Hi everyone, I would like to share with you some early footage of a game that I've been working for the past year.  KICKSTARTER
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/680102942/freezeme
What is FreezeME?
Is a 3D platformer that tries to resemble the platformers of the N-64 era.
Anything new?
The main distinguishing mechanic is that the player (R) can take pictures and “freeze” for a short period of time enemies and objects, generating new and interesting gameplay situations.
What is the plot about?
The Evil Fat the Cat, following his attempts to create a Free-Dog-World, has kidnapped R's best friend (N).
But to enter Fat the Cat possession's, where N is secluded, R will need to collect enough of an ancient material to be able to forge a special key.
What engine are you using?
Unity3d
On what platforms are you planning to release?
Steam, Wii U, PC, Linux and MAC.
Release Date?
TBC
Hope you like it!
Thank you,
|

That is definitely early. But it looks pretty promising.
Character behaviour seems Mario-esque and tight, not floaty/loose like other 3D games.

The first and second images are kind of confusing.

Just watched the video (without audio). Looks like you're off to a promising start.

You had me at N64-era platformer  ; I personally believe that was the golden age for platforming games (I know I know: them's fightin' words!). The game seemed a little generic on the ground, but I started getting that old platformer vibe when you were jumping around in the air. The lighting seems a bit on the harsh side though. Following! |

Thanks very much for all the feedback guys, really, much appreciated!! @Impmaster - Agreed, that probably wasn’t the most appropriate selection. I was in a rush when I posted this  . There are a few more screenshots here ( http://screenshotsaturday.com/user/RNC_FreezeMe.html ), in any case, I guess the best way to get a grasp of what the game is about is to watch the video posted ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0co6-CdJhYQ#at=23 ) @InvisibleMan - The light is indeed too harsh at the moment. I´m still messing around with that, also the current colour palette is not completely to my liking either. @CasePortman - I sent you a private message  |

Some screenshots of the last puzzle I've been working on. Also changed a bit the light and applied some color correction (still not completely happy with it )   |

Looks great! Love how you're bringing back the old playstation platformer merged with a nintendo 64 style along with the freeze mechanic, a big plus in my books!

Wow, it looks like the enemies transferred from paper to game quite well I like how the spider has a smile on his back; it's a bit like an angler fish  |

I've been working on many things, from the usual fixing bugs, to implementing new animations and shaders but mainly working on the gameplay logic of the levels. Also got the help of Case Portman who is composing some really nice tunes for the game, cannot wait to share them! . While I'm working on putting together a sort of alpha version so people can check it out, find below some screenshots of the current progresss. Hope you like them    |

Another week went by… working a lot but it doesn’t matter how much, it always feels that not much progress is done . Again, I’ve been working mainly on the gameplay puzzles, also started working on the level boss battles a bit. Find below some screenshots of the current progresss. Hope you like them     |

Everything is really, really bright in your photos. I'm not sure if it's an effect or not, but I feel like it should be toned down a little bit to feel more natural.

I have recently switched the rendering path in Unity Forward Rendering to Deferred Lighting, but I’m still not fully convinced . The main advantage of deferred for my game is that you can use shadows with point lights. I started working on some indoor areas where sun (directional light) is not reachable and the result was not fully of my liking. Even though supposedly I could use lighmaps for those, since my levels are quite big, the final resolution of the lighmpams there makes them almost not noticiable. On the other hand, the aliasing is more noticiable using deffered as only some post processing and not hardware can be done. I will stick for the moment with deferred and see how it goes, below some results:     Also, I've playing around with some IA and uploaded a video of the main character "toying" with one of the game´s foes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf4Ygpa6W7M&feature=youtu.beHope you like it! |

Thanks for the nice comments again InvisibleMan! There have been a few changes since my last update, the most noticeable one has been the redesign of R, including the mesh and animations. The AI has been reworked a bit as well as the HUD, where all the elements have been redesign and some new code has been added to it. The main directional light has been rotated to be completely perpendicular to the objects, so the player can see the shadows of the objects perpendicular to them and measure better their distance. I have also started working with the profiler, still a long way to go, but with a few tweaks here and there, got around 30% fps increase. Finally, I have implemented some new FXs. I have put together a new video showing some of these developments, really hope you like it . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U9zKtAHgxQ&feature=youtu.be |
