An adventure game about cycling across ASCII art generative landscapes.
A year ago, we've been extremely lucky to receive a grant from the CNC (French National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image) to work on a game design document for The Wind through the Wheels. We finalized it last month and we are quite happy with the progress we've made on defining the game, both in story, design and game mechanics. Read more
Dans l'idée d'un scénario où on serait directement dans une course, nous imaginons la ponctuer d'évènements qui prendraient la forme de mini-jeux. Les membres de l'équipe pourraient alors proposer des solutions, chercher dans leurs souvenirs afin de réussir les mini-jeux et ainsi avancer progressivement dans le jeu. Read more
Dans un article précédent, nous avons vu que pour déplacer le cycliste, trois forces nous intéressaient : la force de la pente, la force du vent et la force de frottement. Nous avons alors fait des calculs pour estimer les puissances à vaincre afin d'avancer. Read more
Nous avons consulté ces deux articles afin de comprendre comment pouvait être modéliser un entraînement en endurance : Read more
Last summer we (Adel and Vincent) applied for a grant from the CNC (The French National Centre for Cinema and Moving Images) to finance the game design conception and writing of The Wind Through the Wheels, and it was accepted! Read more
In order to move the cyclist, we want to take into account the effects of the wind, the slope and the athlete's health. We also want to be able to measure the physiological effort made by the athlete. To do this, we need to calculate the forces that have to be overcome to move. There are at least three forces to take into account: the force of the air, the force of the wind and the force of friction. So we're going to talk about speed and power. Speed refers to displacement in time and power to energy expended in time. Read more
With Vincent Maillard, we worked on how to build and render the road and its background landscapes in The Wind Though the Wheels. Using the “ascii smooth lines” system I introduced last month, we focused on approaching the landscape as layers of relief profiles projected into space. Read more
I worked on rendering smooth lines in ASCII art using character subdivision. Read more
