Game Design Document
The design document was one of my main tasks to this project. It described all important game mechanics, art style, and assets to be used. Always kept up-to-date, it became the base document for discussions, design iterations, reference for AI (artificial intelligence) behavior and testing.
Asset production for the Unreal Engine
As our student project-team was going to build up an entire district of the capital city, we had to plan our assets towards that purpose. We had to limit the number of polygons as much as possible, reuse textures and convert lots of them to «Substances». The many NPC-characters were generated with Adobe’s Fuse / Mixamo. Some of them received a refurbish eventually, to match the historical guidelines of Edge of Revolution.
