Wisps: The Redeeming

Hi,

My name is Mihai Cozma (first post here) and I'm developing an indie video game called Wisps: The Redeeming, you can see more about it on my blog. The game is a combination of Snake and Pacman, but with 360 degrees movement and modern physics. The game is done in Unity 3D.

I do most of the art myself (2D and 3D) using gimp, blender and inkscape, while some of it was taken (free to use) from the internet. I am however no professional artist, so I don't know if it is OK to post it on this forum as it is not outstanding, its just enough to what I need in my game (where all objects are very small), that is why I posted my link here first. I also don't have too much concept art as it was done pretty quick and rough, just to get myself an idea what to model.

Thank you for your appreciation. It is a bit early indeed in its development, however the game mechanics are pretty much nailed although I didn't talk to much about them, but I will soon.

Thank you also for the link, as I didn't know about this technique for foliage.

I have just posted another video update about my development [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkAQF5NXAnU"]here[/ame].

Thanks! I know the latest updates didn't bring anything new in terms of visuals (and this is an art oriented forum) but the next video will show you a new vegetation set a friend has been working on (trees, plants, terrain textures). I will post it sometime during the next week.

I'm back with a quick announcement: Wisps: The Redeeming has entered closed beta testing. For now only a handful of people will test it, but I'm considering a more open beta test as the release date approaches. If you are interested in testing the game please keep an eye on this page for future announcements.
