Greetings,
I would like to present the first demo build for the Tower City game play prototype. I do stress this is a work in progress. We still have many months ahead of us to make this prototype demo awesome.
You can download the demo from here!
We're just 1 month into production into the project, and being an online based team things can take time to come together. But what we can present is the beginnings of our prototype demo.
This build showcases a few simple but very important things:

A bit of a departure from the standard showing of UnrealED and mod levels made from FPS engines. This 3 minute video is split up into two parts.
The first part showcases the level design iteration process, which is actually quite important. By designing and creating a strong and well thought out layout for your level you're endeavouring to make the level as strong a gameplay space as possible before you go building things in a level editor. Your level design lead loves this is because it leaves…
This contraption is the reason for my username and is my pride and joy of the years I spent studying at A.I.E. My role in the creation of a working game level for our last assignment was to make this device, pivotal to both the story and gameplay of our level.
This vacuum/hovercraft/animal catcher was made to collect cute animals and deposit them at the factories of a giant totalitarian fast food company in a fictional steampunk future, think "Abe's Oddysee."
Designed to be reasonably low poly…
Part 2 of my old folio.
The creature is part of a low-poly set that each team member had to create a variant of the species. It had an approx 3000 tri limit, 2 x 256x256 diffuse maps. It is fully rigged and was part of learning to create a rig that does not conform to the human shape.
The canyon is part of a team assignment to create a low-poly race track environment in a uniform style. Our theme was looney tunes in space, my responsibility was to create the canyon near the secret alien base.…
These are the still images of the work I completed at the A.I.E. Altogether it made my folio by graduation in 2006.
The first is a low-poly environment. The task was to create a haunted house structure and surrounds within a specifications of approx 3000 tris, only diffuse maps with maximum texture reach of 256px. Unfortunately that render is all I have left of the early project
The second is a creature I created in my spare time and used to practice my simple digital painting skills.
