Hello everyone, Critter Box Stewdio is a new Indie Game Studio based out of Texas(Can be looked up in Houston/Harris County Business Registry). We have recently started posting info on a game we have been working on for several months and have reached a point where most of our coding is done, but our Models/Animations are…
When I think of true Cyberpunk, I think of William Gibson's original 'Neuromancer', as well as all his short stories from OMNI. 'Neuromancer' had, if you remember, Case the neurally-damaged-and-then-repaired console cowboy who spent his days in the original vision of virtual reality; Molly the mirror-eyed street muscle…
Shadow of the colossus- fighting each one of those massive things are just epic..climbing one of them to find the weak spot pretty much sold it for me, the interactivity of that experience was one of a kind.Arguably one of if not the best PS2 game. oldies but goodies(family comp days)-contra(up2,down2 you know the drill :D…
I disagree with this arguement. The Alien films all have a very clear art direction. Which was influenced and defined by the technology available at the time of making. The Aliens universe shouldn't change because our technology improves or our understanding of what will be available in the future is made more clear. If…
Submerged, the dead ship serves fine for Mother's rest. Setting In anticipation of using Allegorithmic's tools, I wanted to design a throne room which takes inspiration from organic textures like rust and turquoise. I've imagined a sunken spaceship which has been long empty, though occupied by several species; one, human…
It still looks like it needs alot of work. Making a scene with the foliage in it and some proper lighting / a background might help. I'd say working on getting some proper lighting in the environment scenes would help you the most. Adding proper material definition to things (spec/ reflections on all your metals) will help…
The problem is that balance though Verm. Todays ad/media to out of balance in power. There is soo many forms of competition for an advertisers dollars, the advertiser can get away with asking more specific requests. Can you name a big budget modern sci-fi film that was able to >match< Bladerunners subtle use? (No, Minority…
It feels to me like there is too much noise overall in the texturing. Like the overall frequency of noise is too uniform. All of the textures have noise on them it seems and it detracts from the overall scene for me. I know you havent done a proper lighting pass yet. But look at any good game level and you'll find that…
This week's brief is Light and Darkness. I've been asked to spend the week working on my lighting, so no modelling for me this time. Lighting is easily my weakest area, so I should learn a lot this week. I have picked up an american diner scene from the Unreal Marketplace and plan to re-light it two different ways to try…
Here is my first inspiration board. I tried to keep it somewhat limited. I could easily spend a week looking up reference, but I only have 6 weeks, so I need to get working. My big environment influences are Bladerunner, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Republic City from Legend of Korra, and other fictional city designs based on…
