Alaska Gold Fever News

Hello travelers!

Welcome in Alaska!
Whoa! Long time no see!
Without further delay:
Let's get down to business! ;)

[h2]Terrain and day/night cycle[/h2]



Now we have a special tool in Unity3D and I can play with the day/night cycle however I want!
Let me show you some results!
What was there first? A day or a night? Ask your local philosopher ;)

The basics of any survival game:
day - safe
night - not safe



[h2]More characters![/h2]



Bartender!
A guy who knows everything because ... he listens to everyone!
You can tell him anything you want! Your dog is sick? Your wife is acting strange? Or maybe you met a yeti in the Alaskan woods? He will listen to you and give you a juicy "potion" to drink!

He looks like kind of Thor from the new God of War :D
Maybe they are related? Or Thor gave up his godhood and became a bartender in Amercia?



I love this little "terrain" on these 3D models! They look like some Warhammer 40k figures :D
Is there any "Alaska" board game? Or something similar (survival/winter/America)
If you know of one, let me know! I will try it out!



And i wasn't complaining! ;)

Who is this mysterious figure?
I can not tell you ;0
But he will be very important for the story!



[h2]Main menu on Alaska! - meat and fishes[/h2]



It's not 100% done yet, but this will probably be used for the main menu.
You know, menus on the left and something on the back!
We will add some more boxes, ropes, water drops from the ceiling and maybe a man with a pickaxe :D
Do you have any other ideas? Tell us in the comments!

[h2]Concept art![/h2]

Please grandson, eat the meat, you can leave the potatoes

Old woman from the shop!

In our 2D artist's words:
"She is always very happy when someone visits her shop, because she loves to test her new baked (!) goods on customers. After work, she often pops in for a glass of something stronger with hes old wrinkled friends. Sometimes she goes to church for fun."

[h2]Alaskan short videos?![/h2]



Who is he???
Our graphic designers like to play with 3D models :D and this sometimes brings forth wonderful ideas!

"In the perfect world men like him do not exist, but this is ot a perfect world!"

More of him and other funny stuff from Prison Simulator and Alaska on our official
TikTok account!

Hello travelers!

Welcome in Alaska!
Whoa! It's already 20 episode of this series?
How are you enjoying those devlogs?
Tell me in comments ;) i can always improve something!

In today's episode we will take a clsoer look at smith in town and some buildings - one of them is the most important one in whole game! (can you guess?)

[h2]Mr and Mr Smith[/h2]



First the concept art - as usual.
I showed it earlier in previous devlogs but here is the "updated" version with details on his trusty glove!



He looks menacing, right?
I really like this mini-showcase: with terrain and going around :D

[h2]Wear protective clothes for hard work![/h2]



Let's see some details about making clothes in Blender!
It can be fun, trust me ;)



I like how it falls :D
It's important that specific piece of cloth has specific behavior - it's easier to aplly it on human model later.



[h2]Don't drink while working![/h2]



It happen that while working on smith our graphic has also worked on some "potions".
I think it's a nice oportunity to show them! :D



See those details on label! It's worth checking! Is anybody ever check those stuff in games?
Like, look at every object how it is made or is it in high resolution? :D I sometimes do!



Alaskan Finest Beverage - Don't do it at home kids!

[h2]Buildings [/h2]


Remember John?
It's him! He is a decent guy who owns a public bathhouse!
He is just a concept art (for now) and he lives in 2D world!
But his bathhouse is in 3D and very real!



A view from different ankles.
And also from interior!
Buliding is ready and it goes straight to the game ;)
You can relax here and sometimes hear some gossip.



Oh , and at the beginning i said about the most important building in town
You know what is it?
A saloon!!
It's also ready, see how it became a 3D model from concept art ;)



And there a question actually - some devs in our team said that it has too many flowers at the front. (it's true that concept art has it fewer)

What you think? Tell us in comments! A saloon with Alaskan Beverage or a florist shop?
Should we change that?

Hello travelers!

Welcome in Alaska!
Today we will learn some interesting facts! Not only from our upcoming game but also from human history!
Who are Innuits ?
As Wikipedia states:
Inuit are a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic and subarctic regions of Greenland, Labrador, Quebec, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Alaska. Inuit languages are part of the Eskimo–Aleut languages, also known as Inuit-Yupik-Unangan, and also as Eskaleut.
Inuit Sign Language is a critically endangered language isolate used in Nunavut.

Pretty interesting !
I really recommend checking other articles of Innuits on other sites ! You can find it in web for free!
We also have an interesting book about it but we will show title only on our Twitter account, check it out :)

So today i gonna show you some details about making an young Innuit's woman from concept art to 3D model !!

[h2]Concept first!![/h2]



Concept art first of course ;)
Nice and colorfull !
Our graphic team have done some research on those people to better exhibit them in media !
Details are important!

[h2]Body and soul[/h2]


"My body on monday"
Just kidding! I love my job ! :D

First shaping a body. Most humanoids creatures ( like, well... uh, humans) have the same body shape so it's standard procedure ;) Making a troll or orc is much harder !!!
You can play with this 3D body on it's own, sometimes funny glitches appear ;)



Interesting stuff about making a more complicated clothing ( a robe or coat in this in this case )
First you gonna make a "patterns" in 2D and then well add them to the model. Sounds weird i know, just look at the GIF and you will see what i mean :D

[h2]Legwear[/h2]



Boots,shoes - some philospher once said that is the most important piece of wardrobe a human can wear. It measure where you live (warm or cold climate) and what you do (expensive boots or poor boots). Are you agree with that?

See a details of fully rendered boots here


[h2]Face and hair[/h2]



When i first saw this material about teeth i was like "whoah!!"
These teeth really creeped me out ! ;D



Here we can see some face and hairs from different ankles!



Oh, and don't forget about some little but important details!
This spear was specifically shaped to resemble an real ones that Innuits was using.



Almost ready ;) She looks really cool !
So what will be her role in the Alaska Gold Fever?
I can't tell :D But important NPC is important NPC !



[h2]More devlogs coming soon![/h2]



Every garage sale be like:
"I got this old pants for sale and they are worth 8 $ "

More stuff about Alaska coming soon ! Next time some info about these beautiful props!

Hello travelers!

Welcome in Alaska!
Today i gonna show you some new characters and they jobs in Alaska!

[h2]Gold digger - female !
[/h2]


It is you?! Or maybe some other gold seeker in town :D
Everyone has that one friend who always choose a female characters in RPG, right :D



From concept art to 3D model. Looks nice , right? But she miss a pickaxe...

[h2] Shopkeeper - to keep your shops ;)[/h2]



Remember him from previous devlogs? Here is his concept art.
As name suggest he runs a shop. You can buy here this and that.
It's important to use what mankind can offer and buy some canned food or kerosene lamp!
You don't need to gather food and supplies only in Alaskan wilds and forests ;)



First concept art, then some raw meshing in 3D and later a textures etc. Do you like his beard? Bankster moustache was cooler ;) Check in previous devlog!

[h2]Details on 3D models[/h2]



Let's see some details on 3D models. Details on characters are things that stands out.
It's important in design to give something unique to the character!
It can help to better remember this person ;)



A cane and a sack of gold. I like how this cane have some frightened wolfie on base 3D model and later it turn out to this angry and dangerous wolf :D



Sack of gold ! Yeah, gold. Or just copper coins? You will never know because shopkeeper keeps his sack very close to him and won't show you how much he have!
He says he constantly have no money on this business but yet he keeps buying new horses and
beard-trimming stuff... hmm...



[h2]Character's roles[/h2]

Don't do that in real life! Give only good food for every dog you can ;)


Remember - in town you can talk to almost everybody. Talk is cheap (often for free).
You can deal businesses with shopkeeper. But he can probably have some quest for you too!
Try to earn his trust so maybe he will give you better prices! (probably not gonna happen)

A traveler or other gold seeker can give you good advices about gameplay (did they know they are in game?!) so speak up!



I also wanted to show you this. A concept art for Inuits. They will be in game and it's very cool to have some original characters like them! Can't wait to see a 3D model in action :)
In real world history they are interesting people, i recommend to read something about them and their culture!
