Overpower Art Thread
polycounter lvl 6
Hi guys, I posted some images for the game I am working on, but they got taken down when cghub went down, so I thought I would make a new thread and host the images elsewhere. So sorry about the reposts, but I do have some new art to show. I have been taking a stab at environment and figuring out our level so here are some updates.
A little info about Overpower:
Overpower is a free to play Fantasy Shooter game I am making with a friend in Unity. Hes doing all the coding / programming and I am doing the art. We have some friends chipping in here and there but its primarily been the 2 of us.
This is the first time I am attempting to make a game on the side. So I am learning a lot and just trying to figure things out. Anyways, here is some art
Crazy Bots running around fighting each other (temporary environment)
Arena Level prototype in Unity
Take on forest Trees:
Characters, which I previously posted in another thread
Thanks for looking, I will continue to post updates in this thread from now on.

Hi guys, Its been a while since I have posted anything. I have been transitioning from character art to Env / UI / Logo stuff. I just wanted to share with you the progress on Overpower.
We have a new logo, we also have some new Icons for our classes and here are some in-game screenshots from Unity using Marmoset Skyshop Plugin to show how our first level is shaping up
I also made a tutorial for how I tile my subtools in zbrush to create tileable hand painted textures with a normal map! (see last image)

Try to use a different stone texture for the floor than for the walls - it's visually confusing when both look the same.
Rather than using stone walls for obstacles, why not use hedges? Water is another excellent obstacle, slowing down or blocking characters while not affecting visibility (except for those pesky rogues hiding in it...)
I'd lose the shrubbery above the border walls - it doesn't look natural. A decent skybox/dome with a decent texture would suffice for a distant background - that's what the first few dozen Unreal Tournaments did, after all. Part of me, though, would like to see the entire arena dropped into a coliseum; sure it'd be expensive to do properly, but it would explain why people are running around killing each other.
Some of the stone textures - most notably those on the stairs - line up, forming obvious artificial lines.
It would probably make life easier for the players if the characters' colors were team, rather than class. based.
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to write that up. The level is very much a work in progress so some of the things you mentioned are temped in others like the texture scales I can easily adjust so thanks for bringing that up.
I would like to include some of the things you mentioned, water and hedges etc. I am still pretty new to Unity and have alot to learn about their Env tech before some of these things can be impleneted. Thanks again!
soo its been a long time since I posted an update, and I have a lot of new stuff to show you. I finished up the first arena level you will see it in the screen shots below along with a preview of the next level I am working.
I learned a ton about env art / level design / unity through the process of making the first level. I am taking these lessons and applying them to toward the 2nd level, I plan on going back and recreating the first arena again and it will be even better.. but until then here are some screen shots from Overpower!

In-Game Shots / Maps
Youtube Tech Demo showing Capture Points
Well thats it for now, I hope you enjoyed the update. If you want to know more about the game and how it plays etc then check out our EPOCU profile, we have a design summary written up there and you can check us out and other indie games as well!
Cheers

That's because it's metal, not stone. Maybe it could be more obvious material wise but why on earth would those parts be made of stone? xD
Trying to get into the habit of updating more frequently the thread. So here is a WIP of the next warrior armorset for OP. Its still in the rough dynamesh state but I am using zbrush to concept the design. I basically just keep changing pieces until I find something I like. I am trying to make it look sweet without over detailing it. Feel free to let me know what you think. Thanks!
Its been a super long time since I have updated this polycount thread. So I want to introduce / re-introduce this game to people.
Overpower is a third person fantasy shooter game that I have been developing for over a year with some friends. It plays a lot like counter-strike but with melee weapons and magic.
I have a lot of art to share with you as well as a trailer!

We also have a new gameplay trailer! If you only click 1 thing then watch the trailer

Here are some recent screenshots from the game. I am using PBR Shading inside of Unity to light the levels / characters.
All new character art:
BaseMesh Sculpts
Here are some creatures I am working on that are part of one of the upcoming game modes!
I'm not sure what to name them. They are based off a Cat / Skunk / Turtle!
Well thats about it for this update. If you are interested in the development of the game I will post all our social media outlets.

Thank you Karytsukino, Glad you like the style!
Here are the finished renders of the male ranger:
With wireframes:
Our goal is to recreate an MMO style PvP experience that is just as amazing as playing an MMO game but you don't need to grind for months beforehand!
Our inspirations are Counter - Strike / TF2 / Vanilla WoW / League of Legends / Tera
