some more work on this scene. I changed the way it is laid out a bit wanted to take a break from the complex palace for a moment, and focus on something more simple, landscape and rocks on this peninsula approach. I find it easy to build natural things all day long, but buildings really drain me. trying to make a play…
some work on Persian forest level. just a few more little dioramas like this to do and everything will be blocked in for a teaser trailer i have added lighting in as you can see but it's a type of cel shader that removes all of the diffusion. I might not be using correct terminology but you can see what I mean. It's like…
okay first pass at the Persian hero character. waffled a lot on the design for this one and still not super set on it, but at least i got something ready can iterate on. Tried some baggy "harem" type pants but couldn't find anything that worked. Perhaps just needs some more time on it though, I just dont want to get sucked…
got rig for the persian setup. she swaps between sword/shield mode and bow mode so a few extra controllers for that. She also has some dreadlocks and skirt to be simulated but setting that up is tedious so i do it later and keep knocking out the big things for now. The good thing is that rigs and animations are starting to…
Minoan hero character. really happy with this guy. some finishing details left to do, but calling it good enough for now. May end up with a spear for gameplay purposes but if I can make the axe work I'll use that instead. Also been getting some help from @Fabi_G who made these characters, which I think are achieving the…
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,…
@iam717 if you don't wear shoes for a long-time feet become like leather and lose sensitivity in them. like dog paws. i am sure that any ancient warrior who had sandals or boots would wear them, especially if going to fight, but for this character her archetype is like a challenge run character - similar to how in dark…
@iam717 that's an excellent reference image. idea like that could work well for an underground labyrinth level. i think my shader right now has most of the features to support it so i'll give it a go once i get to that level
bit of blockout for the minoa palace. like the main stairway on right but left side I think should maybe tone down the columns so that pathway ahead is clear focus. maybe see more of the city rising onto hills in distance on left side to give sense of vastness. I'll only show it from player perspective so I think maybe…
More blockout on the minoa level want to make a few notes about how I plan to tackle this, because making a big level - it's kind of difficult to figure out where to start, and do the work in a way that gives me flexibility in the future as much as possible, but is still quick and productive this is my first major foray…
