Quests/In-Game Script

Aaran Griffiths & Kyle Jenkins
[27/03/15]

Here is the final game script (Aside from the 2D dialogue which will be uploaded separate) - we discussed many possible voice actors and script ideas before settling on these, subtleties are prone to change:

Adam Pugsley as Flynn
Richard Langridge as Gauss
Year 2 Game Design as Crowd
? as Butch
? as Scotland
Royston Griffiths as Grimm

CVS - First Quest Script

Merchant: ‘’Lookin’ to get in city are ya? I can help with that lad’’

Flynn: ‘’…’’

Merchant: ‘’I dunny want anything in return, just a little help for a friend in need *cough*’’

Flynn: ‘’How I do I know I can trust you?’’

Merchant: ‘’Trust doesn’t exist within these walls anymore lad, we have friend in common’’

(Monologue) Flynn: ‘’Hmm looks like I have no other choice’’

Merchant: ‘’The Rift-walkers Retreat… that’s where ya’ll be headin’ next’’

CVS – Barman Script

Flynn: ‘’Can you help me? I’m looking for some Grimm guy…?’’

Butch: ‘’Guy? Ha ha ha… yeah sure, he’s out back’, head on through’’

CVS – Gauss Script

Gauss: ‘’I am suppose to be apposed by you boy…’’

Gauss: ‘’The fate of Voidstone is now inevitable, Flynn, an attempt to stop me has little point… me and my walkers will bring the cataclysm, Voidstone will be reborn’’

Gauss: ‘’I will crush you…’’

Flynn: ‘’I accept your challenge, great monolith, face my arts’’

 

CVS – In-Game Voiceovers

Near water (Flynn - Monologue): ‘’I don’t think that’s a good idea!’’

‘’Not right now’’

‘’I need to focus on my tasks’’

Flynn (Fight): ‘’Grunt’’ x5

Idle – ‘’I’d better get moving’’

Away from Merchant – ‘’I think I need to speak to him’’

Gauss (Fight): ‘’Die… boy!’’

‘’Grunt’’ x5

‘’Feel my power’’

‘’This is the end’’

Deviant (Fight): ‘’Grunt’’ x5

Butch: ‘’Whistling’’ x3

Crowd Noise

Grimm: ‘’Ahh Voidstone, the industrial gem’’

‘’Hectors Miracle Cure, he’s still trying to sell that?’’

‘’Noah’s Imports, the finest boats in all of Voidstone’’

‘’Ooh my spine!’’

[Update] Kyle's Posters

Trailer - Flynn Intro Animation & Element Transition Slide Animations

Aaran Griffiths

[25/03/15]

Here is the current progress for the Thursday targets, 4 of the 6 posters have been completed for the poster shot in the trailer and are on the drive ready for engine implementation. Using the same method for TCoV title shot, I created a blue cobblestone Flynn text with white glows to compliment the title text and logo, the animation is finished as you can see, however, the smoke color needs to be changed in order to achieve a magic effect and also the background on the smoke isn't transparent and needs to be faster, this will be sorted and uploaded later on, the same process was also used for the element slide:

*I couldn't upload a video due to some export difficulties*

[Animation] Tuesday update Gauss Animations

Well that's four of 5ish Gauss Animations done, from left to right you have Idle, Charge, Walk and Attack. Just having trouble with his Death still due to Parent Joints Keep Moving their Child Joints need a solution to that should be done by Tomorrow.
