It has been a while. 

Little tribute to a game I really like.

Flash game!

And I believe I finished my flash game! I still need to do my evaluation about it, but I can do it tomorrow at college.
It took me quite some time, and it has a few bugs. I couldn't fix a couple of things, and I wasn't capable of making a certain movement for my character... but except for that, it's working. And it looks alright!
I also downloaded some sound effects and a little soundtrack. The effects are from http://www.flashkit.com.
The soundtrack is from http://dig.ccmixter.org, and the author is 7OOP3D (http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/7OOP3D/29126). With his music (which is free for non-commercial projects), the game is super cool!

Ok: this should be the link for the playable game:

My Super Cool Game

....Eeeenjoy! <3

Zbrush! FMP, almost there!

There we go. It's not textured and it won't be. It took me around four days to get it done, but I'm quite satisfied with the result. It's my real first attempt to create a 3D human model with ZBrush, and I believe it came out quite right. I started from one of my concept:

The first on the left; I asked for feedback to a bounce of my friends, and between all Rubenka's costumes, this one apparently was the favourite. This is the reason for which I picked it up. Luckily for me, it's not one of the most difficult one - except maybe for the scarf.
When it came to do the the boots, I had a few problems, and I couldn't recreate all the straps (the software crashed, and I decided to do just one for each boot).
I'm still really new to the software, and I don't know yet all the tricks and tools, so I bet that the next time I will be able to do better; but as a first attempt, I like it.

Now I should have a little bit of everything, for my game. I have a story, a 3D level, a 3D character, lots of character concept art, a couple of environment concept and few sketches. I have a bit of GDD and some plans for the advertising campaign (with a work in progress website to promote the game, and where I might put the Flash game I'm going to create in the next few weeks: http://aldenhargreavis.altervista.org/prova_fff/index.html  - I haven't create the website, just the concept for it; it's my friend's work).

4 days to FMP

Spent the morning on the 3D model again, I've finished the face, not the hair, thought. I hate the hair, take note. Maybe I'll go tomorrow and look for a room to do some extra work.

On the afternoon I've done Ryu's concept:

At the beginning I didn't plan for him to have tattoos (there won't be any description about tattoos, for Ryu, in the Character's bio I wrote for the Narrative assignment). But while I was drawing I thought that it actually kind of make sense. He would be the tattoo type; I designed the tattoos to be tribals, but also have some sort of religious type of look. I think of Ryu as a very religious character (even if his religion would be a minority, in Yevinon society). His Goddess, as I imagine, would be an evolution in time of Hindu's Kalì and other female deity; his faith in a female Goddess is kind of opposed to his acting quite sexist.
Anyway, there we go. Almost done with stuff. Yeppe-ya-yee~

Progresses - 5 days to FMP

Today I did a lot on the 3D model. Actually more than I expected, since it was the first time I was using ZBrush properly. I started on a model done on 3ds Max and used mostly the Clay brush, a bit of Smooth, Move and Standard; I also used another one, I think it was called "Level", to add some material to create the hands (the model I built in Max wasn't enough, for hands).
I didn't made a stamp of the work I've done this morning, I hope tomorrow I can finish of the face and hair and maybe start with the clothes. If I can do that, I'll be able to finish the model by Thursday. If not, I'll go to college an extra day on Wednesday, eventually, and get the job done. Even if I'd rather use Wed to do another environment concept.
In the afternoon I finished Ven's concept.

I shall move on to Ryu's, now. I also did a little change on the blog's title. I thought it was better a little restyling, since my hair grow longer. And this lil' me is more colorful.
