more boring stuff - for others game development seem to be something exciting - I mostly just work 🤔
turns out the real work is with the graphics
and let me tell you - making a main character is 10x harder than anything else 😓
and even with extra attention they end up horrid 🤔
long story short I remodelled Zortch - by hand from top to bottom
you will need to trust me on this - there is little difference 🤔
the neck was adjusted, shirt was tucked in, boots fixed
and now the fingers are animated - might as well 🤔
turns out you need good topology for good animation
anyway then I made another mistake: how about showing all weapons on the viewmodel
in the previous game no matter what gun you had you held the shotgun
as originally no mirrors were planned and it was only meant for a model for security cameras 🤔
now adjusting 17 models is a lot of work and a lot of weird things happen
here we see Zortch running along with her little walkie talkie
it's both amusing and tragic 🤔
another amusing thing - the redesign of the main villain - the doctor 🤔
he is meant to be a scary figure - but so far he looks like if Gilbert Gottfried was a borg 🤔
or maybe he looks like more of a crazy dentist on the loose? 🤔
if anything he has the attitude 🤔
so only one major model is in need of finishing (the jeep model)
and the rest are optional ones..
alas this is the part where I'm getting tired and not sure what to do next 🤔
character wise it was a smooth sailing - in fact this might be the first fps game
where feature creep was outdone by creature creep 🤔
now only if I was good at making levels too 😓
anyway that is all for now..
until next time! 👋
