DEV UPDATE: MAP EDITOR TOOL
Developments for Herogrinder are going strong and while we are continuously working on preparing new character assets like armors, weapons, hairstyles and so on, we are also focusing on developing the game itself. Our main project this month was streamlining and populating our map editor tool, which allows us to model arenas in 3D. We have implemented almost 1000 assets into the tool and have categorized them (walls/doors, floor tiles, terrain objects, light sources, and designs like small objects, decals, and particle effects) to create the file architecture for all visual environmental elements of Herogrinder.
Our next main task is to turn the editor tool into a testing environment for characters and animations, basically to see the finished product in the game environment. With a few editor scripts, we are now able to see the working models and animations that our 3D design team creates and finalize them with the involvement of our entire studio. And all through our editor tool.
