None of these are weight painted/rigged yet. Hopefully it won't take long. I am also planning on making original clothing optional.

Mostly done with Vypers (re)model, hopefully when I get around to getting her animated the patch isn't out and it works at least decently well. #deadlock #nsfw

New version of Celeste is up, adding back in tattoos!

My "Blessed" Celeste mod is out now on Gamebanana! For now she is without tattoos, as I still have some stuff to fix with those textures. gamebanana.com/mods/652136

If someone can figure out how a set of animations existing in my file was changing how my model was being rendered and adding seams I'll award them a gold medal (worth nothing)

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

So I'm working on Celeste right now, as I ran into a bit of an issue where there were seams all over that looked like they were based on where UV seams were. I spent upwards of 5 hours doing all sorts of things in ModelDoc, Blender and wherever else. It was some animations EXISTING in ModelDoc. What

I'm definitely not going to use generative AI. In the case of Embark as far as I'm aware they train their own dataset based on voice actors that are duly compensated.

Had a though about female Venator... had to make a rough proof of concept. To clarify this is JUST A CONCEPT AND NOT EVEN CLOSE TO FINAL. I'm also not sure if want to continue since I don't know what I'd replace the voice lines with and such.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Probably at least a week, I've got Celeste done for the most part and will get to working on fixing my older mods once shes released. I'm also most likely not going to include any of her clothing options until later, unless I can figure out a quick way of doing that.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Graves was taken down by moderators due to her age being in question. Until there is something explicit stating her as an adult I'm not planning on bringing it back in any form.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

I've figured out (and fixed) the issues with the textures in my Silver mod. It was a combination of missing some consistency between the base and my custom textures, with some slightly old custom textures and mesh. Hopefully out within a day or two if I have some time.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Its fortunate that at least the models get included before the characters are voted in! Otherwise this would take at least 3-4 days after the characters are released until I have something usable.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

I do have to say, characters with loose fitting clothes are really hard to get looking decent, and previewing changes takes forever. Luckily Celeste is next (for me anyway), and she has been pretty straightforward (She does have a lot of tattoos though, let me know if you have any ideas for tattoos)

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

As Silver is out now, its only fitting that I also release my next mod! I had a couple issues, but I think it turned out pretty good! Get the mod here: gamebanana.com/mods/650502

If you don't have experience with 3D modelling or games tooling software it is a lot to learn, especially since each update changes some part of the process (or requires for example CS2 tools which makes iteration times a lot worse). Depends on what you want to make, some things are a lot easier.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

I'll refrain from sharing the mod anywhere until Graves gets an explicit age (18 or over). Sorry

000

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

No worries, its alright to ask! I'm not planning on re-releasing it until she gets an explicit age (that is obviously 18 or older).

010

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

I'm not planning on re-releasing it until she gets an explicit age, sorry.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

As for other mods, I've made pretty much all of the models and textures I need (Mcginnis is not done and for Vyper I'm waiting for a remodel). I'm currently planning on making the two new characters (Silver and Celeste) first so I can release the mods along with their in-game release.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Yeah but REM is not a human and thus I'm assuming given a "child" exception from things like rating agencies. They even specified his from a completely different world.

010

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Regardless I still think she is an adult, the only points to claim otherwise is that she talks about her Sophomore year, which doesn't mean she is a Sophomore. In addition I cannot find a single instance where a child is in a valve game, let alone one you can kill.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

My Graves mod got removed on Gamebanana. I'm going to respect the decision of the moderators and the general Deadlock community at large and not reupload the mod.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

The mod was made with her being an adult as she wasn't released when I made it. All the lines only refer to her being young (same as vindicta) so I assumed she is a young adult, her talking about her sophomore year doesn't mean she still is one. Regardless the mod got removed and I'll respect it.

Yeah unfortunately with the mods I make, I always proportion them according to their skeleton and original model (parts of which are not made with the intent of being visible), so things like legs and necks often look weird. Thank you!

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Other than making all of the characters at once (so I can do all of the same work in bulk) and potentially unifying the clothing, not really. I would also like to say I've improved in general but there's not quantifiable way for me to prove that.

010

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Not really, outside of Bsky and Gamebanana there aren't any. If i set up a Patreon it will be at least a couple months down the line.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

110

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

I've used the time to think a bit about how I could make the outfits for each character, potentially using one "master" clothing mesh across all characters so I could use one outfit for all characters without extra work. This could potentially also let you create custom outfits yourselves.

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Hello everyone, its been a couple weeks. I've been really busy lately and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do with the upcoming/current holidays. Sorry for the silence and I'll share some more progress if I have the chance.

480

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

I'm not sure, they aren't made with that sort of quality in mind (its using in-game rigs and whatever). I might release them at some point but for right now I don't know.

000

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Yes I am planning on adding futa versions for all of my mods. Most likely not in the initial release, but hopefully sometime soon after.

010

sts_developer @sts-developer.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Yeah I'm planning on tweaking all of the characters a bit, as they have similar proportions in areas (like the arms for example)
