The character models have been in development this whole time and still are :D...

I have been thinking about it... This game has become something more than just a project to release. Throughout its development, it has constantly improved my 3D engine and helped me gain experience...

Also AI but I liked how it turned out, so I decided to share it. Why not?...

Madera's appearance says one thing, but in reality, he's something completely different)))). An AI-generated concept, by the way. The actual model will be low-poly, of course, but I'll do my best to p...

Conversation 1: It turns out that the animator and level editor replace Blender. Literally everything. At first I had problems with the animator because I kept wondering how animation could work witho...

So far, I’ve made a hand with a blade, a regular hand, and an assault rifle. Shooting has been temporarily removed from the game, as the combat system is currently being reworked. Right now, I’m t...

I made this enemy in a day. It was already becoming difficult to work on because I’m getting tired, so I’m slowing development down for 1–2 weeks. That’s actually quite critical because, consi...

Yep, the gameplay with all three enemy types is finally working! Updating the Shadows was difficult, but now their AI behaves the way it should. Instead of mindlessly running straight at the player, S...

I’ve finished the fire enemy. What does it do? It simply moves toward the player (it’s faster than the player), and once it gets close enough, it jumps at them. To deal with it, you either need to...

The grappling hook is actually a sort of exoskeleton mounted on the arm. A creation of the fox Hodi... though you probably don’t know her, do you?)...

Surprisingly, I made this one in about an hour... and there’s only one more enemy left to create :O That means the first implementation of each enemy might end up being even faster than I expected...

Honestly, I decided to worry even less about... topology? Shape? Silhouette? Whatever it is. I’m kind of tired of obsessing over it. :D She’ll need to be remodeled. Or rather, redesigned. I’ll h...

I'm realizing more and more that modeling any character is a process with its own unique workflow, and that workflow is highly specific to each individual model. Honestly, that's one of the things tha...

For now, the blade can’t shoot. Unfortunately, I haven’t come up with any good ideas for that yet besides simply firing it with a button... Well, I’ll think of something eventually. For now, the...

I finally achieved the style that I like. Over these 90 days of modeling, I tried and experimented with a lot of different approaches. And it turns out that making a head with 171 triangles, texturing...

Maybe she’ll appear in the game, maybe not...

Yeah, I’m still trying to improve my skills. This is a new version of Ellaila, though it’s still not guaranteed that this exact version will appear in the game...

For 80 days, I was writing the story. It was complicated, strange, and… edgy... And here’s what I realized after those 80 days. Honestly, it was kind of a mess. So yeah, the story is going to be a...

The text below might be useful to someone, but for me it’s definitely a reminder. Turns out that anxiety level heavily affects the final result. What was genuinely holding me back was the fact that...

It’s not very good. Mostly because they’re barely noticeable on the model itself, and in-game at a low image resolution they’ll be even harder to see. But the experience was interesting...

The new model is on the left, the old one is on the right. This one turned out better, I think. Though there’s still something less fox-like and more rabbit-like about her. If you compare her to the...

During testing, a bug was discovered when attacking at very low FPS. The values start flying into 1e-06. What’s funny is that in some places this becomes critical, like with these camera rotations d...

Just like Madera, she can perform dashes. Though she can only wield her katana, while he can also hold an assault rifle in his left hand… or something that pulls him toward things… :D For now, I...

Worth mentioning — a small game is being prepared to test the engine. It’s almost finished. Yeah, it’s definitely kind of funny making another game while this one still doesn’t exist yet, lol...

Here’s another new character — Nara. She’s actually supposed to appear somewhere in the middle of the story, but I decided to try modeling her now purely out of curiosity. I intentionally avoide...

The first attempt at making Quake-style Ellaila, but it was done using blockout modeling instead of creating points and triangles manually...

The blade that was given to Madera after his resurrection in hell...

And here’s Ellaila, the version that will appear in the game during the first iteration. Took me a long time to make. Rigging this was extremely tedious because Blender, for some reason, can’t pro...

Here’s a new character — Madera. He’s the main protagonist… but you won’t actually see him since the game is in first person XD. Oh well. He isn’t textured yet. I finally figured out how t...

At that time, I was learning how to model a body, and it was also extremely difficult. This model took 30 days to make. Because of that, I realized I needed to slow down the scope of the game’s deve...

This is a secondary character - Ellaila, a fox. Worth mentioning: over the course of a year, I opened Blender once every 1–3 months to make something, but it was usually on the level of “create a...
