen-camera-effects/volumetric-fog-mist-2-162694 The resources I used this week: SFX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0HadgAC0m8

SAG Week-12 Backpack System

Image
Since the CorgiOutlineSDF package has a perspective effect, items with lines can also be seen in the case of obstacles, so I will disable these interactive items first. Only enable obstacles when they are removed. I also researched how to make the characters look scarier. In the end, I think the characters look scarier when the pupils are small. Finally, I added the backpack system. Players can see what items they have through the backpack system. But this system cannot be selected by arrow key, only by cursor.

SAG Week-17 Final Polishing

Image
I watched this video to learn how to create a ghost shader, but it seems like require HDRP, so I just tried a similar way to create a glow shader and apply it to ghost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFMOD9jLCUg It looks nice, but it uses emission so it will not be affected by light. I don't want players can see the ghost in the dark. After that, I tried changing the glow to the base color. The results are not as good as emissions, but still better than before. I took the lecturers' advice and made the fan sharper, which felt more dangerous. And made the class section more prominent. Besides, I also applied texture to glasses. Now they look dirty. I used this texture and made it transparent in Photoshop: https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/dirty-glass-texture-for-background-gm479289182-67884789
