I've gotten a fair amount of things done for the first scene of the game so far, but there's still a long way to go before it'll be done. While the garage is almost done, there's still a bit of it left to do. That, and the broken piece of hull you jump through. That'll be the hard part of this scene. After that, it might not be smooth sailing, but it'll get easier from there.

This week, I got started on getting the first scene of our game ready. I decided to start by modeling a few of the smaller things in this scene, like these objects you see, and work up to the bigger things. I didn't spend too much time on these, as you will be looking at them from fairly far away. That being said, I should definitely go back to improve the cylinder thing, because- Look at that thing. Even far away, people will be able to tell I didn't put much work into it. I didn't get as much done as I was hoping to, but I'm sure this upcoming week will be a good week.
Over the span of this, I continued to work on a background prototype to get down how to make a background for a game before starting the whiteboxing. It may seem easy to assemble all your assets in a scene to create a background, and it is, but you have to know a few tricks before you can really get it down, which this prototype helped me understand. A primary challenge when assembling a background is perspective. It's always something you have to keep in my mind when creating a scene. I employed a few fairly basic tricks, like scaling objects to make them seem further away and add depth to the scene. Another little trick I did was that on the stairs and top platform, where it starts to jut out, I pushed those segments down so it would look more naturalistic in the scene. Before, you weren't able to see the top of the platform, so doing this helps make the scene feel better. On top of a lot of perspective stuff, I tried adding lighting to the scene to make it more atmospheric. While it's a good start, I can definitely do more. to make it look better, like clearing out all those shadows in the back. Overall, I'd say I've done a good amount of stuff this week, although I do wish I was able to get more done.
