How Probuilder will improve your project

So we talked about what Probuilder actually is and why u should start digital prototyping from the start. However, let's talk more about the added value of Probuilder and how using it will improve your projects. This post will be a bit shorter since I already talked about a couple of things that will improve your project.

Like I mentioned before using Probuilder in your projects can speed up the development process. Thanks to the fact that you can easily build your level in its basic form and from there you make it more elaborate. However, during this time while you make it more elaborate you can already start testing the basic form. You can ask people how to size of everything feels and depending on what type of game it is you can even test mechanics already.

Here is a great example of a very simple blockout for a zombie shooter:

🅹🅱 Twitterissä: "Outside layout with zombi in my abandoned city ...

🅹🅱 Twitterissä: "Outside layout with zombi in my abandoned city ...

All of the shapes you can take cover behind are still simple blocks as well as the buildings surrounding the area. However, you can already test this example because everything you need is already there.

Now from this example you would test and since it is still in its basic form you can easily change things that don't work. Perhaps a certain cover doesn't work. Or maybe the spawnpoint for the zombies should be in a different spot. Since we are still in the early phase of the project you will get a lot of information which you can take to your advantage to change things around. And you would have saved a lot of time later when things get more complicated.

This way you can startout with a strong base for your project.

What is Probuilder?

So what is Probuilder? You might have heard of it before. However, if you have never heard of Probuilder don't worry. I will tell you what it is used for. This tutorial is for anyone that is interested in using Probuilder or if you are interested in speeding up the proces of your projects. So Probuilder. Probuilder is a tool that can create simple geometric shapes. Just like you can spawn a cube through Unity you can also do this through Probuilder. Now you might think well if I can spawn cubes through both methods why would I need Probuilder? Let me tell you why: Cubes are not the only shapes you can spawn. You can also create prisms, pipes, cylinders, arches and even stairs. The added value of creating these objects with Probuilder is that you can edit them. You can create your own 3D models without having to learn Maya or other 3D modelling software. Now you can stay with the basic shapes and already create a level with simple stairs to create elevation. However, with e

Challenge 2: More elaborate models

Now that we have created the base of our project we need to create some more elaborate models. These models are still kept rather simple. You don't have to think about creating highly detailed models yet, because that's not the point with Probuilder. I picked 2 models from the previous challenge that I will make more elaborate. I will show you how they looked in the first challenge and how they will look now. Before I can do that I will need some inspiration of course. So when I think about my village I see a fantasy world like the Witcher in my mind. For the look of my buildings I started to look at the houses in that game as well as other games. House: https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Tomira%27s_hut Fountain: https://www.primrose-nederland.nl/klassieke-stenen-fontein-drielaags-p-45511.html As you can see they don't have any details yet like in the images from which I got inspiration. However, you can still see that it is a fountain and a small house/building.

Why you should start digital prototyping immediatley

You might have heard people say you need to start your project with paper prototyping. Creating a paper prototype and testing this prototype might be useful for certain games, like board games or card games. However, if u want to create a digital game you want to start digital prototyping as soon as possible. Testing your game in paper form could yield different results and you might end up changing mechanics or the core of your design because it didn't work in paper form. However, it might still work fine if you went and made a digital version. With Probuilder you can create a digital version within a matter of days or perhaps 2 weeks maximum. Depending on how big your game will be and how elaborate your mechanics will be. Once you have created your quick blockout you can then start testing and adapting your level on the results. And with Probuilder you can make changes fast. Because of this you can get a lot of testing done in the early phase of your project. By using this me
