If you were interested in this game, sorry not sorry but I'm going to shelf it here as I've had a lil revelation about my gamedev experience - I've taken on a project WAYYY too big for my level of experience! O_o

I'll be taking on something much more suitable over at @stanleysclimb.bsky.social!!

I rigged the rest of Ian and fixed the leg proportions
here's some renders of him in 3 different poses

#indiedev #indiegame #solodev #indiegamedeveloper #indiegamedev #indiedeveloper #pvegames #pve #blender3d #b3d #spacegames #robot #render
Ian standing with his hands down by his sides, his fingers curled inwards slightly and his head turned to his left (our right). Ian sitting in a butterfly position (knees outward, feet together) with his hands on his knees and his head turned towards us. Ian in a running-like pose with his feet far apart, his upper body bent forward, his arms bent, his fingers curled and his head turned towards us. previous, but he's not looking at us and it's from a different angle

a rendered image of ian at the right side, looking to his left (our right) with an out-of-focus drawing of Mars slightly offset behind him, the rest is a black background a work-in-progress image of Ian's entire finished model and armature, with his arms bent. all the names of the armature bones are visible, but the bones for the legs aren't named correctly and the feet don't have any bones yet.

mmm mechanical rigging, lookin good
not entirely sure about the colour scheme, but it'll all get a final polish anyway, so i won't worry about that now

#indiedev #indiegame #solodev #indiegamedeveloper #indiegamedev #indiedeveloper #pvegames #pve #blender3 #b3d #spacegames #robot
the same arm from the quoted post but with fingers this same time, bent at the elbow with the hands and fingers curling inward slightly previous, but from a different angle

revised the game like two days ago, now I got plans for visible upgrades!!!

#indiedev #indiegame #solodev #indiegamedeveloper #indiegamedev #indiedeveloper #pvegames #pve #blender3d #b3d #spacegames #robot

(if you saw this post before, no you haven't, I TOTALLY didn't forget the tags yesterday)
IAN'S head, now with less polygons (head tier 1) previous, but with a black crest vertically across the head (head tier 2) previous, but with two more crests, one on either side of the black crest (head tier 3)

Been doing mostly story work since the last post, but I made a big design and modelling change on Ian aka ND70 (as seen in the elbow) + alternate colouring

#indiedev #indiegame #solodev #indiegamedeveloper #indiegamedev #indiedeveloper #pvegames #pve #blender3d #b3d #cosmichorror #spacegames #robot
Ian's (aka ND70's) forearm, but now the elbow is a hinge and the colouring goes from green to black as it goes towards the hand

Ian's model is done!! I'm really happy with this, might rig it tomorrow and post some poses, if not then the day after that

IAN, but now he has hands and feet (see quoted posts for detailed description) same as previous but from another angle same as previous but from another angle same as previous but from another angle

progress!! just needs his hands and feet, and then rigging but that's easy

#indiedev #indiegame #solodev #indiegamedeveloper #indiegamedev #indiedeveloper #pvegames #pve #blender3d #b3d #cosmichorror #spacegames #robot
a work-in-progress of IAN's fingers (all except for thumb), each of them consisting of 3 green metal parts that are connected with flexible black material same as previous, but from another angle a work-in-progress of IAN's body. compared to the previous work-in-progress post, in which he had nothing except for a head and a torso, IAN now has everything except for hands and feet. just like his fingers, IAN is segmented into several green metallic parts with black flexible material that connects said parts to each other. same as previous, but from another angle
