Racing Level HUD

For my racing level, I want my heads up display to have vintage and classy look but still fit the theme which is amusement park.

Below are pictures of my references:

For compositions, I looked at the video games HUD and got some ideas from these references below.

I created my HUD, using Photoshop. Below is a picture of my HUD with picture I found for the background from the internet.

Final Explosive Barrel

For programming class, we finished the explosive barrel project. My barrel is a wood barrel and it has colorful color.

Below are the videos of explosive barrel that I made. This one has no sound because I accidentally turned it off but I like it better.



This one has sound.


Below is a blueprint of the barrel that I made in UE4

Explosive Barrel!

We are making explosive barrel for our racing games. For my level, the theme is amusement park but the car concept is medieval so what I think will fit in my level is a basic wine or wood barrel.

Below is a reference picture.

Here is my barrel. I imagine this barrel fills with oil or fuel.

Racing Level Intro

For Game Design class, we have to find an example of race intro sequence. I chose two levels from Mario Kart8, Wario Stadium and Twisted Mansion.

What I like about Wario Stadium level intro is that the first thing they show is Wario statue. Wario statue is the major landmark and the camera dolly out from it. The camera dolly out shows how big the statue is. Then, the camera dolly in to show off the main tracks. The last thing we will see before the race start is the entrance of the level which show big picture of the level and the cars.

Below is a video of Mario Kart8 - Wario Stadium.





Twisted Mansion shows the same things as Wario Stadium; major landmark, tracks, and entrance. Both intros are really simple and really short about 10 seconds but it makes the players know what is the theme of the level and what they will see in the level.
