Game Features

Ready Player Me Avatars

Within the development process, significant contributions to creating a set of in-game functionalities were made. These functionalities include the ability to switch characters, implement a loading screen, design the game UI, and optimize game performance through sectoring.

In certain parts of the game, players have the opportunity to enter buildings on the moon. When this occurs, the character avatar switches from wearing a spacesuit to a custom character created by the player. It was essential to ensure that this character swap is not only visible on the player’s local device but also synchronized across the network, allowing other players to see the change

Loading System & UI

We developed a loading screen that managed the flow of scene transitions within the game. This loading screen incorporated several features, such as changing the background image to provide visual variety, displaying helpful tips for the player’s guidance, managing the game’s state and different phases, and ensuring that the loading process only stops once the level has fully loaded, guaranteeing a smooth and uninterrupted gaming experience.

Loading screen

Game HUD & Mini-Map

The game’s UI played a crucial role in facilitating player interaction. One of the key features we implemented was the creation of a map UI, which visually represented the overall 3D map and displayed it in the game’s menu. This allowed players to have a better understanding of their surroundings and navigate the game world more effectively.

Another aspect of our work on the game UI involved designing and implementing the settings UI, which allowed players to customize various game options according to their preferences, such as adjusting graphics settings, audio preferences, or input controls.

Additionally, we developed and integrated an inventory system into the UI. This inventory system enabled players to modify their avatar’s appearance or state by selecting different items or equipment. For example, players could equip a jetpack to enable flying or ride a car to drive on the moon’s surface, providing diverse gameplay experiences and enhancing player immersion.

Game Optimization

During the game’s development, we encountered a performance issue where certain scenes became too large, negatively impacting device performance and ultimately affecting the player’s experience. To address this problem, we implemented a technique widely used in the gaming industry called “sectoring.”

Sectoring involves dividing the expansive game world into smaller chunks, or sectors, which can be loaded based on the player’s location and the direction they are looking. By dynamically loading and unloading sectors as needed, we reduced the strain on system resources, resulting in significant performance improvements. As a result of implementing sectoring, the game’s performance saw a substantial increase of 300% (measured in terms of frame rate and memory usage). This optimization ensured smoother gameplay and enhanced the overall gaming experience for players.

Development Summary

In summary, a pivotal role in creating various in-game functionalities was played, such as character switching, a loading screen with multiple features, a comprehensive game UI encompassing map representation, settings customization, and an inventory system. Furthermore, we successfully improved game performance through the implementation of sectoring, resulting in a remarkable 300% boost in performance metrics.
