Had to take a break from the enviro stuff my hands were hurting from it, so I knocked out a bunch of short coding task and also made a few additional outfits for hero, in addition to improving the textures. Will be working on second pass at enemy character models and then animations in coming weeks before finishing out…
Okay got first building in the game. I have some more detail trims to put on it but for now I am going to skip past those final touches and try to get the main chunks of each major building ready. I have a feeling workflow will get a lot more streamlined so I'll save those more time consuming parts for once I get the…
Okay finished this one and it took longer than all the others combined. had to come up with a new workflow and style. for this one i wanted to hand paint a lot with the gorgon character - e.g. not relying on just overpainting some photobashed stuff as much. But then it becoems a problem if I cannot paint to same quality as…
First steps of the harpy taken care of. A basic model with focus mostly just on silhouette, and a rig. Animations over the next few days, and I probably wont bother with textures and refining the model until after the level art is completed. It seems much easier to make decisions about the design of characters after having…
FInished with the pitchdeck art. I ended up not using some of the illustrations I made. Should have actually built the slides first because once going through it, becomes much easier to understand it from the potential viewers perspective. then i updated plan on what art is needed. most the stuff I made will be used one…
Okay, a little bit of headway has been made for the level geometry. I have done a bit of enviro art before but not at a scale like this. So I had to do a bit of experimentation to figure out how I'm gonna handle this all. The first big question is, "what do I actually need?" That stymied me for awhile so I decided to just…
Was looking at some ways I might improve the character model and I started looking at metahumans, and then spent some hours figuring out a workflow how I can get the parts I want from it to improve realism, but get rid of the extraneous resources and complexity... what a rabbit hole. I started to think, "this is the…
Didn't feel like starting new character yet, instead took some more passes on the main character. This is just sort of a concept made by frankensteining parts from other characters together: I think the basic idea works, though I'll probably just do leather gladiator sandals as bronze greaves feel too heavy. I might not…
Did a little more with level blockout. Wasn't happy leaving the end area quite so unfinished. Added a bit more detail to a few buildings in the Agora that are very blocky. Also increased height of the acropolis so it's more of an epic climb to get to the boss fight. It can now be seen from almost anywhere in the level…
thanks sacboi! I feel like I've been making progress very slowly with the level design but things are starting to get moving. i didn't expect it to be as big a deal as it is - so far it has been the most challenging aspect of the development. But it is also area I have less experience. Had done a bit of enviro art and…
