Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #29

Hello travelers!

In today's devlog we will talk about a new town's inhabitant and how he was made!




In our game, Alaska Gold Fever, we wanted to create a realistic and immersive experience of living in a gold rush town in Alaska during the late 19th century. One way we are doing this is by populating the town with NPCs that players can interact with.



In this devlog, we will focus on the creation of one such NPC, a town inhabitant character.
He doesn't have a name !! (yet)

We started by thinking about what kinds of people would live in a gold rush town in Alaska. We wanted the NPCs to be diverse and representative of the time period. After some research, we decided on creating a town inhabitant character who is this middle-aged man.



Once we had a concept for the NPC, we began designing him.
We started by creating a list of characteristics that would make him unique like a cap, a moustache, a pouch (with gold in it???!).





Such details can make a diffrent! Always try to make a NPC who have something unique.
You can see here a details about amking a leather pouch!
Is he using it for carrying gold around? Or just some random seeds from the forest?
Or is it just empty ? ;(



In making a character you have to think about some things that will behave accordingly like in the real world.
You know, like hair, long coats etc.
It's important! If not characters will be very stiff, especially if they gonna move.







You can use a basic head shape with some wrinkles already built-in in Bledner but the fun is to make it own and unique ;)

There is a lot of filters and complicated stuff!



Ever wanted to try 3D-modeling?
It's hard but really rewarding!
I hope these devlogs made you interested in it :D
So go ahead and give it a try. It might just be the most fun you'll have all day!
