A couple more characters. I think I figured out a few little tricks to make this style look a bit better. The furthest right character, the Nubian, was created a couple days ago. Then I did the two satyr characters, and I think they do look a bit more refined. There is a few subtle changes: 1. I added thin borders of color…
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 *…
@Fabi_G wow! thank you so much. you ever have that feeling like you know you have forgotten something but aren't sure what it was? That's how I felt about these illustrations. Like they were close to what I wanted but not quite sure how to bring it all together. Your examples make them feel completed rather than abstract…
nothing too exciting here but getting the basics blocked in for the spartans animation blueprint. i've found that it's not a lot of point to focus on anything other than basic timing for a first pass and then get it setup in the game and start refining it based on what you see there. Melee characters will toggle between…
Okay I haven't reached next milestone but learned quite a bit in last week. Initially I was turned off by Unreals viewport tools so decided to do level blockout in maya instead. It is definitely feels a lot faster because you have many QOL things like isolate select, invert selections, full suite of modeling tools,…
Okay, this post will talk about next big iteration for the level design. The previous design was probably fine, however I have plenty of time before my first deadline and I think there are some major improvements that can be made both artistically and for gameplay. Level blockout update In previous post I mentioned that I…
okay two more days to get the amazons controller finished. This is the most complicated one and serves as a template for the remaining ones. It is mostly the same as the prototype one, though under the hood its cleaner code, all nicely standardized so doing the other heroes' controllers will be pretty mindless work,…
can't spend to much time reviewing all the new things but like the 1st img & i feel like that belly/baseball dive hurts a lot even to look at sometimes, every-time i see it i say to myself that must hurt. :) i wouldn't know what to do for that atm but worth mentioning from an outsiders perspective. Cool to see it coming…
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…
starting to block in the scenes that will be used for teaser. will take a lot to bring this to completion but I think the basic idea is there. just going to get a blockout with color done like this for each scene, then do rough pass at the teaser trailer, then start refining environments and characters together. not a lot…
