Okay, no new art, but some thoughts about marketing that might be something to think about even for other artist if they are thinking about how to market themselves with portfolio. So I will start making some youtube devlogs because the common advice is to get started with marketing as soon as possible. Since the game…
@zetheros I've done that already - the planning. What you've described is kind of where I am right now - developing the assembly line by conducting research and doing experiments. Along with that I am also iterating on game design, starting from the master plan and trying to verify that all of it makes sense in practice.…
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…
A few things to share that I've learned about level design: The first question I've tried to answer is workflow. How will I actually make the levels? As a solo developer I have to find every little trick to cut corners however possible while still meeting my desired quality. So it took some experimentation but I think I've…
Okay reached a result with the hero that I'm happy with. I was feeling very low confidence about this but it only took half a day to get something I'm happy with. Face isn't exactly like the reference but I think it achieves the character that I wanted. She is attractive but not dainty / weak looking. Looks good with…
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…
@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…
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…
Thanks @zetheros I go back and forth on how far to push it. Sometimes I love it, other times I feel like it's too heavy handed. But the buildings will get eventually get some accent colors which will break up the monotony of yellow, so I better wait until materials are in place before making a final decision about lighting…
@pxgeek I have not used mixer but using megascans in general would probably take care of a large portion of my environment texturing needs. The only issue is that it kind locks me into a realistic style which I'm not 100% sure it best approach yet. I mean, I know for sure that in terms of shape language and general layout…
