WEEK 9 (MAR 08)

 

Work continues

It was a quiet calm week and I was working from home mostly. I have a couple new assets, couple animations were tested and I still can't make my mind about SF trip.

 

New toy

Remember "Claptrap" from Borderlands2? A couple of days ago I was thinking about my project and remembered this great game. I should have something similar in my project - I thought. I will not be able to show such a strong annoying character of my robot but still, it would be nice to have something driving around. 

I made a sketche of three different robots. The base of my robot was @StarshipRobots food delivery robot and I used different vehicles for each robot. I came up with this result:

So I had this quick mood board of a new product called 3dl-vre. In Borderlands2 their general-purpose robot Claptrap is named CL4P-TP and I used the same idea naming my 372industries Delivery-Robot "3dl-vre". This robot will deliver small pieces of hardware from point A to B. While modeling it, I saw a great SAMSUNG video of their robot with artificial intelligence and it will be my main inspiration. 

I modeled it quickly and implemented in the engine to check how it looks. 

Plans for next week

For the next week, I am planning to do the next section - a small room with a couple of computers. It is located near OS instalment section. A couple office assets will be needed.

No GDC for us

It is official, GDC cancelled. And in the end, there were only two people who wanted to go to San Francisco no matter what. That is the situation that we are now. The virus spreads and it will be out of control soon. We have to keep our heads up and keep on working.
