New Mini-verse storage concept art for my indie game, a container that can fit objects of any size, but stays light weight and easy to move!
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indie #devlog #gameart #ue5 #digitalart #blender #conceptart #digitalart #indieart #gamer #art #procreate #artwork #concept
An opened and closed concept art of a box for a indie game, the box shows a forcefield that objects have to pass through to enter the box. It looks like its made of steel, but with a light blue hue added.

My store in my indie game, you can now order items and they get dropped off by a drone in a box! Progress!

Beginning to work on the store in my indie game as follows.
A. Store auto-populates
B. Some items don't unlock until certain conditions
C. The items get delivered via drone.

I finally have mocked up a concept art for my indie games store UI that I don't hate. Anyone else hate the UI part of Indie-Dev?

First test of ordering things at a kiosk and they get dropped off by a drone in my indie game! Not bad for an initial set-up!

Sometimes I get bored or doing indie game dev and try to redraw Victor from arcane to brush up on my art skills. Gonna post the timelapse in comment if anyone wants to see the process!

Meet Borb! When you order supplies in my indie game someone needs to deliver that supplies. Borb will deliver it with a lack of smile!
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indie #devlog #gameart #ue5 #digitalart #blender #conceptart #digitalart #indieart #gamer #art #procreate #artwork #robot #conceptart
Concept art of a delivery robot for my upcoming indie game 'Life at the End at Borts' The concept art shows an orb shaped robot with a claw attached to its base, and two thrusters on either side of it to help it fly. It has a soft futuristic white look to it, and his emotions seem very apathetic.

I continue to work on concept art for my indie game while relaxing at night. Have two updated zombie concepts.
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indie #devlog #gameart #ue5 #digitalart #blender #conceptart #digitalart #indieart #gamer #3dart #art #procreate #digitalartist #artwork #robot #zombie #art
A before and after concept art of a zombie for a indie game, the new is just a updated more thought out version of the old concept art. A before and after concept art of a zombie for a indie game, the new is just a updated more thought out version of the old concept art.

Using one texture to drive every single muzzle, tracer, and shell in every gun in my indie game. All in one 1024x1023 texture.

Rocket launcher is working! This marks the end of the weapon coding for my indie game, on to refinement, and then the next task!

Fine tuned the Melee and weapon switching code today, the mechanics in this game are finally starting to feel like a proper game!

Finished all the concept art, for the bots in my indie game, today. Check out this incredibly poorly programmed bot family
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indie #devlog #gameart #ue5 #digitalart #blender #conceptart #digitalart #indieart #gamer #3dart #art #procreate #digitalartist #artwork #robot
Concept art of four robots each with a slightly different design. Each robot is the part of a fictional robot family in the indie game 'Life at the End at Bort' Each of them have a different design like speaking, grabbing, shooting, and showing. The robots have a white metallic futuristic sheen to them.

Working on a lot of BTS stuff these days that isn't too fun to showcase, so have 3 more zombie concepts for my indie game.

A little bit more work today on some of the weapons in my indie game! 100% of the textures in the game are hand drawn.

Made some homemade explosions for the grenade, in my indie game, this weekend. Cool to see explosives finally!

Replaced the stand in Muzzle flash with something a bit more readable in my indie game! Maybe just a TAD to big

First character sheet of the 4 playable characters in my indie game! I like to get rough sketches done before diving into the 3d Modelling, as then I have reference!
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indie #devlog #gameart #ue5 #digitalart #blender #conceptart #digitalart #indieart #gamer #3dart #art
4 different hand drawn characters, with descriptions about them written on the drawing, each character is a different color palette, and is a reference to a character that will be playable in the indie game they are in.

Lot of the same, but had to stress test the zombie vaulting with a horde to make sure it really worked in my indie game.

There are 17 zombie types in my indie game, I originally drew quick concepts of each one, and today I spent the morning fine tuning one of them! Meet the spider zombie
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indie #devlog #gameart #ue5 #digitalart #blender #conceptart #digitalart #indieart #gamer #3dart #art
An old and new concept art of a zombie character for a indie zombie game. The zombie has spider like characteristics, and also a description of what features make it stand out against the normal zombie character. The zombie has leathery skin, and it almost feels like its falling off the characters body.

Window entrance code now works for my game! They now enter the window and continue chasing you!

Gotta do a bit more fine tuning to the 3Dmodel! but here is a first look at the basic zombie for my game! I am happy with the progress!
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamer #devlog #ui #ue5 #digitalart #blender #independentdev #unrealengine #indieart #game #gamer #3dart #art #modelling #zombie
A 3D zombie modelled for an indie game. It is a first look of one of the main generic zombie enemies for the game. The Zombie has hand drawn blood, and rigid bumpy modelled skin.

Did more 3D modelling over the weekend, and finished up 4 new guns for the game, here is a finished look at the rocket launcher for my game!
#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamer #devlog #ui #ue5 #digitalart #blender #independentdev #unrealengine #indieart #game #gamer #3dart #art #modelling
Hand drawn textures on a 3d modelled rocket launcher, the style is very cellshaded inspired in its look, with dark lines on the corners, and very popping shades and colors.
