Disenfranchised player model(s) and beyond...

always liked your black and white idea

Nice black-white effect OB
I'm really curious to see this project finished some day, well actually I hope it's in the nearby future For me it already looks like the game with the most pro look besides other games such as David's game and Buiy Buiy Rocket game form Nadestar. But I havn't played yours so it still could gain those other two

Cheers

Looking good. Good fps too for the 1600x.. resolution,

Cheers

It's running on a 7600 GS, but it was 60 on my 5200 FX, too. It's stuck at 60, though because of the XP bug, however it drops if you try to choke it.

The main issue plaguing me right now is getting the model animation right. The first test from the person that will probably be rigging for me were promising but early and full of interesting mesh deformities. I'll receive a better version tomorrow, so I hope in the end it works out.

Getting this part of it right pretty much is what this game's fate hinges on. If it ends up not being right, then I'm packing it up and moving this to an all 2D game using another engine.

I don't want to do that given the amount of years I've put into this version, but I'll know if I'm licked if the time comes. That would be ashame, too given I've developed a pretty unique looking style, and I really really like the way this model looks in the screenshot above. I have self-shadowing turned on which gives me that nice shadow across the face. Too bad it looks like complete garbage on the rest of the body when in motion thanks to mosquito noise.

Did I tell you already how much I like your project? I like that its more of a "serious" kind of game, and its all adventury (A word that I just invented).

Making it in black and white feels fresh and gives the whole game that "Film noir"-theme (and it does look pretty much like you're after that kind of style?). If you give the game a strong story, then this is going to be a winner, can't wait to see the character you have there develop

I'm doing a similar project right now, so I know that it's full of interesting problems here and there - Inventory (although thats not so hard if you manage to do it right ), dialogs, etc. Let me know if I can provide a little help

It reminds me a little of Grim Fandango and Hotel Dusk, which is a great thing Keep it up, can't wait to see more progress

I hope you find someone to animate the model, as it would be a shame to see this project end (... or end up on another engine, although thats still better than to never see this project). Did you already make tests with the facial animation? (Because, believe it or not, in my project I am also seperating face and model - I once wrote code for a similar behaviour as in Wind Waker, which I could simply use then. I think I am talking too much about my project )

(I love the selfshadowing )

The environment with the character in it, this looks so marvelous!

hehe this whole black/white stuff looks cool. can't wait to see a demo or a trailer or somethin

Great work! the character looks amazing on that environment, love the cartoony B/W look

nice OB, it has a great style to it, i miss the adventure genre, i'd definitely play it because 1. it's an adventure game, 2. it looks like it will be great

Thanks for the comments, and a special thanks to Andvari for helping out with rigging and animation duties. I'm lucky to have these two talented individuals work on the characters, and IMHO, you're the two best modelers around here.

lol i first read "supernintendo" on the sign @_@


Nice shots though, i love the style and a good adventure with 3dgs would be awesome.

You're not the only one who read that at first. Actually your post made me look a second time... *lol* Nice work OrangeBrat. I'd love to see that in motion.

Actually ur the first one who read that
the sign says superintend

i know i know, but on the first time i read supernintendo then i had to re-read to find out it says superintend

Here's the next two. The bottom one has a hat, but it isn't shown.
