Finally bringing the player character to life! In this quick video, I’m showcasing the first implementation of the actual character model, complete with clothes and gear using the inventory and equipment system. Exciting to see things coming together!

Here’s a quick look at the second animation—facial expressions and lipsync, created using iClone  and Unreal Engine. 

Each character’s expression is tied to the tone of the conversation, building on the body animation layer shown earlier.

A first look at the eerie Dead Forest in Lobo. To navigate the thick, cursed fog, you’ll need to find and light ancient lanterns—but beware… the trees aren’t the only things that are dead.
