Roads and Marintime services approached Unsigned Studio to create an interactive game that could attract users and teach them about RMS’s new 10 point safety plan. The goal of the player was to make it back to the dock safely while following the new rules. My role was creating the low poly environment and the sound for the project.
The environment consisted of low poly assets derived from the asset store and custom made set pieces. all asset then had PBR Materials applied so correct light and reflections added a bit of flair. To give an organic feel, the assets were sculpted then decimated to get the randomised topology.
You have to give a wide birth to other marine users
Bouys are there to inform the captain of the direction to go
Gradient shader to add a colour shift to the underside
A “Squishy” algorithm was added to fit the timing of the beat
Gameboy sampled for some crunchy sounds
Korg Monologue for Midi and sounds
Sunvox for the music software
Unity 3D as the audio mastering suite
Since the playthrough was against the clock. The backing track could be contextual to the environment and create a sense of urgency as we could predict where the player would be along the track. The team wanted to create a retro styled track reminsant of the 64 game wave racer, so the track was created with Sunvox and my Korg Monologue.
