Title: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on August 08, 2017, 10:04:00 AM Fennel Fox (Title TBD)
This little game is about a little fox going on a little adventure to find his keys so he can go home and play video games. It’s a cute low poly adventure game that is being made by me and my fiance.

Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on August 31, 2017, 03:55:34 PM Hey all just wanted to share a new screenshot of the café with our little Mouse Barrista and Fennel Fox chatting. I'm finally out of crunch at my day job so I'll be able to post more soon. Cheers :coffee: (http://i.imgur.com/bgnXdJJ.gif?1) P.S. I'm looking into how to get better GIF quality so it won't be so blurry. Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: Alce on August 31, 2017, 04:55:52 PM Always love some well done low poly art! What are you using currently for your GIFs?
Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on August 31, 2017, 09:52:34 PM I'm currently using Giphy Capture on Mac. I know that my SO is using something else that is much better but she also has the direct renders from Blender.
Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on September 20, 2017, 11:58:13 AM Fennel Fox is off to the mart to find some tasty snacks! There's a little Vending Machine outside the Mart also. And what's this? One of those cool new Electric Cars! (https://i.imgur.com/xcXjRpH.gif) (https://i.imgur.com/ZqFLspO.png?1) (https://i.imgur.com/b7v2SfR.png?1) I also wanted to share this little video of my SO Shandiin animating the Barista Mouse in Blender. (https://i.imgur.com/Knwu6Qm.gif) Hope you're having an awesome day! Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: archgame on September 22, 2017, 09:35:15 PM The images are super vibrant, what lighting and shader setup do you have? (C4D + Unity3D?)
Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: GrumpyGiant on September 23, 2017, 10:27:56 AM That is super adorable!
Are you sure you don't mean "Fennec Fox"? Or is it supposed to be named after the herb? Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: Manuel Magalhães on September 23, 2017, 01:10:25 PM I really like the artstyle. Looking forward to it. :)
Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on September 25, 2017, 09:40:43 AM The images are super vibrant, what lighting and shader setup do you have? (C4D + Unity3D?) We're currently using a Blender + Unity setup with a shadeless pipeline where we UV to a world texture that everything samples off of. So all shading is done by hand by Shandiin. Super efficient and creates a cool look. That is super adorable! Are you sure you don't mean "Fennec Fox"? Or is it supposed to be named after the herb? Definitely Fennel like the herb, in fact all of the characters are named after herbs :D I really like the artstyle. Looking forward to it. :) Thank you! As a quick update I wanted to show you the tool we're using to do content scripting and dialog. We are using Yarn (https://github.com/InfiniteAmmoInc/Yarn) by the awesome Infinite Ammo (https://twitter.com/infinite_ammo) that was used for Night in the Woods with Yarn Spinner (https://github.com/thesecretlab/YarnSpinner) by the great The Secret Lab! (https://www.secretlab.com.au/) Both are free and open source so you should check them out. Here is a screen shot of one of the nodes where you're ordering some fancy coffee from the café. :coffee: (https://i.imgur.com/6LRImYI.png?1) I'll go into more of what we added to Yarn for our workflow in a future post. Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: Alce on October 03, 2017, 02:16:07 PM Didn't know about Yarn, seems very interesting! Looking forward to your next post.
Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on November 30, 2017, 10:39:23 AM Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I last posted. There is a good reason though…… I GOT MARRIED!!!!!! WOOOO!!!!!! I even made a game about it which you can check out here (https://subliminalman.itch.io/wedding). (https://i.imgur.com/LKeMhKn.png) Well off to updates about the game! We're roasting up some tasty carrot dogs and slurping up some slushies. (https://i.imgur.com/ktXaabN.png) Here's how you're going to chat to animal friends in the game. The bubbles even wiggle! (https://i.imgur.com/SOc71Wt.png) And here is some tool views on how we can add and change triggers in real time for quest sequencing with Yarn. This makes it much easier to test during runtime and to make sure save files work. (https://i.imgur.com/cDZSIfP.png) Also we did our first showing of the game to the Tokyo Indies Meetup while we were out on our honeymoon! Photo by the @tokyo_indies (http://www.twitter.com/tokyo_indies) meetup. Big thanks to them for having us and having such an awesome event! Definitely check them out if you're ever out in Tokyo! (https://i.imgur.com/A6dQGAL.jpg) So now that we're married and have gone on our honeymoon we are back to the grindstone for this game so that mean more updates! We are gearing up to be at GDC 2018 to show it off to whoever want's to see. If you're out there hit us up and we can hang out :D Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: Ninety on December 02, 2017, 02:53:19 AM This looks great! Really love the graphics in particular.
Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on October 26, 2018, 01:08:08 PM Wow it's been a while since I did an update on TIG. Well lets go over some cool things in the game! First things first! The game is now called Button City. (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/t/5a812e0aec212d8118280c7e/1540485642737/) Fennel now has a cool new jacket. (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/5aa1fd924192024c5e7c7d84/5aa1fde471c10b1becdd4460/1520565815071/fen-jacket.gif) You move between levels by zoomieing! (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/5aa1fd924192024c5e7c7d84/5aa213c88165f526f0f2f67f/1520571364923/zoomies.gif?format=500w) You have a cool crew of friends who call themselves the Fluff Squad. (https://i.imgur.com/AbV783y.gif) Also there is an arcade! (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/5aa1fd924192024c5e7c7d84/5aa1fe0a652dea8074f1759b/1520565815096/fen-arcade2.gif) More stuff later just wanted to give a quick update! Title: Re: Button City [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: archgame on October 26, 2018, 06:54:43 PM Button City has a really nice ring to it. The graphics look nice, they remind me of Donut County (which I recently played at Button Mash ;) ).
Tokyo Indies on a honeymoon, that's dedication! How was it? Any recommendations for showing a game there? Congrats on getting married <3 Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] Post by: subliminalman on October 29, 2018, 11:49:48 AM Hey thanks archgame! Tokyo Indies was really cool and everyone was extremely nice then. We also went to this Tokyo indie game expo a few days before the meetup and that was awesome as well.
For showing a game there you can demo at a table or if you show up early enough you can grab a presentation spot. We didn't have our laptops since we were on our honeymoon but we had video and screenshots so make sure you have something that is visually interesting. I do want to give them a shout out for being so awesome and giving us that opportunity even though we didn't have anything playable. They're a really great community. Title: Re: Fennel Fox [Low Poly Adventure] - Finished back in August! Post by: subliminalman on March 17, 2022, 02:26:54 PM Uhhhh so I should've updated this along the way but...........
We released Button City back in August 2021 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S! The game became more and different and it was a full wild ride that I was so lucky to be part of. I came back here to grab some of the gifs that I posted for the GDC talk I'm doing so I though I should update this thread to let everyone know that this project finished out. Here's some images of the finished game. (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/1623184725182-LGGW2FVGX1FTERK7ZYYB/ButtonCity_Gif1.gif?format=1000w) (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/1623184886266-7PGNFW0G1X9R2PKT2VYX/ButtonCity_Gif2.gif?format=1000w) (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/1623185078269-9QHWK62AHNEC92EVHEY1/ButtonCity_Gif4.gif?format=1000w) (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/1622580175872-O62NSAXIBCFCZEYSFH3G/ButtonCity_Screenshot10.png?format=1000w) (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/1622580203486-Q3TPXC155O4CK2WH311O/ButtonCity_Screenshot08.png?format=1000w) (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/1622580454717-1Q3XRT0R9JV0XDPOH20Z/ButtonCity_Screenshot_RevolutionRacer02.png?format=1000w) (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a73eecbe5dd5b61a30921f6/1622580506498-YWCC27G6E61USSWBKCIO/ButtonCity_Screenshot_Prismabeats01.png?format=1000w) If you want to see more you can go to our website (https://www.buttoncitygame.com). I'll probably come back here after GDC to do a full post of our development. |
