Generating (very fluid) landscapes Also makes for some good psychadelic album covers #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #crimsoncounty

Original and the "de-make" Interesting challenge to take a character and turn them lowpoly. Especially since a lot of details have to either be lost or changed entirely #3dmodel #3dmodelling #gamedev #gamedevelopment #lowpoly

While we're working to get the main lobby/Ranger Station set up, we've also been playing around with orbiting and fixed camera angles. The orbiting is ideal for spectating. The fixed ones... well, that's a secret #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #crimsoncounty #crimsoncountyforestservice

I don't get to interact with scammers that often (thankfully), but I think this was the first time it was directly linked to an AI... I didn't get the full cupcake recipe out of it, but it still gave me and the rest of the team a good chuckle. Stay safe out there, don't click any links!

We've got a Firewatch Tower! A member of our team just finished it for our game #CrimsonCountyForestService With some luck you'll get some nice views from it... maybe more? #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiehorror #crimsoncounty

Now you too can be bad to the bone Anyway, after way too long, the skeleton's also finished. Just like with the Raven, base textures are all handpainted. Very painful... ow #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #indiehorror #crimsoncounty #crimsoncountyforestservice

I realized, I never uploaded my #conceptart for our Cryptids here It's not the full list, but some of the core designs that we've put some planning into for mechanics and scenarios #CrimsonCounty #CrimsonCountyForestService #gamedev #gameconceptart #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #cryptids

It's finally done. The raven, for our game #CrimsonCountyForestService is rigged, weightpainted, textured and implemented in-engine. Tho we're still lacking anims for it. Nonetheless, I'm happy that it turned out as good as it did. #gamedev #indiedev #3dmodelling #indiegame #3dmodel #lowpoly

One challenge that'll be interesting to solve for CCFS is seeing if we can get away with faux-volumetrics, while still adhering to the 90s aesthetic Though this example is missing the surrounding fog #gamedev #gameart #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #lowpoly #retrogame #3dmodel #crimsoncounty

The big stompey lad is finished. Well "finished" in the sense that he's textured and in the game. Still, I'm happy with how the result turned out #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #CrimsonCounty #CrimsonCountyForestService #retrogame #horrorgame #retrohorror #indiegamedev #3dmodelling

Jacket so good, they made part two and three Jokes aside though the new customization options were successfully implemented and we even get variations by tinting the textures, alongside wardrobe features #gamedev #gamedevelopment #crimsoncounty #crimsoncountyforestservice #indiegame #indiegamedev

Incidentally, Park, Crimson and Sunless Ranger are also good names for difficulty levels Though for now, these are mainly for promo purposes #CrimsonCountyForestService #CrimsonCounty #Gamedev #Indiedev #Indiegame #ConceptArt #Indiehorror

Though it wasn't intentional, it is rather fitting to start modelling the base human's skeleton in the spookiest month of the year. Plus, it opens the door to have player's/NPC's skeletons comically light up when they get electrocuted #CrimsonCounty #3dModelling #Gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Our Programmer - who also happens to have a mocap setup - had the idea of combining my hand-animated stuff with mocap parts for specific sections where a mocap performance lends itself to a better animation. Here's the result: #CrimsonCounty #Gamedev #Indiedev #Indiegame #3dAnimation #Indiehorror

Because I apparently don't have enough feathers in my cap, I also started doing some animations for #CrimsonCounty, though for now they're mostly on the simple side, since I'm quite literally just a beginner Also Animgraphs are literal lifesavers #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #3dAnimation #devlog

Besides Gamedev stuff, I do occasionally try to keep my other #3DModelling projects going. It's a bit of a case of spinning plates, but doing constant lowpoly stuff also makes me fiend to make higher fidelity characters #AutodeskMaya #CharacterArt #Modelling #3DSculpting

Currently doing my annual playthrough of the #MassEffect Trilogy And with my playthrough of ME1 being completed, I thought I'd make a little love-letter to a phenomenon I've come to call the "Bioware Face" Be it with default Shep, or a custom one, it never fails to put a goofy smile on my face
