Hi all,
Not posted in a while. The Christmas break was good and allowed us all to take a step away from the project and approach it with a fresh perspective in the new year.
As you can see from the image below, the island looks less like an island and more of a square. Although this may seem obvious, when staring it at for hours a day, you don't notice yourself. So after the break we decided to study the structures of islands to create something much mor...
As we are approaching our first large milestone after Christmas we think it is time to update you all on Ether from a narrative point of view. Over the past few weeks you have seen a lot of our level design work for our prototype which may seem a little confusing when placed next to our original entry which discussed what Ether was going to be!

The first thing is that our concept of Ether is very nearly finalized with only visuals to nail before we can start to push on and complete our first prototype! Yep that’s right we are finally moving into dev...
Lots more tutorials going up on learning UDK basics so please check them out!
Also been playing with some terrain texturing in UDK...
Getting some interesting effects with hand painted textures, things are starting to come together!...
