Way to the Party

A short exploration game based on the fictional universe of the Backrooms

6

The first thing I've done on this project is to work on an infinite procedural level generator
It's a tile based generation and on each tile there is 4 or 3 walls with a random shape and a random size
When the count of the spawned reaches the number about 50 some hallucinations can appears
After 30 seconds the light of the tile shutdown

For the second level, the generation is again random, but the tiles are hand made by our Game Artist, they are just instantiated in a random order

When the player are in light of sight and less than 5 meters to the enemy a post processing effect will be apply on the camera
If they are in the center of the screen, the post processing effect will stop
If the player don't look it for 5 seconds he dies
If the player is behind a wall, the post processing effect will stop

In the level 2 after 15 Tiles a difference with a trigger inside will be instantiated, if the player walk in the trigger a new entity will appear
A sound is played and the Horde start to move, the player need to run
The Horde will accelerate with the time
If the player is reached by the Horde, a strong post processing effect will by apply

The project was very heavy and there was a big performance problem due to the large size of the assets, light effects and post processing

That's how I have learned to use the LOD & Culling tools of UE4

One of my non programming favorite thing is in game cinematics and animations.

I have made a cinematic for each level in the game

I love Sound Design too, so I have hand made few sounds for this project
