Mostly just trying to get the Redtree area detailed up this week. So far I've been sticking to the roads and main areas. I moved the player start to a bit north of Redtree and dropped Nyth (from the old tutorial content) along the path. I need to go through and check her dialogu...

First pass on the shroom textures and their low poly meshes. I'll drop a few in the map but they won't be rigged or animated in the next build. But hopefully they will be soon!
I did a pass on the transformation potions. Fixed some of the bugs, added the ability to randomi...
2024-02-28 23:09:43 +0000 UTC View PostJust poking my head in - I'm not going to have internet again until the end of the month! But I'll be home and on my work PC again too! So I'll respond to any messages or anything once I get home.
Just wanted to check in super quick. I'm still out traveling around, seeing the sights, meeting people, drinking all the coffee.
But I'm also chipping away at content for Feign! It's been a little hit or miss working on the train or on a bus though. I can...

I'm going to try something a little bit different this week. Over the years as I've been learning game development I've always relied heavily on free resources and I get the impression that some of those resources are drying up. I figured I'd try giving something back and also give pe...

Happy Holidays everyone!
I started adding in a few farm critters to the game. They aren't properly animated yet but I'm going to set up some spawn points and have them sliding around the map in the next build.
I'm still working on a basic detail pass around Redtree and hooking ...

Started adding Redtree content back into the map. I moved things around a bit to hopefully work better with the flow of the landscape. I'm hoping to get the major vendors setup and get the tavern interior hooked up for the next build. I need to do a proper art p...

Still a LOT of wip stuff in this build. Not quite as bad as the last one but be prepared for graybox placeholder assets and bugs!
New in this build:
Lol, I'm so terrible at numbering versions.
New build is up!!!
I'm trying out a new file host so let me know if you run into any issues!!!

Just a quick heads up I'm going to be away next week visiting family for the holiday. I'll have my laptop with me but won't have as much development time for Feign. Hopefully I can get through some of the dialogue trees and writing.
So onto the update!
I started dro...

Working on a bunch of stuff right now!
There's the miner's outfit zbrush sculpt that still needs a quick detail pass and then can go to the low poly stage.
There's the gray block outs for the main buildings in the swamp town. &...

I'm changing over the billing to the subscription model on Patreon. Which means:

Be sure to read the build notes before grabbing this one!!!
2023-10-26 23:48:09 +0000 UTC View PostIf you're currently a patron you won't get charged at the beginning of October. New patrons still get charged when they first sign up though I think.
Still waiting for things to settle down so I can get back to work on Feign.
2023-09-28 18:39:26 +0000 UTC View PostJust a crazy week. Waiting to get some day job stuff sorted out. I'll be back as soon as I can!
2023-09-22 00:40:46 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick update this week. I'm trying to clean up the last animation pieces, the environment work, and any major bugs that pop up during my play tests.
With the save system currently anything in the over world or outside of buildings that the player drops from their invento...
2023-09-13 23:40:25 +0000 UTC View PostWith all the play testing I've been doing it becomes super obvious how much it sucks not to have your progress or actions save in the game. On an abstract level I understood this but kept thinking that since it's so early in the development process that it wouldn't be too bad. Hah. &n...
2023-09-06 01:04:51 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick note. I'm really close to being able to put out a small build but between the day job and the hurricane it's not looking good for this week.
So I'm going to pause the payments for September and they'll resume again in October. I think any new Patrons will still get ...
2023-08-28 23:32:24 +0000 UTC View PostI'm trying to get Feign in a playable state. It's still going to be rough around the edges but I want the foundation to at least be solid and fun. Which means I've been trying to play the game like a player and not a developer. Normally I spot check things, load the map in the e...
2023-08-20 20:33:11 +0000 UTC View PostI'm trying to maintain a steady flow of work and balance between Feign and the day job now. It's a little bit shaky but I'm making progress on Feign at least!

2023-08-13 20:25:05 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, about the sporadic updates... the day job has been chaotic and my sleep cycle is a complete mess right now. I'm evaluating different options to get things back on track.
But I've been crunching the last few days on Feign trying to catch back up! The swamp town is roughed ...

Finally got some time to work on this outfit again. There's a fine detail and grunge pass that I'd like to do but I think the broad strokes are in place.
Now I need to set up the rigging and body types.
The frog dungeon writing is underway and I'm trying to steadily chip ...

The jump to Unreal 5 and the world partition system has come with a few speed bumps along the way. Instead of the old system (and its headaches) of managing individual levels and loading / unloading them for interiors and exteriors. Now I'm loading and unloading layers that are all in...

The outfit is starting to come together. I still want to do another detail pass on this to add more stitching and patches to really sell that it's worn and falling apart.
I've also been chipping away at the frog dungeon. The throne room has been blocked out and I'm workin...
2023-05-25 22:46:33 +0000 UTC View PostDay job stuff has been kicking my ass this week. So I'm a little behind on stuff for Feign. I did get a bit more sculpting done on the inquisitor costume and should hopefully have the sculpt done next week.
I also worked a bit more on the swamp town detailing pass. I rewor...
