Hoverboards and Stylized Environments - OVERRIDER Devlog

[@theBejourn]

I love seeing a dev blog from an actual indie studio who knows how to design and prototype software!! Excellent work. I enjoyed seeing your workflow and the game elements you've implemented already. Keep it up! You've earned a subbed and a like!

[@dreamteckstudio]

Thank you! And welcome aboard.

I saw those weird cloud lines in the distance, and I was sure they were part of a big big stucture, like some sort of giant ruin. I think the game would look insane if you added some giant structures far off, like the giant trees in elden ring for example, that would make the game's world feel so big and intimidating. Good work guys this is amazing!

[@dreamteckstudio]

Oh boy, you are in for a treat then! Just you wait!

[@memile]

@@dreamteckstudio HOLY MOLY! YOU GUYS WERE ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME!

[@ThePiprian]

I've been watching devlogs for the last couple of weeks and until now I was wondering why none of them was trying to make a fun movement system. This looks amazing! Keep it up!

[@dreamteckstudio]

It could be an unpopular opinion but I think movement systems aren't a big trend in games nowadays and maybe that's why. But we really miss that.

[@cupidzsnakes6865]

Love that I’m finally seeing another build from scratch devlog series especially with such a fun movement system and I can’t wait till recruiting is expanded upon

Loving the way this game is coming along! That Character model def needs a nice long scarf/cape to flow in the wind whilst moving around in high speeds! 💨

This is awesome, that movement system looks so good

[@CobbDev]

Incredible devlog. Maintained my interest throughout and left me excited to play this game! Can't wait to see more!

[@AaronAsherRandall]

This is one of the best and more entertaining devlogs I have seen! I love them main hover board mechanic and how it evolved. I also love the 2D concept art. I would recommend for the main character 3D model you either pick a more anime-ish style or a more western Overwatch style. I think either or would serve you well, but the 3D model needs to be a bit more defined and stylized in my opinion. Otherwise, I wish I was on your guys team! What a cool looking project!

[@Bo-kq8tn]

doing flips after launching off a ramp to get a speed boost looks really satisfying, that's a heck of a win for "it's a feature not a bug" lol! trying to problem solve making a quality randomly generated open world level sounds like an interesting challenge... I hope it goes well!

[@Simon_Laserna]

Awesome work! Loved your take on generation of level design based on a classic open world level design processes. Really excited to se how you progress with this. Open games that significantly focus on traversal are always big hits for me.

[@dreamteckstudio]

We really hope this approach works out!

Great work. I'm excited to see more.

good on you for getting the hoverboard to work in unity. I've spent weeks trying to have it's speed increase to no avail

[@tommallama9663]

I love the direction your game is taking! I think your Main Character and world are starting to look very Jack and Daxter like. I think that looks great :)

[@dreamteckstudio]

Daxter for the PSP is one of my all time favorites ❤️

[@lawrence9713]

okay, this could turn out extremly epic. when the player is in air it could perform awesome board tricks, like spiderman is doing some awesome poses between swings. eyes nay, overall design yay

[@promaniq2437]

Много яка игра. Готин акцент. Браво, добре че има такива хора. Пожелавам ви успех без препъвания с код и бъгове.

[@Kennedy00Louis]

I like how big brain you guys are to create the game, using math to create and obscure points of interest in a procedurally generated landscape sounds, well... *insane and painful :D* but also really damn impressive and innovative if it actually works out, cuz I don't think I've ever seen this kind of method being used for the map of any game. Honestly this whole game could make a very interesting GDC talk.

[@dreamteckstudio]

It is a very big IF and you will be able to see how this unfolds step by step. There is some math involved but it goes hand in hand with design. We need to approach designing the blocks and rules for spawning in a smart way. Can't wait to show and tell more about it!

can see my self playing this game at 3 A.M

[@thehatmaker8762]

so exited for more content of this game, like I love the games idea

I don't really play that much. But I do enjoy watching video logs of issues from people who tackle the unkwnow challenges of making their own game. Subscribed.

[@micahphoenix3621]

This totally sounds like something I'd buy and enjoy playing. It's also refreshing to finally see and Indie dev studio that knows how to have a good workflow, create a fun yet professional devlog, and overall have their Sh*t together. Looks great!

Getting strong Motocross Madness vibes from this. Excellent.

[@TheLongHairedFellow]

Sooooooo excited to speedrun this, I think the momentum mechanic will be cool in the way that it allows the freedom of deciding how you build up momentum.... to then fling yourself at the speed of light towards the crystal.

[@dreamteckstudio]

Our thoughts exactly! It's going to be a lot about momentum - gathering and preserving. But also exploration and some strategy.

Looks cool as hell, for sure caught my attention

[@arsnakehert]

The hoverboard movement gameplay looks pretty fun by itself, and the idea of the game as a whole as described sounds amazing and indeed like something I would play I might prefer this to be some kind of linear game with a handcrafted world rather than one where the levels are generated, however I think it still sounds pretty fun and interesting

Great video. A game like Tribes had some great movement similar to your game might be worth checking out. The environment looks good but there needs to be more slopes and changes in elevation, mountains to ride quickly down.

[@noyza2132]

the game sounds very nice, RPG crew resource management and fast hoverboard exploration are two very different mechanics, so the success depends on how they will mesh together

The game looks so fun! I cant wait to get my hands on it, no matter how much it costs. And could you maybe make a video explaining the terrain merging stuff? I was really intrigued when i first saw it.

[@nikkiofthevalley]

It's literally just going through the mesh arrays and "zippering" them together. Of course, you do have to take care with the UVs & vertex normals and change them around a bit so you don't have duplicate data, but that isn't too difficult to do if you know how the structures work.

[@dreamteckstudio]

Will gladly go in-depth about the terrain generation and how it works. It involves matrix transformations and data resampling. No UVs, vertex and normals editing since we are using the Unity terrain system which us heightmap-based.

[@Steveplays28]

Storm Dart looks so awesome, well done!

[@TrueJaboOfficial]

This is gonna be a great game

[@dreamteckstudio]

Fingers crossed!

[@JustAnotherGamer1005]

I'm new to game-development and I was already starting a bit on my (racing) game. I can model and design, program a bit, but don't have a grasp of the workflow, how much to make in Blender and how much to piece together in Unreal Engine. This video helped me pinpoint a bit where I'm going wrong. So it's best for me to do the same as you did: throw it in the bin (partially) and start over 😭😅. I was already contemplating for switching from Godot to Unreal Engine. So I'm going to check your other videos, hopefully find some useful pointers regarding workflow and managing the project. Btw, your project looks cool! Cheers.

[@jbluepolarbear]

It'd be fun if you modeled the movement after snowboarding games like SSX. That would allow for a lot of cool things like air tricks and grinding. Great work so far.

[@eazyvfx7360]

Already intrigued to play the game! loving the artstyle you are going with! as for character id like her face to be a bit different!

[@dreamteckstudio]

Stay tuned for the next vlog where we'll reveal the fixed face :D

[@redactedc1928]

Hoverboards are cool. I like snowboarding and stuff so this looks rad so far.

[@dibaterman]

Gut instinct is that while the hover board thing is nice. The ability to get off it, or use it for other things than hover boarding would be neat. For example if it became a Hoverhelicopter or Jet Pack that would be interesting af, maybe a hover bike transformation for a duration? I can imagine if there is underwater stuff she could basically grab the board like dangling from a rope as it goes at tremendous speeds through the air until it lands in the water where it goes a more reasonable speed.

[@BlueJayBerryYT]

I would definitely want to play this

[@niilokolehmainen]

reminds me of just speeding through the planets with the hoverboard without any goals in astroneer

[@youngzira6724]

I'd 100% play this, seems like a great game to play whenever you got free time to burn (like on a long flight)

[@Whimzee]

I've never been a fan of the sonic spin dash move. It's never felt fun to me. But since you're going for a physics based game, how about making your main combat tool some sort of grapple? It would give you another creative way to maneuver around the environment and a momentum based way of fighting enemies. Maybe you could grapple enemies directly and drag them to death. Or grapple them, swing them around, and launch them off a cliff. Or grapple a tree or something, then tie enemies to a tree by circling the tree repeatedly? Just some ideas, but I think you need to reward creativity if you're going to make a game like this. If you did this, you'd need an auto targeting system like in any 3d Zelda game so you wouldn't need to be super precise. The story is great. Too many games go overboard with story elements, in my opinion. I'm not watching a movie or reading a book, I want to play a game. Something simple like this to give context to what you're doing is perfect. That said, the enemies you showed in this video are fantasy / cartoon like, which feel totally out of place in a world where a rouge nanobot AI takes over the planet. Maybe you could fight machines instead? Then if you kill those machines, you can use those parts to make improvements to your main base. So you'd feel like a scavenger in a post apocalyptic world. Your concept art for the protagonist is beautiful, but right now, the 3d model looks completely soulless. Maybe make a protagonist that's not even human? Maybe you yourself could be a robot powered by the beta version of the AI that took over the world? You still want to help humanity and are appalled that the newest AI went completely off the rails. And because you're associated with the world ending AI, everyone hates you to begin with and you need to prove yourself. This game has a ton of promise, I'll follow the dev log! Great work so far guys!

[@dreamteckstudio]

Hey, thanks for the extensive feedback! We really appreciate comments like these

[@Munkyy362]

Nice video and i love the main character But pls make her thicker

[@nikkiofthevalley]

I have a interesting suggestion (might be difficult or infeasible though), with the crew system at 6:16. It would be interesting to see a multiplayer mode based on the players being scattered around the map, with the main character finding people along the way just as the crew system would work. Although, a major problem would be boredom with the "side characters" when they're just sitting around waiting for the "main character" to pick them up. An idea that might offset that would be to just spawn the players near each other, or just make it so that the crew member players spawn inside the main base as crew members. I don't know what would work here (or even if multiplayer is a good idea whatsoever), but it might work, and would make the game a lot more fun and interesting for the more multiplayer inclined.

[@dreamteckstudio]

There is also the big question: what will you be doing as a crew member player?

[@nikkiofthevalley]

@@dreamteckstudio Ah. Yeah, I'd imagine it would work better as a more normal multiplayer setup, wherein the players are all the main character. At this point I'm about 70% sure that multiplayer wouldn't work in this game's theme & mechanics. You could probably shove it in somewhere, but it wouldn't really work too well.

[@LostTerminalVideos]

Wave function collapse might be a good alternative or a way to supplement your terrain generation. It is also a lot easier for artists to work with.

Would be cool with some cloth physics on the player character. If used properly, it would enhance the feeling of movement. And some particle effects from the board. Just throwing it out there. :) Cool project.

Hi! Actually, we do have something like this in mind and we already have one produced video in our backlog. However, it will take time until we can start publishing those since they are animated and it takes us a long time to produce a single one and we need to have several of them.

This game looks great! The hover boarding seems fun and the art you've got so far is very nice. The only thing that stood out to me was the main characters face. It's hitting the uncanny valley for me. Perhaps it will be better in game and animated but if not maybe something could be done to stylise it more.
