Hello

So it has been a long time since i updated my blog, and oddly still manage to get a few views and what not, I had two big problems over the past year one being a virus ruining a huge proportion of work i had done namely loosing a month or two of texture work and the second problem was the resulting crash of motivation from seeing all my work texture less and wanting to flip a desk, that included two fleshed levels which were huge and all my characters which i had below this post. Before then i had actually made a few web demo thingies that i sent to a few people it was a 2.5d version of things i had made with maya and unity but i was not very happy with how it was looking in unity as making normal maps was a pain in the ass. So after a long hiatus from working on it i decided to just play around with a few other options to using actual 3d models in my game and after salvaging a fair chunk of work i settled on making the game assets from 3d renders as apposed to 3d objects. And its been coming along very nicely so far.

My current goal to have my first game level/scene set up with all my animations for that level and some interactivity with some npc's currently i have the level almost finished maybe it needs a few tweaks here and there i have some pieces to add into it. At the moment i have use still frame renders for the npc's that will be in the level in various poses, and a few keys from the main character in  his orange outfit and couple of the farm workers who are meant to be mentally challenged clones doing stuff around the area. I still have a few buildings to place in and move some bits around but im really with how its coming along aesthetically at the moment.

At the moment i have a test scene which you can run around with the a premade test character from a tool kit im using  if you fancy a look at it in your web browser it may take a few minuets to install or less depending on your net connection all you have to do is allow it to install a unity web player plug in, its perfectly safe ! so 

 Cleeeeeek Cleeeek Web Player

(arrows to move space to jump and fyi nothing to do in it but walk left and right :op)

Also my hard drive decided to slowly die on me and i cant do anything till my new one comes so feeeeeeeeep you hard drive failure.

Super sickly update cause i am sick yay

Yea so had family over stopped me doing much, then i got deathly ill and am now 7 days going with some weird throat/chest infection fever thing. So my next big update which was meant to be soon, ie more models textured levels didnt happen. well i made 3 models and some animated props tweaked the farm location a bit.but basically i wont be doing much or have much to show for a while maybe.

Mega Balls update !! Megaaaahhh

So sadly a good friend of mine passed away not to long and my enthusiasm for working took a hit but, I have been pushing hard to get more work done and make some progress. So a lot of modelling and planning and stuff, I have some new stuff to show. A big level its a pass through video, i moved a few things around in to give an idea of what i want to happen in some parts of it, still needs to be textured. And some Enemy npc models which have made and rigged etc, They are for a gang in the game called the street kings yeahh they gonna feck you up like a thing that fecks things up !

These three adorable fellows are my street cruds part of the street gang from the area just after the farm, And yes one is a robot kinda guy, street gangs can have robots kay. Also none of this have been skinned properly yet i just did a quick heatmap.

                                                                       Crud A

Crub B ( im so creative)

Robo Crud

                                          

Big Ass Crud

                                         

Bag Head

The Boss- Street King

                                          

The roof tops level

so this is a big level in the game, at the end it leads into a fmv im planning.

Its basically some construction site, that you will make your way through interacting with npcs and objects fight some guys, then take over a construction bot that will knock over some scaffolds to another area and this is going be a tenement building thats been taking over by some type sci fi themed biker gang, and the plan is that you will meet some damsel in distress who upon interacting with will offer you some tips on how to woo a lady which you have to learn through out the game in order to eh fail at wooing the princess, if you rescue some guy the biker guys have chained up down below, so you will do some stuff fight a gang boss steal his biker keys free the guy make your way to the roof steal his bike, then its like a chase where your riding along the roof tops.

Still need to make a lot of clutter objects and and texture and refine some of it a fair bit, Then il start making the npcs for this area. At the moment im trying make the characters for each area including rigging/skinning etc.  Also some interiors for some parts of the early game.

Thats it ! my update.

Level designs w.i.p

So I my have shack interior built(where the protagonist lives), primarily for a animated scene 

the farm which i have quests to take place in, the street after the farm which is the first

kind of proper game area after the street is going to be a roof top location which im going to start building next. Here's some panning vids of the sets and a sort of plan for the street set. 

I need to make 2 or 3 interiors for some buildings on the street set, so when you enter your in a new area kind of thing. Il probably leave those till after the roof top area is done and then texture the street and shack interior then do the other interiors. 

                                                                          Shack

So i basically finished the main characters model and rig, few tweaks to be done but its basically done, I was going to start modelling the princess character but instead i got stuck into the first level design, since i had already built most of its assets i spent this week texturing it and making a few little nic nack type objects for it. So i basically just need to create the exterior street out side the farm, with some climbing areas and then the roof top zone that leads to the princess parade !

I might do some character modelling first im not sure anyways here's a video of what i has done so far, I just have to animate some sign's for the big floating billboard above the factory in the background. And just some little animated object in the world, like the goo in the canister and some other bits.

A Blog Shortfilm/Game Character updatearoony

So yes i started work on a new idea for a short film & game its the same idea but im planning on making enough for a short film and using the assets for a game demo/proof of concept thingy, then try get start funding/green lighting to pay for some coders/ models and what not.

yawn

I know i should have an update by now. But basically i scrapped it and started some thing new.
So yeahhhhhh. Im sleepy.
