Hi! As some of you may seen , me and bro said we're going to start working on a game we designed ourselves. Now, I know what you are thinking, you can't really do a commercial quality game as a two man team; yeah, well we are here to show you can. We don't have a game design document, no planning, no funds and almost no good idea what we are doing, but we have passion dedication and belief in ourselves and our work.
Still, that does not mean we are not being realistic. The easiest way to spot a beginner in the game industry is that his game design document is big and fat, he wants spaceships and dinosaurs in the game, and for it to be RPG and FPS and RTS at the same time, and zillion of other stuff, but he has absolutely no experience and no mean in the team and WILL (most likely) quit after trying a few times and failing.
Then? How do we go about this? Well, here is the plan: we are going to do a duel-type game. One arena. Two factions. Limited range of characters. The rest is gameplay, scripting and balancing. If we do this right, we might actually reach to something that deserves being called a game, but in the end you guys will be the judge of that.
We don't plan on selling this anywhere, we're doing it for practice and fun.
With all that being said, welcome to the project! ^^ -
simply˛sh 12 posts27 May 2010Oh, almost forgot, here is an early start on the face. I focused on getting the topology right (even thought it's less likely we're going to animate the faces, that doesn't mean I shouldn't build it topologically correct) so it kinda took forever -__-
Would love to hear some critique from you guys
More to come! -
27 May 2010Hey man, good start on the topo.
Some things I notice:
- A single loop for the eyelids is going to be un-animatable, add at least two more in that same fashion.
- The triangle on the side of the nose is unneeded and will mess up your deformations in that area.
- You'll want at least one more edge loop across the eyebrows, preferably a couple. Normal maps will help but you still want it to deform a bit if you animate.
- You need edgeloops for the inside of the mouth so that when the mouth opens he still has lips
- One more loop across the chin so it doesn't stretch when you open the jaw
Good start, keep goin'! -
28 May 2010Hehe! Great early post! I love the enthusiasm and I hope it continues. I have nothing to add (Jay is the facial guru around these parts) just words of encouragement.

eNdu 11 posts01 Jun 2010It would appear we found a programmer to take care of our engine! He's kind of a beginner but we don't care
). If he can code basic stuff like rendering a background and some models on it, then we'll take him!
Now it's only up to us to do our part and not let him down! We're starting production on the characters as we finally finished with those puny exams.
Great to hear from you guys! -
simply˛sh 12 posts06 Jun 2010Hi!
Thanks Jay for your comment. We are not completely sure if we are going to do facial animation, so I tried keeping the poly count at a minimum, but either way we do this your advice is invaluable considering you have a lot more experience in this than we do. About the triangle at the nose, there's not really a triangle there, it's just the wire overlapping in that angle.
Thanks Global for the support
Sadly, I have to show my face around here yet again without an update - since I've been away - but I was able to draw a fairly simple sketch of how the first character will look like. He is supposed to be the Guardian of Lumina, which is a slightly twisted angelic faction in the game. I want say that I tried to keep a clean line art and this is not necessarily how the final model will look.
I know me and perspective (or drawing as a matter of fact) have nothing in common....but I AM trying >__<
I'll get back to 3D as soon as I'm home.
Cheers!

simply˛sh 12 posts28 Aug 2010Uhm I'm not sure if anyone is actually still following this, but I'm going to continue anyway :p
Sorry I took so long, but I finally got a chance to do some 3D, and I started on the guardian. It's still early, but here's a sneak peak ^^
Uhm I just realised that at this pace this is going to take us forever >_< hope things will speed up once I start school and I have a proper working environment.
C&C more than welcomed

eNdu 11 posts31 Aug 2010Hey guys!
Have any of you tried Sculptris? It's like a simplified, free version of Zbrush. I find it incredibly fun and creative. Try it out.
I used it to get back in shape a little bit. I'm not really a detail freak when it comes to anatomy, but this is what I've got after 40 mins of playing around:
Hope you're all well and thank you for your time and interest in our project.
