(Automatically translated from Korean) Hello! Today, we would like to share the process of creating spider webs for our game. Spider webs are obstacles placed on the map that hinder players, but can be easily destroyed. Initial Version This is the initial version of the spider we
(Translated automatically from Korean.) Hello everyone! Last time, we introduced the tile-based editing tool we use. This time, we'd like to introduce another tool our team utilizes for level creation: the vertex-based editing tool. To briefly compare the two tools... Tile-Based
(Translated automatically from Korean.) Hello everyone! Today, we'd like to introduce our team's internal tile-based level design tool we use for our game development. Our game features a top-down perspective with varied heights and 3D terrain. These landscapes are made up of til
(Automatically translated from Korean) Hello! In this devlog, we'd like to introduce how the flight system in the game has been improved over time. 1. Early Version The early version was implemented by simply applying force using a pre-made graph. At this point, it was impossible
Hello! This time, I’d like to write about how we improved our weapon rotation handling. In our game, weapons rotate for various reasons, which means they can be seen from many different angles. To represent this, we sometimes draw pre-rotated sprites, and other times we rotate im
Hello! Today, we'd like to introduce our game's pathfinding system. Our first system was a simple tile‑grid approach. With the A* algorithm, it explores the terrain in eight directions: north, south, east, west, and the four diagonals. In the early game the terrain was simple, bu
Hello! Today, I’d like to share the process of dynamically rendering pixel art. The reason for implementing this at first was for a newly added monster. It needed to smash the ground around it freely with its head, which was hard to express with simple images. So I used RenderTex
Hello! Today, I’d like to talk about the work we did to make placing doors (and windows) easier. In our previous game, placing doors was relatively difficult. The reason it was difficult was because you had to create a hole in the wall before placing a door. The pain of placing d
Hello! Today, I’d like to talk about how we improved the feeling of passing through doors in our game. Actually, this was something we worked on quite a while ago. Initial State of the Door This is the door we originally made. How does it look? At the time, we didn’t feel anythin
Hello! Today, I’d like to briefly share how we improved the movement of grass. Initial Version This is the grass that existed in the early stages of development. When we placed it in the game, the static appearance looked dull, so we tried adding a wind-swaying effect. To achieve
Hello! Today, I'd like to write about how we improved the bridge in our game. In our game, terrain objects like the bridge shown above appear frequently. Although it looks simple, it was outside of the in-game tile system, so placing it required unnecessarily complex work. Manual
Hello! Today, I'd like to briefly write about how we improved the terrain lighting effects in our game. Our game's original terrain lighting was implemented by storing light information in screen space. This means that the light was just a simple flat image blend effect. This imp
(Automatically translated from Korean) Hello! Today, we'd like to briefly write about a graphic effect for differentiating terrain of different heights. Our game features the concept of elevation in its terrain, and landscapes of various heights appear. However, due to the nature
Hello! Today, I'd like to talk about the process we went through to create the initial rope in our game. What is a Rope? In our game, the rope is an object that players can grab and hang onto. It is mainly used to diversify the terrain by placing it on cliff areas. The idea for t
Hello! This time, I’d like to share the story of how we created the shadow map. Our team consists of just two programmers, so the game tends to look visually plain. As such, we’ve been thinking a lot about how to make the game visuals feel richer. One of the ideas we came up with
Hello! We are Team OOPArts, currently developing Frostory. This time, we’d like to introduce the dialogue system of our game. At the beginning of development, we were quite inexperienced in optimizing our workflow. We even made a very inconvenient editor and kept using it, unawar
Hello! This is Team OOPArts, currently developing Frostory. This time, we’d like to discuss the considerations we had about pixel-perfect rendering in the early stages of development. At the beginning of development, we didn’t pay much attention to pixel-perfect rendering. (In fa
Hello! This is Team OOPArts, currently developing Frostory. Today, we would like to briefly introduce how we create art resources in our game. Please note that our team uses the Unity engine and Aseprite for creating pixel art! 1. Pivot Issue The biggest issue when creating resou
Hello, this is Team OOPArts, currently developing Frostory. During the game development process, we often encounter unexpected problems. The object sorting method mentioned in a previous post was one such issue. In this post, we will discuss how we resolved this problem. 1. Issue
Hello! We are Team OOPArts, developing Frostory. Our game is a top-down view game, a perspective widely used in game development for decades. Therefore, many of the technical issues we faced with the top-down view were unexpected. The first challenge we encountered was the issue
