Hello Gamedev community,

Project Discord's development team started a video devblog of the game. This is the first video of the development blog series, and we hope to keep making this kind of videos, with new updates, features, walkthrough tutorials and so on.

Hope you like it.

Hi guys

We’ve finished our second episode of development blog. This one is mainly focused on the motion capture process for door opening mechanics and the opening/closing animations of the character.
And also the animation implementation method.

Click on image to see the Youtube video.

Hope you it’s useful to you.

Today we've managed to add the door opening animation to the main build.



It still has some minor bugs that need to be fixed...but it's still work in progress.

Hi guys,

We’ve managed to twitch a bit the lighting system of the rooms. Added some lens flare and light flickering effect, plus we’ve managed to solve the problem of some minor bugs.

The full video can be found on our youtube channel:

We’ve updated the “Feature Blog” section of our website with a few articles about our team and the development of our project.

Check them out: http://www.project-discord.com/category/features-blog/

In the last couple of weeks we've made some serious progress with our project. The world biulding team have expanded a few buildings, giving them the opportunity to fill the rooms and corridors with object that will give a bigger horror impact to the game.

Hope you like it.

[Update] In the past month we have made some major changes to the game development. One of them is leaving behind Unity and moved the whole project to Unreal Engine. We can tell that it was a smart move. So far, Unreal made the work much easier, having many of the tools and integrations already implemented, compared with Unity...where we tried to make our own tools to ease the development process, but we ended up having so much errors. It was very frustrating.
That being said, we've made some screenshots with the new game engine.

We have also made a new DevBlog Episode, the third one. You can see it on our Youtube channel:

Hope you like the changes.

[New Update] In this video we will show you the progress made on the AI
system, and also the improvement made on the door opening mechanics.

AI system:
-improved root locomotion



-improved run in range



Door opening mechanics:
-interactable doors from distance



-improved: forward walking to the door (animation)



So far Unreal Engine helped us a lot with the development, and it turns
out to be way more stabile than Unity (no offence to Unity users). We
encountered so many errors on Unity, and that's why we decided to make
this major change with the cost of losing some precious time to get use
with it. But, we made the right choice.
