Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #17

Welcome to seventeen DevLog for Alaska Gold Fever!


Hello !

In today's devlog number 17 i gonna show you some details about our new townsperson: The Banker ! And also some concept arts of other characters in development ;)

[h2]Banker - the most richest person[/h2]



Pleasure doing business with you! - said no banker ever.
Why in games they are always so... round? :D
Anyway let's take a look at sculpting a pants and shirt.



Time to some trimming! A real man must have a nice moustache ;)



"Give me all yo money! They will be safer with me" :)

The banker guy is another one of the most important persons in Alaska Gold Fever !
You can deposit some money, sometimes sell some gold, get a credit on pickaxe and solve other money-related problems here!
So better be with good relations with the bankster!



But be careful because on the wild Alaska everyone want to made so much money!
So you must be caution of the bandits (it's oblivious) but also on some people in town!
The bankster always wanna make "a good deal" but it wil be a good deal FOR HIM not always for you! So take a calculator and always calculate if his offers are actually it's profitable for you!



[h2]From concept art to 3D model[/h2]



I always love this comparsion! Sure a coat has changed some colors and some details are different but look at his colorful bow tie suit ! It's still there ! :D



[h2]Other characters![/h2]



Concept art of priest ! - generally good guy, helps keeps law and order in town.
He has a brother Matheo. Can't wait for his 3D render and his role in game :D



There are banksters, gold diggers, shopkepeers and even a priest but all settlements needs this guy -
a standard peasant !!
"A connoisseur of extremely dangerous drinks, a fan of sleeping in strange places and getting new bumps.
They say he is not dangerous, but he once told how he defeated a whale only with a cracked bottle."

There will be a lot of those guys in the town, so get used to him :D
Maybe one of them have something cool to say? You will see !

Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #16

Welcome to sixteen DevLog for Alaska Gold Fever!


Hello!
Welcome to the sunny Alaskan enviroment!
Well maybe not that sunny but here where i write this weather is just... "too good" if you know what i mean. Hard to concentrate on snowy Alaskan atmosphere!

In today episode of our devlog i will help you prepare to the adventuring by showing some cool backpack, some concept art and a transition from very old Alaska build to a new one! This one is very interesting, believe me! Okay, grab your lemonade and let's start!

[h2]
Backpack have your back![/h2]



Cool backpack, right? In Alaska Gold Fever you will have limited capacity of items you can hold with you so you need a good backpack!
Here i can show you some process of making it!



Details are important! Here you can see this small details can help making this backpack to "behave" better, more realistic in the game, in motion.



Also don't forget to add some lashes/belts to your character! It gonna stick to the back, right? ;)
I always wonder how some videogame characters stick their sword to their back. How do they do this? It's magnet or something? :D



[h2]First version of Alaska! [/h2]



Just wanted to show you some real progress. Take a look at this very very early version of our game and compare it to the newest version. I believe this first version is like few years old already?



Same place but different time lines :D
We are working hard to deliver you some special game ;)
Here is the proof :D
Making games are really cool thing- you can see a real art in making!

[h2]Concept arts of beautiful and powerfull womans![/h2]

And for the end i gonna show you some concept art of characters! This time some strong indepedent womans!



Our artists describe it something like this: " Polite woman from the village. Nobody knows what she do, but she always have money. Recently she buried her fourth husband :) "
Have some bussiness with her? Better watch out ;)



Adventurer.. but a female one! Strong and beautiful! :) I like this look on her face. It's saying something like "come on, let's do it!" . Can't wait to show you a full 3D model but probably in the next devlog!

You can take care of some of the important task only with him. He is crucial NPC in town!
But more gameplay details later - now let's see him up close!



First some low resolution pics. But they are still awesome, right? ;)



And now a fully detailed model! Even a screenshot was so big that Steam doesn't wanted to upload it, believe me :D
Cool hat! And an old face who saw too many things... I also like this pose! Like he was posing for photoshot :D

Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #13

Welcome to thirteen DevLog for Alaska Gold Fever!



Hello travelers!
Welcome in Alaska!
How are you guys? Hope it's okay!
Today we cover some insights on local fisherman, an animations bloopers and some lightingbolt action in the West! Let's get started!

[h2]Local fisherman[/h2]



"A pike fish is a king of the lakes and rivers as lion is a king of the jungle" - one wise man once said that. Can you agree? This guy is looks like he seen a lot of fishes in his long life. You can ask him for some advices (not only fishy-matter).



Each townsperson in Alaska Gold Fever will have an unique role. Like this fisher-guy you can buy some canned food from him (with fish inside of course) or acquire some fishing rods, equipment, bait etc.



Modeling an unique model for a person is a nice challenge. Just admire these details on the face and head!
In this screenshot a face has a "default" expression, i know it looks kind of funny :D



Also a quick tutorial for all 3D-modelers and artists.
How in one easy step make a zombie out of fisherman?
Just grab a jaw, take it higher and it's finished !! Mr. Zombie is ready to attack !

[h2]Animations bloopers and some action[/h2]



Okay time for some funny stuff ;)
Animating objects is hard and time-consuming task especially a human-looking game objects.
I collected some really weird and funny stuff that "happened" during development ;D You can see it here!



He walks like he doesn't give a damn :D



Well, almost normal? But look closely when he begins to move :D

[h2]Action![/h2]



Okay, we had a laughts but all those bloopers leads us to the fully animated hostile NPC that we are going to use. Here is a short GIF of them in action! Now they got a cool and fluid animations!
Making games are some much fun, believe me ;)
