My UDK Game - Phase 1

[spunkflunk]

how do u get ur shadows light color? my shadows re pitch black from trees

[veeableful]

@spunkflunk Perhaps you haven't built the lighting?

[rayjones321]

@spunkflunk You probably need to add a skylight. Actor classes>Lights>Skylight

[Schoening91]

Am i right to say it is easier to make a game with UDK? Even go so far to call it a very very good sort of "Game Maker" ? It seems like a All Build in Language + Libraries ?

Nice Work, Not dissin but because i am deciding what language to learn next after AutoIt :) and since i want to make a game

[veeableful]

@Schoening91 IMO UE3 is easy for artists who are new to UE3 to start creating works, but not so for programmers. The number of classes, functions, variables they need to know to make a proper game are massive. I think Unity is easier to get started on making game than UE3.

[Schoening91]

@veeableful Im working in AutoIt atm. :) Might aswell start with the real deal :) thx

[ozal91]

nice, I did pretty much the same amount of work on Source Engine(half life 2 engine), but their tutorials and everything is so unorganised and they are getting kind of outdated, udk seems more open and feels like their is more of a fanbase than source engine, hopefully ill catch up to what you know and more : )

[15935715935788224466]

How much time did it took you?

[veeableful]

@15935715935788224466 The creation of the map itself didn't took long. It's the menu that gave me headache haha. Probably about 1 week just for the menu (setting up UnrealScript project and all that). I'm quite familiar with it now though.

[jaykombatpsn]

Wow reminds me of crysis 2 graphics :O

[Samualninja]

i usually bring alien weaponry to school too

[ivandonat]

Where did you find the tutorials?

[veeableful]

@ivandonat For the basic tutorials, look for "udn video tutorials" on Google. For the menu tutorials, look for AwesomeAllar on Youtube.

[ivandonat]

@veeableful Thanks, and can you tell me: UDK is for Unreal Development kit, whats UDN?

[veeableful]

@ivandonat Unreal Developer Network.

[ivandonat]

@veeableful Oh, right, thanks, I'm a noob

[itriedisuck]

you're pretty talented, I would keep going with this if I were you.

[veeableful]

@itriedisuck Haha thanks! I'm not going to continue this one as I'm currently learning other tools such as Unity and also putting together my own 2D game framework. It's fun to just try out everything!

[neilorourke71]

I've never wanted to learn how to use something so bad in my entire life. UDK, here I come

[johanderkselult123]

download link?

[madinsomaniac]

0:44 not properly added or subtracted

[tronikcreations]

If you upgrade to "pro" do you still need to pay the 25% royalty if your game makes over $50,000?

[IDevelopGameInFuture]

Day 3 13 PM in Youtubeland. Still no original comment. I dont know if i'm gonna make it... If i don't, tell me an original top comment. Camping in Comment Forest.

[ichimaxru]

wow persona thats my fav game! i will be following your project

[xXxmidgexXx]

Hey , what's the music that plays when you start playing the game? When you get into the level . Not the main menu I really like it.

[veeableful]

@xXxmidgexXx It's "New Days" from Persona 4 Soundtracks :p

[xXxmidgexXx]

@veeableful lol k

[Speedpogo]

Haha. Many people don't realise that you are a female. :D

[dragonoidgaming]

Hey its a really really nice vid!

But how did you make the start screen with the settings and play game button?

please answer me or link me to some tutorials.

Anyway thanks and keep up with your work!

[Videogamer1999]

Great Soundtrack :)

[rpglover24]

That box looks kind of weird around the level. Try putting fences and grass there instead.

[flyermanable]

i like how when it was loading the school it said school with some guy screaming behind it

[SweaterSwagg]

What are the limitations to the Unreal development kit? Could Unity achieve these graphics?

[veeableful]

@SweaterSwagg I never used Unity before but from what I've seen, the graphics of Unity isn't too far behind UE3. There is no limitations to UDK but there could definitely be improvements (Radiosity in UE3 please!).

[OverlordYesh]

@SweaterSwagg the graphics in UDK are better, but if you're selling your game, you'll need to pay some liscensing fees.

[OverlordYesh]

@SweaterSwagg UDK, if you have the knowledge, you have the game. UDK does cost money for commercial publishing but otherwise its free and you get all the features.

[SweaterSwagg]

@OverlordYesh Good info! Thx. I think I might test it out in the future!

[OverlordYesh]

@SweaterSwagg on the other hand, Unity games that aren't made with pro look like shit.

[SweaterSwagg]

@OverlordYesh lol really? How much is pro?

[OverlordYesh]

@SweaterSwagg $1200.

[SweaterSwagg]

@OverlordYesh Oh wow! Thats pretty cheap.....licencing?

[OverlordYesh]

@SweaterSwagg its not cheap for a game engine. You also have to pay an extra $1200 for smartphone development.

[SweaterSwagg]

@OverlordYesh Well I don' think it's that expensive....it's within price range is what I meant. Do you know how much for a 360 title?

[OverlordYesh]

@SweaterSwagg Idk. Maybe you need to own pro, but I'm sure that you need to do some contacting with companies like Microsoft or whatever. If you want to make games for the indie market, you simply need to learn XNA. Plus, XNA is the only engine that works with XBLIGs.

[PwnageAtEverything]

wow this is awesome, is this program hard to use?

[MichaelG1919]

dude thats awesome!!!!.. ur a legend!!... did u make that urself or with other people?...

[veeableful]

@MichaelG1919 Thanks, I made it myself but it's that much of work really haha.

[MichaelG1919]

@veeableful Im planning to learn dis software in the future coz i wanna make ma own simple game... probably FPS aswell but not as complicated as urs... haha...

can I ask ur comp specs?... and BTW are there any free tuts on the web that teaches the basics on this software?

[tsunami30003000]

Really nice graphics :) How did you do the trees to ge that realistic look? I'm assuming you used some normal maps on your work.

[veeableful]

@tsunami30003000 I used SpeedTree to "model" the trees (the modelling is by entering a lot of numbers :P). The program, the textures and the normal maps are already included in UDK. raven67854 has a good tutorial on SpeedTree which I followed!

[SuperFunnyman001]

You sir, have a beast PC. *Salutes*

[Krakazu]

Does UDK come with 3D modeling capabilities or do you need a separate program?

[veeableful]

@Krakazu You can model in UDK (called brushes) to some extent. You definitely won't want to create detailed models using UDK.

[goonsmile]

@Krakazu

you can do basic modelling in UDK but only simple block shapes like walls and floors, if you want to model more complex shapes (like the gun) you need an external 3D program such as 3D Max or Blender (Blender is free) - check out 3D buzz for UDK tutorials and Blender tutorials on youtube.

[CharlieTeague]

My computers too slow to properly run the Unreal 3 engine but is there a UDK which uses the Unreal 2 engine?

[veeableful]

@CharlieTeague As far as I know, no. But I see you can download Unreal Engine 2 on Mod DB (don't know if it's the real thing or not).

[sanjaysinghbhambhu]

Nice thing man! These graphics could kill! Do u work in any pro game company? I am downloading this thing called udk. Do I need any programming or what? Help me. Please.

[spaztikcamel]

@sanjaysinghbhambhu almost all the coding should be handled for you.

anything thats like programing is basically symbol and pathway based (youll understand what i mean when you get into kismet) stat by watching tutorials i recommend the new boston for udk tutorials for a beginner as you get better it may be worth investing in eat3d's vids... 3d buzz is also good but a little incomplete imo... once you get to this stage i recommend starting to make your own basic game and google any questions.

[Robloxblacky]

I Make My Own Portal Game Ima Realease It IN 2012 B-cause Of Developing Bugs And Glitches Trailer Coming soon

[spaztikcamel]

anyone know why when i ad a speedtree and Dont use precomputed lighting why the shadowed side of my tree goes dead black as though its set to unlit??

[BraeDoktor]

Can your friend play it?

[50thtolife]

@veeableful

hello my friend you teach me create game?

[uruguayitorip]

this is really the persona genre :P

[7777Insanity]

new this seemed like shin megami tensei! nicely done!

[MrDuskling]

I like your menu :D

[BrooklynNYC777]

hahahahaha i see what he did............ ahahahahahaha nice

[10chadjordan01]

Now that's my kind of school!  Great work man!

[MessiahToNoFaithBand]

It's not really a game, more of a map

[goonsmile]

what is your hardware spec?

[veeableful]

@goonsmile i7-930 and GTX 480

[Genuigr]

@veeableful

i've got a amd phenom 2 X4 955 and a GTX460, would that "game" also run sooooo smooothly? i'm very impressed by these 800fps O.O ;D

[veeableful]

@Genuigr Sure! I think you can get at least 60fps 8)

[Genuigr]

@veeableful

and what did you get? :P

[veeableful]

@Genuigr 120+ :)

[KILLERxWAFFLZ]

hi

is the udk 3 for free

cuz i saw that downloading is free and then something about 99$ came up

also im 15

i wanna start making games

is the udk engine easy to use

and what kinda games can you make

[veeableful]

@KILLERxWAFFLZ Yes, it is free for non-commercial use. You only have to pay if you're making a commercial product. You can learn how to do stuff using UDK from the official video tutorials. Just Google "udn video tutorials" . Although it can create any kind of games, I must admit it's not an engine that should be used by beginning game developers. If you're just starting to create games, I'd recommend using Processing or SFML (C++). You can create games like Angry Birds with those two :)

[WhisperintheMist]

Could anyone suggest a laptop that can run UDK with ease, please.

[RayDan415]

wait i have a question...if i make a skateboarding game with udk do you think it'll work?...like is it prossible to assign controls for kickflips and heelflips??

[veeableful]

@RayDan415 Of course. Everything's possible with UDK :)

[RayDan415]

@veeableful thank you for inspiring me....lol

[veeableful]

@RayDan415 Haha no problem! Glad it was inspiring.

[MrDevilcloud]

@halcom23 : It's the Unreal Kit development and so is free :)

[halcom23]

wat is this game or proram and how much does it cost

[DeadlyRaven1]

nice

aber wie man auf die idee kommt persona 5 mit udk zu machen :)

[TheSchmitzrunner]

i wish i had a pc so i could use the UDK, all i have is a mac so all i can use is the cruddy unity3d

[pdateh35]

dude this is amazing

did u have to code too?

[sdxxlukexx]

/watch?v=mgigJhcyJAU

[TheDelusive]

"This project is based on my school."

I wish I could walk through my school with a Link Gun.

===

Anyways looks cool!

[birthnight]

@TheDelusive Download UDK and you can ;D

[vaibhav402]

this is awesome!! u should make some for iOS and PS vita or maybe port this ;)

[veeableful]

@vaibhav402 Haha this is really nothing. It has no gameplay yet. After I created some kind of gameplay, then I'll think of it. And Thanks! Glad you like it :D

[vaibhav402]

@veeableful well m sure ur working on it..and eventually finish it :D all the best for this and hopefully we will se one of ur games on PC or iPhone or android :)

[veeableful]

@vaibhav402 Haha thanks. These little pushes from you guys are all I need :D

[Genuigr]

@veeableful

pleas upload it even if it hasn't a gameplay yet :D

[veeableful]

@Genuigr Awww thanks! Haha. I guess I need to step it up!

[hajlan91]

how long did this take u ?

[veeableful]

@hajlan91 Less than a month. Before that, I took time learning UDK first.

[rOckRIVeRo]

How did you did the main menu? don't you have any tutorial?. Thanks

[veeableful]

@rOckRIVeRo Check out Michael Allar's Scaleform tutorials. Go to forecourse (dot) com =)

[rOckRIVeRo]

@veeableful Thanks bro' :D

[crystalclear506]

Do I need to know any programming languages to use UDK ?? plz reply

[veeableful]

@crystalclear506 Not at all!

[KalarotLP]

the music makes it perfect xD

[veeableful]

@KalarotLP Bwahahaha thanks! :D

[superherox7]

you suck this isnt what a persona game is all about look at persona 4!

[Lonehangman]

yeah because you carry a gun around at school, jokes aside, it's a very nice game world

[SovietSnowfall]

Oh wow, it's beautiful!

[DRGIZMO29]

persona 5? L O L

[weidro9]

Can you please upload that white material which you have on the walls? please... thanks

[veeableful]

@weidro9 I added it to the bottom of my description. It's really simple material really, so don't expect too much haha.

[weidro9]

@veeableful OK thank you

[weidro9]

Really thanks i cant work with material editor i think its so hard :(

[dake222]

@veeableful Hey can i please help me with creating a menu. Also I have no leave materials or bark materials for speed tree. Whats wrong

[veeableful]

@dake222 Look up Michael Allar. I used his tutorial to create this menu. As for the problem hmm, I'm not sure. It should have the materials. Maybe reinstalling UDK will help?

[dake222]

@veeableful Thanks... :)

[BobLam0127]

HOW U CHANGE THE MAIN MENU?? PLS ANSWER OMG I LOOKED FOR THAT DURING MONTHS HOW U DO IT??

[MrLGDef]

How did u make the buildings?

[veeableful]

@MrLGDef It's all brushes/BSP :D

[MrLGDef]

@veeableful Oh :). Well I'm new to udk. And I was gonna make a fps, and I was working on like a broken down city map. And I was wonder how you make buildings. Can you help?

[veeableful]

@MrLGDef You can just model in 3DSMax and export it as .ASE or .FBX file. Then in UDK, you import the mesh. There are a lot of good tutorials on how to do that :D

[MrLGDef]

@veeableful holy shiz u respond quick... I like it :), oh am I getting off topic? And ok, sounds good. I'll try it.

[Jape77theoriganal]

I am going to start a game my self too. How did u get the graphics and textures? Thank you

[veeableful]

@Jape77theoriganal Most of the textures I got from the UDK itself. I made some simple ones myself.

[123polala]

now  save yourself and make millions money

[redbook5544332211]

Could you tell me where you learned udk from

[veeableful]

@redbook5544332211 At the time, I only looked at the video tutorials on UDN and also the ones made by Michael Allar at Forecourse(dot)com :)

[the3bananacrew]

reminds me of mirrors edge

[DJAM3R]

@the3bananacrew

except of the color tone how does it remind you of Mirror's edge ??

Just asking

[the3bananacrew]

@DJAM3R Some of the walls have similar textures which they use in a mirrors edge level, Your game looks good.

[XzcutioneR2]

looks smexy. especially the gun

[SlingerMarshall]

the graphics look soo real!

[WayneDavisRocks]

great but one thing at 1:28 there is artifacts from the brush on the corner of the building other than that very cool

[dimebagplan]

The graphics are just unreal :D

Seriously the lighting is just superb ! same for those trees, really wonderful.

Are all those lights baked or is it real time ?

[veeableful]

@dimebagplan It's all baked :)

[dimebagplan]

@veeableful Thank you for your very fast answer !

Last question : Is it baked inside the UDK with UDK lights ? Or is it baked on an external 3D application ?

Also, i am also doing a game project but i use Unity3d. This is a very cool engine, but the lighting and shaders are not as good as UE....

Thank you again for your help.

Regards.

[veeableful]

@dimebagplan Yep, it's all baked inside the UDK with UDK lights! (I get notification from Google Talk so I can respond so fast hahah!)

[IsaraiLee]

@dimebagplan Baked, but still beautiful :)

[alex054739]

Nice, really nice job ;o

[PhenomOFeverything]

The Lighting is amazing and can you make a tut on how to make interactive tree's

[veeableful]

@PhenomOFeverything Check out raven67854. I learned to make it from his tutorials! Search for "udk speedtree" on Youtube :D

[jdolleyart01]

damn cool MOD dude.....keep it up!!!

[Residentevilfan500]

Im sry to tell u but it true

[Residentevilfan500]

Udk virus corrupted

[SlipAllCityToy]

Amazing!

Sub

[capatais777]

nice create the school ... to DESTROY SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[ShayTheMon]

Persona 5? when they actually release a persona 5 officially this game's name is phawked

[vioz87]

Mastah...!!! Nice Info, gan!

Junker mode= on :p

[Tapedoniphone]

I am subscribing because that looked AWESOME!

[veeableful]

@Tapedoniphone Haha thanks a lot! Glad you liked it.

[Tapedoniphone]

@veeableful it looks professional good work!

[WillDC96]

Are you going to add a custom player and weapons? If so can you make a tutorial

[veeableful]

@WillDC96 Yeah, I'm actually planning to do that. But I'm not a good modeler soo I'm going to just explain how to insert your own character and weapon (the UnrealScript stuff) but I wouldn't be able to tell you how to rig the models xD

[WillDC96]

@veeableful Thanks, and also I don't need to see rigging, 3d modelling is what I do

[veeableful]

I'll PM you some links.

[ThroatSpliter]

@veeableful can you make different weapons or are you stuck with pre sets on guns for example could i make a gun that shot cds that just and example

[veeableful]

@ThroatSpliter Absolutely! You can do pretty much anything a person can imagine on UDK. For example if you want to make a gun that shoots CDs, then you can just modify the UnrealScript files for the Rocket Launcher and the projectile it uses to use Skeletal/Static Meshes of your own instead.

[ThroatSpliter]

@veeableful Another question. Can you make AI? also what computer do you run this application with and.. what would you recomend

[veeableful]

@ThroatSpliter Yep, you can also create your own AI. As for the computer, I use Intel i7-930 and a GTX 480. For now, I'd recommend buying an Intel Sandy Bridge processor and at least a graphics card as powerful as GTX 560Ti, just so it can last for a while before it becomes obsolete. Or if you can wait, just wait until Nvidia's Kepler iteration comes out. It's supposed to have 3x performance/watt of the previous graphics card.

[ThroatSpliter]

@veeableful Thanks im sorry for the questions im looking into this

[DennisH2010]

looks good

[79902625]

Is there a way to change the hud and get new weapons?? like download them ans stuff?

[NeoKailthas]

Kill teacher game?

[stele999]

Does anyone know how to work with UDK,I am making Halo Remake,I already do some of 3d models.

[hangman057]

Awesome lighting. Cool blowing tree detail

[HyperHeritic]

Is there a way to reduce the characters run speed?

[veeableful]

@HyperHeritic Definitely. You can edit the original speed in the .uc file (Pawn.uc) and re-compile it.

[HyperHeritic]

@veeableful Thanks for the reply! :) I'll give it a shot.

[HyperHeritic]

@veeableful Wow, that Pawn.Uc has a lot of stuff in it. I couldn't find where to change the values. Any idea or should I just keep looking? (I have never edited this before sorry) :-)
