I am going to create a loading system that does not have loading screens and is easily expandable.
The primary influence is dark souls area loading system, because it runs pretty well and is easy to work with. A secondary influence is Quake because of how optimized the game’s loading system is. Thanks John Carmack
Solo Development
By March 1st, as a solo developer, I will create a fleshed-out loading and de-loading system with help from this tutorial for my Session 3.
From Software’s Dark Souls
The way that Dark Souls loads and de-loads is very fast, and seamless, and creates a system similar to that could allow a developer to iterate on levels faster and with fewer roadblocks than other systems.
I am going to be using DSMapStudio made by Katalash to figure out how From Software handles their data, then I am going to try to understand how I can make that system with C# in Unity.
The First 5 hours of work will be dedicated to looking over Dark Souls using the previously mentioned method, and then I will spend some time writing down what I want to do with the loading and de-loading. Finally, the rest of the session will be dedicated to making the system and debugging.
I studied the work of other professionals and took what I learned to make something new.
I used a blog to learn how to translate a temperature to an RGB value.
I learned how to not copy and paste code.
Nellie, who is the Design Director of Xbox Game Studios, said that having the skybox and lighting change when loading a new level looked good.
I am pretty happy with the final result, I completed all of what I wanted to get done, and it looks pretty good.
