Today I have been mostly modelling this caravan -

Still pretty new to working in 3D so it took me waaay longer than it should have to put this together! Let's take a look at it in game and lit anyways -

I've also been putting in some work on the final scene as well. Super happy with how bright and vacant this area is compared to the rest of the game - contrast is key!! I'm still having an internal battle over how minimal to go with this scene . . .

Pure unhindered imagination!! beautiful work!

Always love the minimalist route with limited color palette. Lighting sells the solitude atmosphere very well.

Cheers very much!

So I've been animating! My background is in 2D illustration/design with a little bit of animation hear and there, so it's a been a rewarding struggle teaching myself to work in 3D!

Here's a look at some of the basic animations I've been putting together for EMPORIUM (apologies for the dense GIF compression!)

Like I said my background is in art so my programming ability isn't amazing. To balance out this I've been working with the unity add-on Adventure Creator to implement all my logic and gameplay. Adventure Creator is essentially a node based visual scripting add-on with a focus on classic adventure game mechanics - I'm using it mainly for its dialogue system, as well as basic logic and interaction. It's been a blast so far, and with my very limited knowlage of C# I'm still able to implement the odd custom script if needs be!

I've also put some polish on this stairwell scene, as well as implement the necessary gameplay.

Currently I'm putting the finishing touches to the final scene, relatively chuffed so far. Looking forward to showing it off here!

 

Artwork is mysterious, I like it!

What kind of game is this?

Cheers The majority of the the game is a collection of small conversations, with multiple choice dialogue responses. It'll be a very short vignette sort of thing, a focus on interpreting the environment and exploring the branching dialogue.

Even without a dead body in front I'd still assume something unsettling was happening here. Looks great!

Also cheers! I'm having a lot of fun learning how to create a sense of forebode with the just lighting alone. A slumped body is the icing on the cake!

Looks beautiful so far I like the idea of hyperpersonal games as a genre too, it's how I've always worked as an artist - Little shared personal experiences

EMPORIUM is a little game I've recently started working on. Gameplay will be very stripped back,
centred around a single dialogue between two characters

Looking forward to posting more as I progress and you can also keep yourself up to date on my website and twitter twitter
