Utilizing his talents, knowledge gained from Full Sail University as well as varies other sources, Buddieizreal AkA Deacon.D has recently revived one of his favored projects; Supernatural (the PvP + Environment edition). Starting with level design and prop placement, the first draft of the players battleground was set to be an abandoned Wearhouse factory which was painted, propped and its lighting set to a brighter tone for better detailing effect whilst editing the abandoned factory.
After a great deal of the first stages of the level's measuring, scaling, propping and lighting was complete, a new concept came to mind known as; "The Forest of Might". A compelling mythology of "The Forest of Might" tells a tale dating back before the creation of man, when a mischievous demi-god stole "The Seed of Creation" from the "Heavens Real", though during his battle with heaven's Angels known as the "Gradians", she had been wounded, causing a single seed to fall into Earth realm. The seed slamming into the earth's surface with the impact of a meteor, absorbed the nearby energy of the world as it planted itself deep with the soil, cause an entire forest to bloom with minutes. The trees inside this forest are known to bare fruit known as "Forbidden Fruit" which can grant the obtaining player tremendous attributes such as "Might" (great strength) "Sight" (ability to see through walls a player's or enemy's weaknesses) and "Time" (ability to move a great speeds and teleport) here's a preview of "The Forest of Might" after its preconstruction...
The video above not only shows the massive layout of this battleground but also features level blueprints, propping stages 2-3 as well as foliage stages 1-2. Keeping with the horror theme of Supernatural, the lighting for this level was set to a modest gloom so to be dark enough to induce fear of the unknown but is well lit by the midnight's full moon and reoccurring flashes of lightning with slight rain. The battleground as well as "The Forest of Might" was then moved to propping stage 4, lighting levels 1 & 2 and then given a few extra features such as weather and level blueprints.
Now that we have a decent battleground on which players may compete, it was time to test the environmental enemies and how players would interact with then as well as one another during gameplay using only ballistic weapons. Weapons and Characters provided by Character Interactor v3, an Unreal Engine plugin, though the plugin was modified to fit this current project. The video below is a simple test of the weapon, character and environmental enemies incorporated into the current gameplay were to test characters and weapons alongside the level design and does not reflect any actual gameplay of Supernatural (PvP+E) prototype product.
Afterwards, Supernatural began to take on the PvP aspect of this project by working to obtain a PvP plugin from the Unreal Marketplace known as "OMPST - Online Multiplayer Shooter Template" to complete the online aspect of this project so that the developers may go into testing for this game's online features. As an example of what this plugin can bring to the Supernatural PvP+E project, we've put together a small gallery of images to better illustrate its usefulness as a PvP online enabler.
