Mob, your character design is masterful. If you ever have some free time to put together some tips, suggestions, or anything on character design, I'd love to see them.
Why, thank you. ;D And it's not a bad idea - I think the other tips and tutorials people have posted are very valuable. I've got a ton of crap I've not posted yet, including boss concepts, plus I've recently been doing a lot of character designs for the Community Project that haven't been widely seen. So I could have a go, if people thought it would be of any use...? Thanks for the suggestion.
I like the maren. The faces/masks remind me of the masks worn by doctors in the Black Plague. Was that intentional? Either way, good job on the design!
It wasn't intentional, no... Maybe subconsciously, I dunno. But do I know exactly what you're talking about! ;D Good spot.
:,( I can't play the demo. The Loading bar goes almost to the end but then the loading window disappers? Can someone help me with this. I want to play it! It looks so awesome!
I have no idea what's going on there, mate, sorry.
What does it do? Lock up? Are there any error messages? I don't know why I ask, since I wouldn't have a clue how to fix it... ??? But, the next demo release isn't far off, if that's any consolation...!
Speaking of which, I've decided what I'll be showing for z3. It's what I'll refer to as the 'prologue': the very opening of the actual game, which will be roughly about 15 mins of gameplay depending on how thorough an explorer you are.
Much longer if you want to experience all the effects the day/night cycle have on Hyrule's inhabitants... If that's how you really want to spend your time!
It stops way short of the first dungeon, and even though that's virtually finished, the gap between the two segments is gaping wide. It's intended really just as a taster, since I wanted to put something together for z3 but the remaining amount of time I'd planned for has effectively just been halved, making my original plan impossible. Like I said in my previous post, it's just a nod of thanks to the people who've been supporting me - I will still be putting the intended demo together for as close to August as I can. I'll just post that here when it's finished.
Plus, if time is on my side, I'll be knocking up a short video too, which will demonstrate stuff that happens further in than the prologue goes. Dungeon, horseback-combat etc. the sort of stuff I've only shown in screenshots so far.
Cheers!
