WASIAT TOK 'S
PROJECT TIMELINE
Wasiat Tok is a game created to participate and compete in UTEM's Workshop 2 project competition.
WEEK 1
Workshop 2's Online Briefing
-
We are given a workshop 2 briefing on Microsoft Teams.
-
We are also been given 14 groups with each group consists of 4 people and 1 supervisor.
-
My team is group 13 and our supervisor is Dr. Ibrahim.
WEEK 2
First Online Group Discussion
-
We discuss about who will be in what position on the team.
-
I am the asset artist of the team who is responsible for developing and providing the asset for our game.
-
We also discuss about what our game should be, how each level should be design, what game mechanic can we implemented, what suitable game engine should we use, and how our AI being implemented in our game.
-
Each members are given task to perform after the discussion. I was tasked to provide the player 3D model.
WEEK 3
Player 3D Model Creation
-
I started creating a base mesh of the player's 3D model using Blender.
-
I also started rigging the model.
-
I try to create some clothes using the Blender's cloth modifiers but instead encounters several problems.
WEEK 4
First Meeting With Our Supervisor
-
Before conducting our first meeting, Dr. Ibrahim wanted to see our storyboard.
-
Therefore we discuss about our storyboard on discord. Our game designer, Fatin Aqilah, will translate our discussion on to a piece of paper and create a storyboard.
-
On Friday on week 4, we met our supervisor and presented our storyboard.
-
Dr. Ibrahim is impressed and give us the green light to proceed.
WEEK 5
Presenting Our First Prototype
-
We met our supervisor on Friday, 10 am.
-
We presented our game prototype on YouTube.
-
Dr. Ibrahim give some critics and improvement but for the most part, he is impressed.
WEEK 6
Scraping The Player Model And Creating The Monster Model
-
The player model will be scrap because we thought that since our game is in first-person view, it is useless to create a player model and time resource can be redirected elsewhere towards more meaningful task.
-
I started making the base mesh of the monster and modified the mesh in Blender's Sculpting workspace.
WEEK 7
Texture Painting The Model
-
I started texture painting by create an UV map of the 3D model first.
-
Then I unwrapped the UV map and start applying the materials.
-
After that I started painting the model while adjusting the incorrect vertices of the model.
-
Texture painting takes 3 to 4 days.
-
Finally, the texture can undergo texture baking to produce a texture map that can be use in the game engine.
WEEK 8
Animating The Model
-
The monster is rigged and animated in Blender
-
I have created 3 animation state:
-
Idle state animation​
-
Walking state animation
-
Attack state animation
-

WEEK 9
Troubleshooting Blender's FBX Export Problem
-
This is the week that almost broke me.
-
The base mesh is complete, the textured is mapped and the animation is completed.
-
But when it comes to exporting, that is when trouble comes.
-
Apparently, Blender has a known problem for a while when exporting 3D model to a .FBX file format which is use to render 3D model in a game engine.
-
When importing the model to the game engine, the texture is missing and the head is elongated.
-
For 5 straight days and sleepless nights, with a dozen or more of exports settings combination, formats, and redesigns, finally the model can be exported with the textures but the skull is still elongated but not much.
-
After the ordeal, I zipped the file and send it to my teammates.
WEEK 10
Modelling The Keris
-
After I was done with the monster model, I proceed with modeling the keris.
-
The keris model is much less complicated than the monster model, so I have finish the model in 1 day and finish texture baking and exporting the other day.
-
After completing the model, I zipped it and send the file to my teammates.

WEEK 11
Designing Our Group's
T-Shirt and Poster
-
As required, all teammates need to presents their own T-Shirt design to their supervisor.
-
My T-Shirt has a minimalist design with our game title on the front right chest area and our group's name is placed at the lower back of the T-Shirt.
-
I also design 2 of our game poster.
-
The first design took inspiration from an old dirty paper with black ink with a keris and our game title.
-
The second design is a 3D rendered scene from Blender of our in-game keris model on a table with some dust particle at night,
-
Later, we compile all of our group's T-Shirt designs and posters and send it to our supervisor to be evaluated.
WEEK 12
Supervisor's T-Shirt And Poster Design Selection
-
This week, Dr. Ibrahim will give us his T-Shirt design selection.
-
He prefer the front design of Syahir's T-Shirt.
-
He also prefer the back design of Qaisyah's T-Shirt.
-
To conclude, Dr. Ibrahim want us to combine the design and tidy up the design a little bit.
-
As for the poster, Dr. Ibrahim chose my second poster design but needs some adjustment.
WEEK 13
