Two Projects

(Pictured: MATE - Marty's Awesome Text Editor)

 

I'd finally quit my day job to commit to the labor of love. One is a hack n' slash arena, which takes place in a big city. At the moment, I'm using the GTA 2 level as a placeholder. Replacement city will be done using Kenny's Assets. The City Kit (Building and Road) will be eventually be implemented in Blender, once I figure out the rolling issue.

Other project is a super simple text editor. It's so simple that it makes the Window's Notepad looks so advanced. My goal for this was one font, one font size, one theme, simple scrolling. Functionality are open file, save file, overwrite(maybe?), and lastly the "About" window. The text editor is already near done tbh.

Basic Outline

(Credit goes to "Yui Kinomoto" aka arlez80 for the outline)

In other news, I'm redoing all the hairs for all the characters shown. After all that purchase, it really didn't suit my needs. A lot of the hairs couldn't be color adjusted for some reason. One of the characters(second photo from top) was supposed to have blonde/brown hair, but it couldn't be colored other than black. That same character is still in for a long process. Costume is not even his and his looks still needs to be adjusted.

Started days ago for the official first level. Map takes place in the middle of the game as an introduction to the world of this game and most of its factions that surrounds the core story of the game. Model pictured is an untextured bar and back of it is a small parking lot.

 

Trimming Down, Main Characters, etc

 

As the title states that I wanted to trim down the project. By analyzing the project for months,

I felt overwhelmed by it's lengthy contents and reiterating some of the original contents to myself to make sure I wouldn't forget. For now, I'm beginning on a character(pictured) named Alex aka X-Changer(concept name). The previous completed character will be just be an extra and the city as seen in the background will have to be remade completely in Blender, so that way the frames won't have to suffer so much. The city area is actually in the middle of the story, which its location is the edge of downtown. The main reason for that map is that it'll introduce most/all of the main groups in the game, so you'll have a good understand of the villain characters in the game.

Trying out New Styles

 Recently, I was wondering what it would be like to try out a new style and this was the result. It was mainly spatial and materials. The only texture I use was only the eyes. My intention of this was trying to do some kind of classic comic book style.
