The beauty of maps... going from 18M polygons to 29K and retaining all the details thanks to the normal, curvature and AO maps. Baked and rendered in Marmoset, modeled and sculpted in Blender, textured in Substance Painter.

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.
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.
After years of development, the first prototype of the transformation is finally working.
Still a lot to polish, but it’s exciting to see it in motion.
Lobo is a narrative driven action game about struggling with the beast inside you.

Happy Devruary! I'm developing my game, Lobo: The Wolf in Me, with Unreal Engine :-) If you love the lore of The Witcher, the gameplay of The Last of Us, and the humor of Monkey Island, this one is for you.
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
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, I use foreshadowing to keep the gameplay rhythm going. A quiet moment, a fallen hunter, and a new weapon you can equip but not use yet, just enough to tease what’s coming next.
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.
