1/2 way there!



Chapter One: The Edge of Hell
Ok, this is where my game starts. I won't go into the story again but you start on a train coming back from another city and the train crashes, you hit your head - bam, amnesia. Cheesy but that can be worked on.
Anyway, I created the background for the title in Photoshop and then created the image for the Seed (the red glowing circle) in the material editor. This is my first time using interactive menus in UI scene, but they are pretty easy to do, especially after having worked in flash for so long.
It then goes into a scene where you hear the train come into the station. I used this matinee sequence, which lasts 13 seconds, to load in all the levels. In fact, The game only appears to take 0.1 seconds to load (using stat levels), on my PC by using level streaming. There is also no slowdown or lag as it's basically a blank screen with a verse from O'Fortuna on which I thought was fitting, all the loading happens without the player realizing.
