"Right then, troops, gather 'round! In this week's debrief, we’ve got a high-speed mission to tackle: modeling a gritty, abandoned house for my upcoming top-down 3D shooter. Watch as I put my digital boots on the ground and build this structure faster than you can say ‘Corporal's tea break!’ The mission? Crafting the perfect post-apocalyptic ruin – full of grime, rust, and just the right amount of dodgy floorboards to make you think twice before charging in. It’s a sped-up operation, so you’ll see me deploying all the tools at my disposal, dodging the odd rendering glitch, and soldiering on towards victory. The model’s not 100% mission-ready yet, but progress is being made, comrades. Don’t forget to smash that like button, leave your orders (comments), and subscribe before HQ calls me in!

Tough and Gritty: Ragdoll Test is a small project where I've been testing enemy ragdoll reactions when hit by player shots. It's a simple, gritty experiment designed to fine-tune the physics of enemy behavior. As a solo dev, I'm still exploring and learning,  give feedback, and join me on this journey of chaotic fun!

I’m testing and implementing impactful SFX to enhance the gritty atmosphere and create a more immersive experience. From intense weapon sounds to environmental effects, I’ll show how these elements contribute to the overall feel of the game.

Step into the battlefield with Tough and Gritty's intense new game mode: the CQB (Close Quarters Battle) Gun Range Challenge! This mode isn’t for the faint-hearted; it’s designed for players who thrive on pressure and precision.

In this video, I demonstrate a custom-built realistic flashlight system for Unity, perfect for any FPS or horror game! This flashlight system mimics the behavior of a real gun-mounted light, with the ability to toggle it on and off using a simple key press.

Key Features:

• Realistic Light Interaction: The light won't shine through walls or obstacles! Using raycasting, the flashlight dynamically adjusts its range, giving you a natural response to the environment.
• Subtle Flickering Effect: For added realism, the flashlight features a subtle flicker that makes it feel like a real, slightly imperfect tactical light.
• Easy Integration: The system is fully customizable with options to tweak flicker intensity, speed, and toggle settings.
• Sound Feedback (Optional): Add audio feedback to simulate the sound of turning the flashlight on/off.
