Last week me and three of my class mates went up to SOFE (School of Future Entertainment) in Karlshamn, the occasion being that they where hosting the anual "24 h game concept challenge". Also, the students of SOFE where showing of their entries in GCC, The Game Concept Challenge, and many of them where quite impressive.…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
