Okay so a lot of things done. I made schedule for 70 hours per character but I have finished the last three in about 12 hours or less. This is first draft of characters and not including animations, but nonetheless it seems like this art style is certainly a lot faster. A lot less technical things to think about so more…
thanks @iam717 that's one of my favorites so far. Fabian has made some improvements for the Persian hero. My original model is on the left for comparison. And some more polish on the Nubian hero as well. The Nubian will be the playable character for the Steam NextFest demo that I try to have ready at October. If I don't…
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…
the skirt is cloth dynamics in unreal, which gets added in the skeletal mesh asset . It collides with the physics asset. Getting it so that it looks natural and doesn't clip through seems impossible, lol. It looks like in examples like paragon they tend to only simulate free hanging things or just short frills, not so…
worked on logo for store. I built this in maya, lol. I use maya so much and image editors so little, I just found it easier to do it in maya. I'll likely replace the gorgon silhouette once I update that model. I think the hair could look better. It's a small detail but I think the marketing art is worth getting just…
Few notes on harpy progress: https://youtu.be/0aH5A_DNM7c Last time I fought harpies in a game I think was dragons dogma, whenever that came out, like 2010 or something. I was very excited about them - dunno why just seemed like a super cool enemy to fight. Unfortunately they were just a fodder enemy in that game and not…
I'm still not finished with my current game project, but I took a break from it for nearly two months to prototype some ideas for next project. 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? But it still has to be something I want to play and am…
Okay, no update on this project for a minute because been working on an update for an older game and it takes a lot longer than I hoped. But its nearly complete so I have been returning to this. I have been working on scheduling more than anything. After preproduction and then actually doing production task for awhile,…
Did you think about first person camera? Painkiller, Dark Messiah and Thief come to mind as FPS with projectile based weapons. Any gameplay aspects that make it neccessary to be a third person camera? I imagine switching has potential to reduce the amount of work: less player anims, room for fakery, less camera struggles…
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…
