Ukiyoe style experiment...


Some time ago I started playing with the idea of creating a game in the Japanese ukiyoe style. This is a rough prototype of some of the rendering techniques, but I think it's coming along pretty well!

The aspects of the style I've focused on mimicking so far are:

-Outlines

Just simple hull outlines for now. Using a renderer feature and shader graph to apply this to all objects on a certain layer, so I don't have to worry about making each one manually.

-Paper texture

A screenspace texture applied in a shader graph to all of the elements onscreen through various methods including sub graphs and fullscreen renderer features.

-Color gradients

Using a shader graph to create height-based color gradients for the terrain and a screen space gradient for the skybox.

-Lens Angle

A very tight camera lens angle is used to mimic the lack of perspective in most early ukiyoe.

Next, I'll start working on a new level composition to embrace the 'floating world' aspect of ukiyoe!

I'm thinking that I need to change the art style for this project to something which I can produce and iterate on faster. Which of these two styles for the mech do you like more? Modeled/Rendered in Blender.

Finished the first 3D art pass, finally. I wasn't really happy with the outline at this point, so I've shelved that for now. The lasers at the end are my favorite part right now

Okay, I mean it this time; I'm gonna see this one through...

Wanted to make something my kids can play that isn't all about killing something else. This section will have the player following a wisp through a foggy marsh

Go tell your favorite creators to join Game Jolt and get REKT with love and support! 💓

For inspiration, here's an animation by one of our very own creators, @ElPichon !

working on a new level design, and added a new enemy! these little guys harass the player by scurrying around them and dropping mines

Game Jolt Colors is back!

Draw your OC (or favorite character) in the Game Jolt color palette and post them in the Art realm with the tag #GameJoltColors25.

At the end of the event, we'll pick a winner & add their design to the GJ Colors sticker pack!

Voidstone now includes highly advanced QoL features, like a pause menu!

I'm sure she doesn't mean any harm...

Working on the mech selection in the main menu. One of these will be in the final game.
