Introduction

• Motivation:– Interested in Game Developing– Response to the Government’s Effort in promoting

Creative Industry in HK

• Objectives:– Develop a 3D adventure Game with multi-

gaming styles. Such as a wide range of minigames and control systems.

– Beautiful Graphics and Exciting Sound Effects are also emphasized.

Introduction

• Game Story– In the night of CS OCamp, three CS freshmen, Amy, Ronald an

d Ron received an invitation card to LG2 from Mr. Renroh.

– They were burnt with curiosity and opened the door to LG2. Ho

wever, they were transferred to the University of Soul and Terror after that.

– They tried to find a way back to the real world, and the mysterious and scary story began!

Implementation

• Sound and Music – Background Music

Different background music for each stage, scene, and minigame.

– Sound EffectsDifferent sound effects for different characters in different actions.

Testing and Evaluation

• Trial runs of the game were performed

on different PCs and Laptops.

• Demo Game Trial (Early April)– About 10 testers involved

– All the testers give positive comments

Challenges

• Problem:– Errors in Collision Detection between the characters and the scenes

• Solution:

–ConvexHull

Challenges

• Problem:– Some model of the scenes are

too complex to export.

• Solution:– Divide each stage into different

zones, and implement separate scene models for each of them.

Conclusion

• Achievement:– Designed an EXCITING multi-game styles 3

D adventure game.

– Can be used as an Technical Demo for CS Department or UST to raise the students’ interest about UST.

• Future Extension– Skill Learning System– Cleverer Enemy AI– Player Changing System
