First devlog of the year, also 100th week. I focused on the dog NPC : made a few animations, the animation blueprint and state machines, and its AI (behavior, *not* LLM or GenAI). Below are the highlights. Animations I made a bunch of animations in Blender. They include the movement, like walking, running, trotting, and also a bunch of idles, some specific actions like […]

I did some experimenting this week Dog model I worked on dog sounds last week. I tried a few different approaches, but in the end I went with real royalty free dog sounds with several filters. Working with Audacity does the job, but it’s slow and lacks real-time effects, so I searched for other DAW software and found REAPER, which did the job well, […]

So I had a bit of a hiatus, for almost 2 months. I am back now to do game dev stuff and work on the project. It wasn’t a break however, it was just a change of projects, focusing on something else. Here’s what I did since last time: Beyond Extent Team Challenge I decided to participate in Beyond Extent’s Team Challenge, to work […]

Another devlog entry! Delayed by a couple days to show the finished project that took most of the time in last weeks : a robot dog character. I was only aiming to finish the highpoly version, But I made the whole thing, and pushed some small tasks to next week. I wanted the dog to look friendly, while also resembling the design of the […]

I delayed this by a day to post my new artwork I just finished. Otherwise it would be empty. I spent a considerable amount installing Windows 11 after an SSD upgrade, debloating, reinstalling other software, setting up backups and SteamDeck build deployment systems again and all that. I broke so many things, including the XBox app, the calculator, and even the photo viewer, but […]

Most of the work these two weeks was on the house interior scene, so I’m just going to post a link with the finished artwork on ArtStation : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/zxGXn6 And that’s all I have to share lol

This week I worked mostly on cloth patterns and made props and worked on the lighting the house interior scene. Cloth Patterns I made a few generic patterns for clothing and I learned how to use Affinity Designer properly. It took a while and it was hard to find references online, but I ended up searching for old pages and local store pages for […]

This week I focused more on making props and a shader for interior. Props There a lot of wooden props, so I made a reusable painted wood smart material and a few patterns to speed up the texturing process without sacrificing quality. Most of the detail is done in textures, so aside from large bumps and imperfections, I can just use beveled cubes and […]

The past two weeks were productive. I’m still working on my portfolio and applying to jobs in addition to game development. Here’s what I did. Rotary Hammer I added another portfolio piece. I always wanted to make power tools because they have intricate shapes and designs. I tried once a long time ago but abandoned it because I was way in over my head. […]
