Q: Why does it look so bad?


Short answer: I’m not an artist I’m a programmer
Longer answer: I’m not only not an artist, I also spent most of the time programming
Long answer: I’m not an artist, I have never been very good at making things asthetically pleasing and care more for functionality. That being said I do enjoy pixel art and making sprites. Which is why the menus look like crap but the actual sprites (bar jhin) look fairly decent. Jhin’s looks bad because his body is weird, with his shoulder thing, mask, half cape or whatever and twig arms/legs. I couldn’t find a good pose that would work for him shooting while keeping it distictly Jhin so I did the best I could.

If you’re referring to the walls being weird here’s why:
I saw it in a video that showed it off and I thought it looked cool and I wanted to do that. Have some sort of fake 3d environment that is very clearly not 3d at all. I personally like how it turned out, but a few people have complained about it (less than a 6th of the people who have played it) and no one except me seems to like that style more than the alternative. Should I continue development of this I would likely go through and redo it so it has smooth walls.

Here's a first look at the CactiMage Village! These guys have a good amount of lore and backstory - not going to go into that here though. This is the second area you will visit and where you encounter your first key character!

New Skins + More

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

Path of Kami: The Evolution of the Lore

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
