This project looks beautiful. Can I ask how you go about creating the environments?

Thanks, Fawful. (I've heard that you have fury) I start off with Unity's terrain tools to create most of everything. For the water features, I take a screenshot of said terrain, where I've distinguished the path the rivers take, and use it as a reference in Blender, where I model the surface, following the form of the rivers. For the cliffs, I've made a variety of cliff objects from a single rock, which I've rotated, scaled, warped, and such.   And then I just set them along the walls. Trees and other vegetation also use the terrain tools. So I've been working on modifying the combat controls to something that JWK5 suggested. The camera is still controlled by the mouse, but instead of two attack types spread over the left and right mouse buttons, attacks been streamlined to use just the left mouse button, and the right one's been made to target. Attacking is rather simple: Holding down the button begins charging an attack. If the player releases the button before the charge finishes, then they do a normal attack. If it charges all the way, then it becomes a heavy attack. That said, I should be able to get a little video out soon that shows all of this.

Ahh, I see. That's pretty effective. Thanks, McMutton. (Rage is the apropriate dressing for a salad of evil.)
I asked because I wasn't sure how much attention one should give to filesize or how feasable creating the entire level in a 3d modeling program is. I had this idea that if you made the level out of a bunch of seperate pieces intead of one big model it would reduce filesize.

I couldn't say for sure, since I'm a total amateur at environment art. Back to working on this, starting with getting Van done. (The actual fur is done in-game, so I just drew some on.)  Originally, I was going to have him wear a pair of normal gauntlets and use fisticuffs, but that wasn't over-the-top enough. Conversely, as it's probably too subtle to notice, I'm pushing the proportions a bit more. Bigger feet and hands/forearms, thinner shins, wider thighs, thinner waists.

Absolutely amazing work here. I like to peek at your art postings, they are are always a treat. This work is incredible.
Best of luck in your project.

Very nice. The fur on his collar looks a bit too over-rendered, maybe? I mean, maybe it could have less colors to match the style of the rest of his clothes. Nice work so far, though, really. You've got awesome art skills.

Cool. I don't know if you're looking for critiques, but it looks like you could have a bit more up & down on the walk and some more twist in the hips. For the guard idle I would involve his body a bit more in the big arm movement, like have him tilt to the side a bit and maybe shift his hips as he brings his arm up, then have a minor impact when his fist hits his side... Also if the rifle is meant to be resting on the ground make sure it doesn't look like it's sliding.

Yeah, I see what you mean. The spear would be a lot easier to keep still if I were able to use IK in that arm, though. Anyway, I've given the trees actual leaves rather than those billboard blobs. I've also set of a particle system for clouds:

Just messing around with some weather:  You can also see the archway's lantern is able to light up, as well as an actual entryway to Highmill. As soon as I manage to stop floundering about, I'll be getting started on the actual area.

Really cool. Nice work, indeed. The trees look pretty good, and the rain's looking nice, as well.

Winged brown-haired girl is cute!
The curly blond-haired guy is kind of offputting in some way, I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn on the hero at some point and reveal he's been a villain all along. It may be something about the straight line over his eyes and his smirk.
Everyone else looks really young and he has much more adult (smaller) eyes than the rest, that may account for it.
