I added Facial Expressions synced with actions using Shape Keys in Blender and Morph Targets in Unreal Engine
... It brings so much life to the character, what do you think?
Next up
No mocap, no actors. Just a solo-dev workflow using facial animations and lipsync to bring dialogue and characters to life in Lobo. AI voices for now, real actors later.
In Lobo, finishers use a dynamic Spectator Camera that finds the best shot in real time. It tests nearby angles, avoids occlusion, and adapts even in tight spaces to keep executions cinematic.
In Lobo, fights aren’t one-note. Go full berserker or stay hidden and use the environment to your advantage. Stealth kills, quiet footsteps, and smart positioning let you choose how to survive.

One of my obsessions in Lobo is giving characters emotions during gameplay, not just in cinematics. Using a simple emotion blend space, I can trigger expressions like anger or fear in real time, even for enemies. Small details, big impact.

Inspired by The Last of Us, Lobo uses gates as progression. Some open only when all lanterns along a path are lit, others are tied to undead guardians. A small valley, packed with lore and history.
In Lobo, I optimize enemy AI with distance-based activation. Only nearby enemies are fully active, keeping performance smooth while encounters stay smart and meaningful.

Quick combat update for Lobo ⚔️ Undead enemies now have subtle zombie-like animations, optional non-gore FX, and arenas that blend naturally into the world using PCG tools. Combat should feel smoother and more readable.
