To be honest @Fabi_G , I haven't really given that a proper consideration. The inspiration for the game started probably waaay back when I first played Morrowind. I always played archer builds (same in subsequent elder scrolls games) but I wasn't completely happy with how it worked in those games. Later there was Demon…
Okay last time I posted my next plan on the agenda was to start refining the level geometry. However, I realized that I didn't feel confident enough about some of the gameplay to be ready to commit to making art. The ranged vs ranged combat I felt was pretty solid, but fighting pure melee enemies left a bit to be desired.…
Okay, got some actual gameplay going on. Although I am just sticking to typical mythological creatures for the enemies, of which there is no shortage of concepts I could pull from, I wanted to wait until I've actually had a chance to fight them quite a bit before I consider how they might look. Now I have played quite a…
Small progress update: General project management: Spent a day and a half preparing on boarding material for a music guy. I was lucky enough to snag a guy who is doing a final project for his college and needed a game project to contribute to. Preparing info forced me to have to think about how can I breakdown project into…
The main problem I want to get around is that there is too much work for a solo developer. How can I make smaller games? (…I'd assumed was rhetorical?!) However TBH, I think it's all relative. Basically in my opnion probably determined by ones character traits/workethic i.e. what might be a personally reasonable investment…
Satisfied with blockout of the first three major areas. If anybody has some feedback about composition in general I'd appreciate it. At this stage it is still easy to make big changes. I have 2 more areas to blockout over next several days. I might make a build for play testing before advancing forward from blockout. I am…
Here is a big workflow decision that is going to take some testing to figure out. There are two main ways I can import level geometry meshes into the project. I can export an entire building from Maya and then Unreal will consider that a single static mesh. It may share materials with other buildings, but if BuildingA and…
@iam717 thanks for the great feedback I agree about the enemy satyrs having a short range attack. There is code for that and if they run into you while jumping it causes damage, but I haven't made animation for it yet. my original idea was they do like a kangaroo drop kick with both hooves. Agreed about the jumping being…
Will share a workflow here because was difficult to figure out: How to add tattoos to a 3d character? The first and probably most obvious choice is to use stencils in your texturing app and just manually paint the tattoos. Problem with this is that any tattoo which wraps around something like arm becomes very tedious as…
I like how it's progressing. The only thing that bothers me - the legs look too naked and unprotected. It feels like she's running barefoot. I'd add shin and forearm protection. Probably something light and elegant like cuff bracelets.
