Working on design for a minotaur character. This is also part of ongoing general art design work. I want to try and get character iteration time down by like 50% so I need to look at some ways to get away from realism. The struggle is is that realism is pretty much the only style I ever enjoyed. The minotaur will be a boss…
thanks @NikhilR height will be like 2.5 ish meters but I may push it more. have to get model in game and see. I just start from "real" size and then exaggerate if it doesn't feel intimidating enough in the game. I always disliked in games when enemies are so enormous but the fact is, I want players to fear him so if making…
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…
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,…
Okay finished an experiment to go for more stylization with the characters. I built a new model for the main hero character. This time I only did basic low poly modeling and just flat colors for materials. Just push and pull vertices in maya, no sculpting or complicated workflow. The minotaur model is the original sculpt…
@8:16 in vid, arrow to back or just being near the enemy or did the enemy stomp on her? That was sudden, i didnt see any arrow.Yes things get a touch repetitive (what you mentioned does) she seems at the misfortune of the enemies (unprepared) for anything other than arrow fighting. About that how does she collect arrows,…
gonna go through with pitch deck and vertical slice demo. I just design the pitchdeck so what art I make for it can be reused. Begun a 2d artwork that will be kind of like a movie poster with a bunch of characters and enemies on it. Today I settled on the composition and color and started blocking in. its a big painting so…
After much playtesting I've developed an optimized way of playing the game. Now in this overhaul of character controller I am trying to make it so that it is as intuitive to play that way as possible. Previously I had an extra button for combat stance, which ducks and crawl / ducked run. And then another button for dive.…
Athenian soldier and hoplite have enough animations to be playable. Now headshots and shields matter. If you headshot guys with a helmet it knocks them on ass and does small amount of damage, but doesn't do bleed damage. But in the second they are down you have opportunity to shoot their body or get away.…
Project review: Getting close to six month review. I make a full review after completing my next milestone but a few short notes might be worth sharing here. In previous six months I have:* completed prototype, which tested out a few combat mechanics and discarded many ideas to focus on a focused ranged-only design *…
