Soul Update - A story in evos of time

This is how the 1st week of development have gone since I re-took it.


Images are better than words… sometimes

As I said before I decided to start the development by doing an art prototype instead of a gameplay one because I know 3D will take me more time since, I have to learn new stuffs. For that reason, I have been doing the 3D models prototypes that you see in the images.

Making them as low poly (and good looking) as possible is my main priority so every vertex matters to me. This is because my main goal is that the game can be played even if you have a not too powerful PC or a not too recent smartphone.

The environment is based on how houses and neighborhoods look in my country since I want to show a bit of how the urban life is in here in some way.

What do you think of them?

What’s next?

For the rest of the week I will continue doing more meshes for the character clothes, more environment assets, Tweaking vertex here and there, etc. Then next week I’ll work on textures.

I brought some animations from the asset store so for pre production I’ll use some of them to start working on a gameplay prototype as soon as possible.

Finally

Thanks to the new people that started following the game and also those that have stick around since I posted the project here in 2016!

We are going from left to right. Why? the answer soon. (Don't you think that peeking ear is cute? ) - Limitations: I have to deliver 2 non-game related projects so I'm doing progress but slowly, I work on parts that help me relieve stress from work.

After doing some play-testing at the office, I concluded the following: - The shooting prototype will feel better with normal shooter movement. - The "Moral system" is engaging but needs more options. - 3rd person view feels good for exploration.

The prototypes build is ready and I was preparing a video for that post but I got a call today for a meeting tomorrow and I have to prepare some info TT_TT ... I'll post it tomorrow !

Today I tweaked a little bit the face (Pic 1) and tested a few animations (gif). I was in an event from work so I couldn't progress that much but I want to have a better prototype build before February ends. See you soon! #shooter #anime

Lack of updates due to: - An event. (Pics) - Signed a contract to develop an app (ends July). 2 more apps in the queue - Improving and porting Void in the Sky (https://gamejolt.com/games/void-in-the-sky/406864) for PC and ??? (requires less time) - Still working on Soul Update

Paper prototype for the Leveling system based on a moral one finished! Unfortunately I can't share it since it is on paper, but tomorrow I'll start working on the digital one for the shooting part and if there is time this week I'll include this one on it

I just finished the shooting part. I'll try upload this prototype and the paper one I did so I can receive feedback early. This are gameplay prototypes which means: It should feel engaging even with placeholders. Aesthetics come after it feels fun.

1st Digital prototype... almost finished.. due to "The genius" that crashed into an electricity pole near the office and I had to work on the prototype until 1 am :). Shooting is the only thing missing (Dash, aim + ray cast done). Will share it this week

Quick note: - I had an issue with animations but it got solved. (For prototyping) - I just delivered a project for a client. I'm working on a boring but useful app for another client. I won't be able to post frequently (gotta pay the bills). #shooter

Instead of using the 3D model of a future game of mine (Last gif) I'll use this placeholder (more personalized) that shows the feel I'm trying to communicate in the game. I tried VRoid for 1 1/2 hour and I think I can use this model for prototypes
