Gameplay Metrics for Grim (Screenshots)

As shown a while ago, we have our proprietary metrics tool to review our playtests and look for unintended behavior and opportunities to improve the game. One example of where the metrics directly help us is to look for Leap events to see if players are having difficulty making certain jumps as a result of platforms being too distant from one another. 

I'm in the process of creating a short video, for now I've included some screenshots to give you an idea of what it currently looks like.

"Climb" the level used with the metric shots below.

Red indicates low Energy resource for player.

Second trailer of "Grim"

We've just finished the second trailer of our game. It features our second level "Climb" which was created for our Breach gametype. The "Mateba" our multi-purpose weapon (with both short and long range capabilities) and Leap our primary ability are all included in this new video.



As always, the most recent updates on our development are available at our website: http://grim.morepolygons.com

Titan Metrics: Gameplay Analysis Tool

Hey guys, I have been working on a gameplay analysis tool for our online shooter “Grim”. For the first internal release I made a short video, It should give you an idea of what we can do with it so far. I have a bunch more things I’d like to add (including cloud/heat maps) but first I must take some time off to work on gameplay and server browser!

It even includes my voice this time! :P Let me know what you guys think, maybe you have a cool feature request?

Project site is online!

The project site is up! Currently you will find several screenshots and videos of our game, 3D assets, information about our game design and of course the two proprietary tools I've been working on! Have a look at let me know what you guys think.

Graduation UDK Project

Hey guys, It's been a while since I uploaded any videos or blogposts. I've definitely been doing some cool stuff behind closed doors, this time with the Unreal Development Kit. We're about to reach a milestone where we will start showing our development more openly. This means I will soon start recording some videos that will include my development experiments as usual.

This project is for my graduation, I'm working in a team of six to build a proper first person shooter for the PC. As expected I'm the programmer, but do a lot of the design work as well. Aside from the game itself I have been busy building some UDK based tools for the team, this includes a launcher/management tool to launch UDK in every way you can think of and includes more advanced functionality such as bug reporting (automatically sends the reports to our server at Assembla) along with FTP file uploads (screenshots, crash logs) and more. A second tool will remain secret for now. I will reveal details on it later on through some videos and post some info about it here as well.

For now I'll leave you with two (pre-alpha) screenshots of our project.
