Cry of the Fox

Cry of the Fox is a game about a stray fox trying to escape a post apocalyptic Paris.

​

This game has been made during our second year at Buas and took 24 weeks. I joined this project as a gameplay programmer in the last 8 weeks which was focused on the release of the game and we had a team of 20 people during this phase.

Mantle mechanic

Before I joined this team, there was a prototype for a mantle mechanic, which used pre-placed boxes which would be used as places that the player could jump towards.

​

When I joined the team, I created a new system out of this prototype. The new system changed the mantle to be more free-form allowing the player to have more freedom, while making it easier for the level designer to work with as it did not require placing any manual boxes anymore. 

​

While working on the new system, I also worked closely with the Animation team to help them set up the animation blueprint with the jump to make it feel more realistic.

I held a meeting with the tech designer and the main level designer to discuss the requirements of the mantle mechanic.

Final result of the jumping mechanic.

After the project was done I spent some time redoing the jump mechanic to transfer it from blueprints to C++ which can be found on my GitHub.

Option menu

I worked different parts of the UI with a focus on the option menu.

 

The option menu has custom sliders for changing volume and options to change holding down a button or just pressing it. 

​

The menu also can change the render quality of the game so that people with varying qualities of computer could enjoy the game.

Scent mode

Another Player mechanic I worked on was the scent mode. 

​

The scent mode allows the player to see the enemies better and get an idea of where they are walking to plan out a way around them.
