Circulation

Hi guys. My name is Peter. I would like to show you some WIP screenshots from game called Circulation. Me and my brother Andrew working on this project in UDK.I working on assets (modelling, texturing) while Andrew work in engine on environments, materials and lighting. This game is about exploring and puzzle solving. Game genre is 2.5D metroidvania platformer with puzzle elements. Game setting is unrerground sci-fi facility. Please note that there are mostly modular assets on these shots. Props will be added in the future.[Blocked Image: http://static.squarespace.com/static/535f11e…ng?format=1500w]

Thanks for watching!
I would greatly appreciate some comments and feedback. Also I can take additional shots if needed.

You can see more on Circulation website.

Thanks!

Thought I was looking at ns2 assets in spark for a while.

Yep, I was inspired by NS2.

Nicely Done!, reminds me a little of Shadow Complex.

Indeed, level design is similar. I designed levels like in this GDC talk. Gameplay however is more like Cave Story - with no combat. Just exploring and puzzle solving.

Level design in more details was covered in this blog post in our devblog.

This looks awesome! Got any videos?

Videos will be in the future, sorry. Right now we have placeholder character model with rough animations.

Today I made a few new rooms. I tried new way of build them. So now it not just single rooms, now it may be several layers of rooms. In this case we have one big room which you may see from different places. It reduce claustrophobic feeling when you have windows and big spaces and make environments a little more intresting. Here you can see big room with pipes[Blocked Image: http://static.squarespace.com/static/535f11e5e4b0a4907f978c3a/544bcc32e4b0bb5030b2ae2a/544cf69be4b043057fad98ed/1414330017367/1.png?format=1500w] This room is slightly left from previous, you can see big room from here.[Blocked Image: http://static.squarespace.com/static/535f11e5e4b0a4907f978c3a/544bcc32e4b0bb5030b2ae2a/544cf69ce4b016cfe4b14616/1414330016067/2.png?format=1500w] This room is next to previous to the left. It has several floors and interesting form I think. You can still see big room from here.[Blocked Image: http://static.squarespace.com/static/535f11e5e4b0a4907f978c3a/544bcc32e4b0bb5030b2ae2a/544cf691e4b016cfe4b14607/1414330004753/3.png?format=1500w][Blocked Image: http://static.squarespace.com/static/535f11e5e4b0a4907f978c3a/544bcc32e4b0bb5030b2ae2a/544cf694e4b043057fad98e4/1414330008282/4.png?format=1500w][Blocked Image: http://static.squarespace.com/static/535f11e5e4b0a4907f978c3a/544bcc32e4b0bb5030b2ae2a/544cf694e4b016cfe4b14609/1414330007632/5.png?format=1500w] This is another wip room unrelated to previos ones.[Blocked Image: http://static.squarespace.com/static/535f11e5e4b0a4907f978c3a/544bcc32e4b0bb5030b2ae2a/544cf698e4b016cfe4b1460f/1414330014771/7.png?format=1500w]

Why not use UE4?

Because this project started when UE4 wasn't released. We are very comfortable with UE3 and we don't want to rewrite our game code.

This screenshot was taken in early prototyping stages. Here I test jump mechanics and tweaking jump variables such as height, length, speed, etc. [Blocked Image: https://pp.vk.me/c620629/v620629995/1a221/YVIGjxgKgXw.jpg]
