Would it be possible to add a tiny bit of length to women's sweatshirts?
No?
Great. Thanks for always keeping my wrists a perfect ice cold temperature.

I've been working out a lot while on break and I thought I'd continue the tradition of just showing my right arm on social media but I'm a little proud so have the slightly visible abs too. (Don't look at the biceps and forearms. I'm on it😭)
Also I'll finally return to gamedev next week🎉✨💖

Congrats on the 400 and that seriously cool banner animation🎉 Also thanks for hosting the art share😊
I'm Chappu, a solo dev working on a horror game with handpainted textures. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like in engine and some texture detail shots of my 3D models

I'd personally go with one shade for the bushes cause there's already quite a lot going on on screen. I made a quick overpaint to test some colors and I think just darkening the green a bit is already enough to give it some contrast and make the gameplay elements pop more. (First image is your OG)

Updated pinned post as there's so many new faces here so hello everyone!
I'm Chappu and I'm a solo dev working on a handpainted third person horrorgame about an all girls ghost club.
This is what it currently looks like in engine and below you'll find my gamedev recap of everything I've made so far

Were you getting bored of my three trees and the ground plane? No problem as I've finally managed to get Makena's room into the engine.
Hope you like the comfy atmosphere. Surely nothing bad will happen.
Also flowy dithered curtains hello?

It's my birthday today so I thought I'd make a recap of all the #gamedev I did since last year. Also I heard I get to wish for reposts today?😶🌫️
Backing track is new music I made for the game.

I don't have much for today. Refined some facial expressions, finished her upper body textures and her body rig. Now it's only the hair and shoe textures left and she's ready to go into #cascadeur for animating.

Not too sure new girl approves of my rigging skills.
Pretty much done with her lower body rig. Messed up the arms along the way as shown below😅
Also spent half a day on a screaming blendshape and it's by far the hardest facial expression.

If it's normals sometimes it's only obvious after export. I added an image for if you want to check it yourself. Whenever something doesn't work it's often either flipped normals or not applying the scale. On that note, did you apply the scale of your mesh? (select mesh -> cntrl +a -> scale)

If I stop responding I died of heatstroke cause it's been 30°C INSIDE my apartment for the last three days.
While I melt I thought I'd share another old clip.
Lots of WIP stuff in here but I realized most of you haven't even seen what Makena looks like in engine.

I often feel like less of a gamedev cause I'm that classic art person "just" making a horror walking sim.
I'm trying to learn how to make other systems in a silly study project too now so that's helped a bit.
Look I can plant metal spheres and make a stick explode🤦

Kinda felt like resharing Makena's car cause I think most of you haven't seen it but also I should actually finish the dashboard at some point.
(absolutely didn't get inspired to reupload because of the wonderful car models @neutronio.games is making👀)

Ok I do not in fact have any fun gamedev to show for today and the mermaid is also back cause I didn't have time for a new animation either😭
But I thought I'd continue with sharing music at least.
Have this snippet of a song that has lyrics but in this part it (thankfully) doesn't.

All head textures finished. I might either continue with the shirt or rig her cause I want to find out if that hair will be a nightmare or not. But look at her beaming😊
Second picture is a photo she'd be taking of herself. Made me a little happy😅

Hair is about 70% done and I already never want to do this again😅
Also there's no translucent or clipped textures on the hair. It's all just painted in. Don't know if it'll work in different lighting but if it does that would be neat.

Also are you annoyed by these micro updates yet?
Well gamedev is pain so I hope you're really feeling how slow this grind is.
