Hello all,
Just wanted to share this with everyone…
It is a free game I made all by myself using Zbrush for all the background work (all the nature stuff: Trees, flowers, rocks)
My next scroller will use Zbrush for the charictors too. this game I just used Wings and Blender with the vertex colors… next game I will use Zbrush and skin everything first before I animate.
This game took me 3 days to make , and only has 3 levels… I think I may stop development on this project after 2 more levels…
Zbrush sure made it easy to make the nature stuff… the masking came out perfect with verry little effort…
I sure enjoyed this hobbie project… I may include this in my portfolio…
The next project will be a space shooter like the old Nintendo game Metroid… player will have the freedom of going in various directions, and finding new tools to help in the quest…
My new gameing hobbie is going to be nice games… in My games the player will never have to commit a felony, or use Drugs to win the game… that is how all my upcomeing games will be… I want to spend 50% of the time on “fluff” games that have no Major acts of violence, games you can feel safe to let your 5 or 6 year old kid to play…
On the other 50% i want to do the metroid like game… have it with just a bit of violence, on non humanoid computer players…
I may make everything robots, so the game is not simbolic of KILLING, it is about “retireing” the robots like in the book “Do androids Dream of electric sheep?” or commonly known by the movie title Bladerunner…
I think I can make a pretty good game that all ages can play and have fun with, without all the blood and gore that is associated with games now a days…
later on I wil do my Gore fest game, after we get the multiplayer working a bit bettter…
I am going to play with Zbrush and Morph targets today… I want my trees to have faces on them and to smile when the player passes by them… the morph thing will make it verry easy to snap off the 3-10 frames I need
