Unreal Final Assignment - Last Man Standing

This final assignment for our games scripting module was certainly extremely gruelling in terms of the amount work that was required for it. However I do feel that me and Ricky delegated the work well to ensure we got it done on time. We each dealt with one half of the map each and did the scripted sequences for our parts. We came together to put the final finishing touches on the map and to record the speech for the maps.

So, onto exactly what my contribution was:

1. First half of the map which the player walked along
2. Cutscene number 1, which included the screens giving the name of each person in the movie.
3. Cutscene number 2, which featured the players character, Hodge, being knocked unconcious by an explosion from a faulty gas main. He is believed to be dead and the team continue.
4. Cutscene number 3, which featured the characters inspecting the checkpoint and the computer there, and realising they need to go to the labs.
5. Cutscene number 4, which featured the characters discovering the barracks area. The sargent tells them to check the area.
6. Cutscene number 5, which includes Cox being killed by an alien being, and the team making a gruesome discovery in another room.
7. I provide the voice of Corporal Kyle throughout the duration of the scripted scenes.

Overview of the game level produced

The backstory to our level is fairly straightforward. A team of commando's is sent to investigate after all contact is lost with a top secret military base. When they get there the place is seemingly deserted. Exploring further in the team are killed off one by one by a mysterious alien being. You are the Last Man Standing!

The map we produced is supposed to represent a military lab. The first room you come to is the reception room, where Hodge is knocked out. Down a corridoor beyond here is a military checkpoint complete with security terminal. The team use this to check the status of the lab. Then we come to the barracks area. The alien strikes first here, by hiding in one of the rooms. As Cox ventures in to investigate, the alien strikes and kills him. Beyond the barracks is another storage type room which private Powers is sent to investigate. Powers also goes the way of Cox as the alien jumps out from behind a counter and rips him to shreds.

The remaining squad members press on into the lab section of the facility. They see some failed experiments on tables and are shocked by what they see. The alien stalks the remaining soldiers and makes short work of them before turning his attentions on you, the player...

Overall I really enjoyed doing this assignment. The opportunity to really be creative with what we did was given to us and I feel me and Ricky worked well together to acheive our goals.
