Office Retribution - Getting Even!

By Jessica John -
Office Retribution is three-dimensional, top-down type of action-adventure game based on upcoming and well-known genre, popularly known as Brawler. It features hand-to-hand, free-flow combat between the protagonist and large pool of opponents.





Gameplay consists of walking through a level, one section at a time, defeating a group of enemies before advancing to next section; a boss fight normally occurs at the end of each level.

The Story starts with the player being highly frustrated due to the constant nagging of his boss, colleagues making fun of him and him doing same cubicle job everyday sitting in front of slow windows desktop. His anger level reaches to the peek that he can't handle it any more, and decides to take revenge. Hence the player ends up fighting with cubicle co-workers, managers, security guards, H.R. and his boss.

Why should one play this game - It's a cubicle warrior's dream come true! Experience free-flow combat system with cartoon-style storyline and gain instant relief from the office bullies.

Using DirectXTK Input for Keyboard, Mouse & Gamepad

By Jessica John -

For our game we have decided to make use of DirectXTK Toolkit that contains helper classes to work around with Direct3D 11with the help of DirectX SDK. We can utilize it for stuff like making audio using their Audio API, Sprite Batch & Font for rendering UI and text, finally game input through mouse, keyboard and gamepad class. This blog is going to be about using input singleton. You guys are ready, I'm about to blow your mind! Keyboard, Mouse & Gamepad // Resource Manager - Initializing at resource manager class std::unique_ptr<Keyboard>m_Keyboard; std::unique_ptr<Mouse>m_Mouse; std::unique_ptr<Gamepad>m_GamePad; // Call reset m_Keyboard.reset(new Keyboard()); m_Mouse.reset(new Mouse()); m_GamePad.reset(new GamePad()); ResourceManager* GetResource() { return m_refManager;} // Using it inside the player class - Object of the singleton Keyboard::State kb = GetResource()->m_Keyboard->GetState(); Mouse::State ms = GetResource()-...

Pathfinding & Navigation

Path Planning is core component in today's game. A magical profound system that makes computer-controlled characters move towards goals efficiently while avoiding obstacles and hazards. Visit: http://jessicajosejohn.blogspot.com/  for more on the demo of path finding. Getting started with proper path finding behavior can be daunting in making it smooth. The internet is filled with descriptions of standard A* algorithms for grid-based navigation. But modern 3d games often involve complex environment, right? So how do the programmers go about making the characters move around in those? Why don't we see zig-zag movement of characters towards you with good AI? In this blog, we'll take a short look at how we can navigate the character using Navigation Mesh , which was particularly found in Left Dead 4 by Valve. Navigation meshes are an efficient way of representing walkable regions in the game world. A collection of connected convex polygons. Each polygon is a n...

Milestone I - Basic Setup of Office Retribution

By Jessica John -

Brief Overview This progress is all about loading in different 3D models and items with the help of FBX, performing advance collision checks like Nav Mesh Collision, Line to Triangle Intersection, Sphere to Sphere Intersection, Sphere to Capsule Intersection, and Capsule to Capsule Intersection to help the player aim properly at the target, and to receive impact of the hit; and secondly to let the player be inside the level by applying Nav Mesh check across the platform. Then we proceeded with smooth transition between few animations and interpolation of the bind pose. No doubt getting smooth animation has always been pain in the back, but we were really happy once we had got it working. Gradually, we polished the game, by managing the user interface and making it more appealing by receiving right feedback in terms of key press and change in animation of UI Combo bar as the player punches. Stay in tuned for more updates! For now lets take seat back & enjoy the basic gamepl...
