October Summery (Pitch+ConceptArt)

Due to the pitch on the 8th I'm having to have a finished grey-box by the end of this Thursday. 

Basically I'm trying to integrate an object-pool for all my objects,
this is something that I am sinking many hours into without many visible results.

In short though, jumping, side movement, shooting, damage can all be added on the fly,
as and when I need them.

Basically I can easily create something that works, but it will likely have poor performance unless I manage to program the objects to work within an object-pool.



I'm currently in the process of creating some (unoptimised) buildings to litter the background...

Something that I'm currently trying to balance with the programming is the creation of low-poly assets for later use, I will likely see if I can animate these before my pitch. (not looking likely)

Outside of this I'm also working on some "tileable-textures" to be used on my buildings, I'll likely keep them in this format.

Here is a mock-up of what the game might vaguely look like...

I'm not working with the above as it's a bloody mess, however once I have a grasped most aspects involved in the programming of my game, I shall seek to have all aspects present in each unity build.

...

I'm getting the stuff ready for this Friday, the pitch is apparently informal
but I'll try to have as much to show off as possible.

The programming is going well, made a breakthrough with the object pooling, I'll work more on this soon.

I'm thinking for the enemy tanks I go a little retro, sort of a WWI era style ...

Made mock poster to rally the feminist extremists to my cause...

Made a trooper concept...

Low-poly 3D model...

Platform Design 1...

Here's a few of concepts...
The rocket shark is defiantly in but I'd like to work on a few more concepts before I decide^^

I plan to work up each of those images...

I'm thinking a giant carebear that shoots lazers from its tummy might be cool.
