In Forgotten Memories, you play as Nonamè, an adventurer who found themselves waking up from a nightmare and losing their memories in a castle dungeon. As you try to escape the dungeon and figure out how you got here, you must fight the hordes of monsters who stand in your way, solve mysterious puzzles, and unravel the mystery of what happened. As a player, you must utilize the abilities of your magic, your wits, and your weaponry to kill everything that stands in your way as you attempt to both figure out what happened and escape the dungeon you now find yourself stuck in.

Creating the door system in "Forgotten Memories"

 Author: Jared Barker Date: 2/20/2023  6:25 PM EST Xodius Studios Blog #2: Creating the door system in "Forgotten Memories". The Problem: For this week, I was working on the door rotation and the button to the door for the player to interact with. The door wasn't rotating when the player interacts with the button. So it's supposed to do that if the player goes to the door button (the button being an actor to the door), the camera shows the door being opened at  90 degrees from the z-axis. When testing the door, the camera shows the door, however, the door didn't rotate at 90 degrees from the z-axis. This can be a problem because if the player is stuck on a puzzle, then they won't be able to get out of that room if the door was locked. The Solution: After running a few tests on the door while debugging it, I figured out that to rotate the door, I had to set the relative rotation to the value of the yaw(which is the z-axis) from the door's position. After th...

Puzzle Level Design and Inventory UI

Xodius Studios Blog #1  Puzzle Level Design and Inventory UI Author: Kanitha Charoenpanich Published: 02/16/2023 17:21 The Problem:       This week I have been trying to implement my inventory system and design puzzles that the player can interact with in our game. The problem I have encountered when level designing is how to lay assets out in a way where the level doesn't feel stuffy, overwhelming, or underbalanced. I have been taking inspiration from other games to design puzzles. As for the Inventory, I have been laying out the UI to make it look like a basic inventory bag. I don't have problems with it currently besides getting the button that opens the inventory to be a click, not a hold. Problem Solution:     The solution I have come up with for the level designing is to brainstorm more and study other games. I am taking inspiration from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I am looking to set up ideas for "golf" puzzles, st...

Level Streaming in "Forgotten Memories"

 Name: Jared Barker Date: 4/18/2023 Time: 12:33 AM Est Level Streaming in "Forgotten Memories" The Problem: So we've been doing a lot of redesigning and reoptimizing levels to save memory space and time in our project. At first, we were trying to get world composition to work in our game. So the idea was that one level will load and the next level loads when the player goes to a certain location. We wanted to apply that to the landscape we have created and load the levels we created from the world level. However, when we tried to test it, it kept crashing, so we tried testing it at the landscape level. We tried adding an existing level in the level window and testing it that way, but it didn't appear when we run it and head to that location.  The Solution: So after a lot of research and a lot of testing, we figured out a way to level stream the levels. So we first had to use the landscape level. At that level, we added a test level under the landscape persistence leve...
