In this quick peek, I’m testing the first animation layer for Lobo’s dialogue system: body animations Next up: facial expressions and lipsync— I'm getting closer to fully immersive dialogue!

All implemented in Unreal Engine 5 🎮 Thanks for watching!

Sneak peek at a new area in Lobo: The Beast Inside! This abandoned guard outpost sits just outside the towering wall—once a line of defense, now a haunting reminder of what was lost. Exploration is risky… but rewarding.

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!

Kikkerstein had a great day 1 at LVL UP EXPO!

If you’re in Vegas, come see us on day 2!

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.

It’s always fun turning loved ones into game characters! This time, I used my brother as the reference for Cristian the Taverner—one of the warm (and slightly grumpy) faces you’ll meet at the local inn. More characters coming soon!!

I use dense forest foliage as a natural boundary to guide player exploration. I created a custom PCG tool that lets me toggle between blockout and final meshes—super useful for jumping between layout and visual testing in gameplay. 

Game Jolt is at LVL UP EXPO with a booth highlighting indie games!

Designing systems is challenging, but making them work together is even harder! Here’s the new UI design for the Dialogue System interacting with the Quest System—assigning new quests, completing old ones—and the Save & Load system recording every step.
