On the Apple Watch app your character walks with you. Even on such a small screen being able to deliver this character with all your character selections means a consistent experience across devices. This was a first for me during development working on such a tiny screen while also trying to deliver this much detail. Definitely a fun challenge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622f8e8ae66ae42644996ded/bd5c125f-c790-440c-8420-a27caa15b0f4/Battle_Video.gif Work - Tracks (2016-2017) - Battle it out! Battle to find out who’s been keeping up with their workouts Instead of comparing calorie or step counts lets go out onto the main stage and battle it out. Use the badges, armor and characters you have collected in order to deliver a dynamic display of your power! Your strength will help you end up on top in the end. The technical and design challenge of the battle arena in Tracks is creating a fun and dynamic experience. None of the menus and social features matter unless the game it self is fun to play. Setting the stage for some high impact sequences was critical to the success of such a gaming experience from the get go. High impact visuals starts with the camera. Creating a dynamic camera requires an understanding of how to use 3D transforms and empty nodes in scene graph to your advantage. Thinking about the camera as a two separate pieces where one is moving back and forth between two players on a center track and the other is on a long rod that is rotating around that point would be a framework for understanding a dynamic camera. It just becomes a matter of better understanding the feeling that is generated by movement along that track and what role rotation plays in that equation as well. Attacks should feel like attacks and making that apparent in video games is also a matter of perspective. Using a shaking transform animation on an empty node that is actually holding the camera is a quick trick. Timing this quick shake to happen as the fox exhibits the motions of being struck by an attack move gives moves more weight and power. Without these subtle additions the attacks could end up feeling like a light poke rather than a fierce attack from an opponent. This is both a design and technical problem as understanding how that weight and force is represented on screen is more of an art and understanding how that translates to a sequence triggered set of transforms is all code. Speed it up with motion blur. Even the camera movements themselves can be thought of as feeling faster or more realistic if we add a bit of motion blur at the correct moment then camera movements can feel more realistic as well as more impactful. A slide along the invisible transform rail that defines how the camera moves can feel robotic without the proper easing function between points and blur during movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622f8e8ae66ae42644996ded/c466dab3-75a0-4847-8d8b-b953aa1937df/Badges_OOOO.gif Work - Tracks (2016-2017) - Collect Badges!
