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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted the dog to look friendly, while also resembling the design of the humanoid robots. They are made by the same company in a similar timeline. Here are some renders made with Blender Cycles. I tried to show some of its personality in these renders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And these renders with Unreal Engine, featuring the house scene I made previously, and also in a blockout of the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, I also finished the story outline, basically a “long story short” version( still ~30 pages) summary, with only the important interactions and none of the dialog or slice of life or anything like that. I sent it for beta reading and feedback. I already have a few ideas of things to change, especially the progression of the story, decisions, and how everything leads to the ending(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of games, I playtested Industria II and managed to break it and find glitches and softlocks and collision issues and even sequence skips and “speedrun strats”. It’s fun, I might volunteer to do QA for indie games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I replayed Portal and Portal2 for the developer commentary, it’s always great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried out Demos of Barkour, DogPile, and the Last Caretaker. Dogpile was interesting, Barkour and Last Caretaker aren’t really my cup of tea, but they seem decent so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s all for this devlog. In the coming weeks I might join Beyond Extent’s community challenge, if I qualify. Other than that I only have a few small tasks for the gamedev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
