Discussions for WIPs?

There's no page yet for work-in-progress stuff.

Health bar

Oni's health bar is imho almost iconic to the game. So I would like to keep that radial shape.

Over here is a whole list of other characteristics we might want to re-create.

We can get the basic idea of a radial health bar from this one video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1XDatYlxhc

For the other characteristics we can learn from this one.

As known through XML:ONGS Oni's health bar uses multiple color zones. The videos show that UE4's lerp node is only used with two colors.

That means we will have to set up multiple conditions for those linear interpolations - or "lerp".


To be moved to the actual page(s?)

Naming

I guess technical material and link collection shouldn't be longer on my Wishlist. That project would be better to have its own page. Right?

What would be a good name for that project and its main page?

"Unreal Oni" maybe?

If the project fails we can half ironically say it was unreal indeed.

If it is a tech demo it would emphasize that it is made by UE. paradox-01 (talk) 18:55, 5 November 2017 (CET)
