Still tinkering away with redoing the animations. I lost some time as I couldn't get animated custom properties to export at all. So I ended up applying them to extra bones and wrote a post process script to convert them to animator variable tracks. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender #unity3d

i had some thoughts about timed aiming in my platformer game so i kinda low key fixed it. it has a logic of: tap to snap to target hold to stop time and pull out a setsquare red/green was supposed to predict if the pin will be in grapple range but work like 8 times out of 10

Walk and Run Cycles done. Will need to make a spreadsheet to track all of the animations I need to do. Also I removed the quiver as it just looked too big on her back. Perhaps I'll make her pluck her hair to form arrows.. 🤔 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender #unity3d

angel essence is releasing tomorrow!! i'm so excited :')

It's gotten cooler over here which means I finally have energy to work on the animations for the new model. First up is a WIP walk cycle. Quite happy with the lower body. Just gotta refine her toes and then do the upper body... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender #unity3d

Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Doriane, I make games with my partner and draw stuff (mostly Zelda related)! 🌱 If you like cute hand drawn games with a nostalgic feel, this might be for you! 🌻

All textures are finally finished. Just need to fix a small shader bug with the realtime shadows and then on to updating the animations. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender #unity3d

Almost finished the specular mask texture (sub arms still need finishing). Made a quick shader test to see what it looks like in engine. Extremely happy with this new style. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender #unity3d

i modeled annelisse 🪱👽 unfortunately, the arm rig doesnt work very well for many necessary movements due to the weird anatomy (and my lack of experience), so i dont think theres much i can do with this model. worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

I had to reformat my PC due to a disk error that crashed my PC 100% when a file tried to be read... So that was a wasted day with backing up etc... All fixed now and so I finished Eris's body textures. Just equipment and specular to go. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Began working on the textures. So much nicer to paint bolder lines. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Just some test poses showing off the main reason I gave Eris a full set of opposable toes on her feet. I'd like her to be able to interact with things with her feet in addition to her hands, like opening chests and even attacking with her sword. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Almost finished with her equipment. Just need to refine the bow form and remodel the scabbard. Also contemplating putting the quiver on her back next to the scabbard instead of on her waist. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Rig is ready and working. Now to redesign/model her equipment (shield, sword & quiver) to match the new look. I also shortened her arms ever so slightly as I realised they looked too long in an idle pose. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

I've posted this design, but I don't -think- I've posted it with this colourscheme on bsky before? If I was going to redesign it, that little sensor array on the manubrium would be an eyeball for sure.

Rig weighting complete. Just the IK/FK setup to go. Another part of Eris's redesign is to give her four digits to match her hands. Whilst she walks, the outer two are curled up. Small detail, but I liked the idea of it. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Finished the body mesh and now working on an updated rig based on my past learnings. One feature I never showed off before that was also present in the previous model is that she has extra claws on her body (mostly for idle animations). #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Those Feathers…

Her body is almost fully complete. Just her back sub arms and equipment to model now and then to rigging/texturing. So happy with how she has turned out. The bolder black lines are much easier to work with compared to the fine detail of her old model. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Nearly finished the torso mesh. She is getting quite spiky. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Finished the block out and did a second pass on the orthographic drawings to refine the details/shapes. Now to properly model the mesh. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Uploaded a quick showcase of my environment art work on Hypogea to artstation :) Might do another post at some point for the animation / tech art stuff www.artstation.com/artwork/1Nd2dq

Hypogea - Environment Art, Charlie WAGNER

Some of the 3D Environment art I did for Hypogea (2025). Hypogea is an atmospheric 3D platformer I solo-developped in Unity. The game is available here : https://s.team/a/2980260/ Levels were a mix o...

Finally found the energy and motivation to begin modelling the new design. Modelling this one from scratch, starting with the side silhouette (hence why the front looks strange). This is just a block out which I will then refine from. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Slowly hacking away at the orthographic drawings. Happy with the side profile. Forcing myself to use a thicker brush is definitely helping (by preventing her from getting too detailed). Just the front and arms to go and then to modelling tomorrow. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Finished her feet. I added two extra toes that are curled back whilst she is walking/running. I plan for her to uncurl them and use all four digits whilst wall running/climbing. She will still have her back limbs, but will draw those when I work on the orthographic drawings.

Refined the design a bit more in the direction I'm after. Essentially I'm going for less segmentation and detail across the board so that I can mass produce other character designs more easily. So far I like it this new look. Just need to finish the feet... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Have been ill for like 2 weeks + we had a heatwave here so I have struggled to find any energy. I did however spent some time experimenting with tweaking Eris's design (again), to have more alien proportions, but also simplify her details for easier mass production down the line. Nothing final yet.

Last wall run related update. Added support to wall run moving/rotating surfaces. Climbing also works on such surfaces too. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Added the ability to enter wall run from a free climb and vice versa. With that the wall run logic is finally complete. Does need animations to provide the feeling of momentum, but this will do for now. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
