Darkflame

Darkflame: Rise of Keanu is a game that is made within the semester GAME at the HAN University of Applied Sciences in Arnhem. This was in the period of September 2010 – Februari 2011.

Before the project started we had 8 weeks to learn the basics of 3Ds Max (in my case also Maya) and UDK (Unreal Development Kit).

In those courses I learned how to make simple objects, varying from boxes to palmtrees to a complicated (low-poly) car. After that we joined together for a big project, in a team of 45-people. We created a game, named Darkflame.

To get as big of a challenge as possible I chose to join the character-team and take on the roll of Integration Lead.

I ended up being responsible for the following 2 characters, the EndBoss and the Preacher.

Evil Laugh

Scared Run

Since we were the character-team and wanted to do everything good, I contacted the Deltion College in Zwolle and arranged a Motion Capture day. I even dressed up in the suit and did all the motions.
A short impression below:

After we finished Motion Capturing, we started processing all the animations. That week we received the Best Team of the Week award and on top of that I also gained a MVP award, for putting all that extra effort in.
