Think you can block a door ? Think again! In Lizard State, if you try to block a door by standing in front of it, enemies won't hesitate to kick it down to get to you. #gamedev #indiegame #WishlistWednesday #PitchYaGame

🔥 Pas de nouveau Splinter Cell ? Pas de problème ! 💥 Lizard State par @lizardstate.bsky.social est un hommage vibrant aux titres d'infiltration d'Ubisoft (d'ancienne génération), en plus de proposer une panoplie de mouvements et de possibilités bien plus étendues. 👀 À surveiller donc ...

I did the character designs for this game! This was the first time I've made designs for a game like this, and it's been a lot of fun seeing the project develop.

Design for the the main character for the game Lizard State, a slick operator in a skintight suit with a gasmask and high tech goggles

Design for a guard for the game Lizard State. They wear a high visability jacket and overalls, as well as a cap, balaclava, and goggles.

The main character from Lizard State, standing on a rooftop pointing a pistol in heavy snowfall. it's night, and the snow is illuminated by windows, floodlights, and the laser sight from the character's pistol.

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics. I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

A heavily built knight in spiked armour and butcher's apron, wielding a two handed sword edged with long hooked serrations and engraved with gothic arches. His helmet is shaped like a screaming face, with a black void within the mouth.
