Starting to look like something!

Ooga booga! @re-markable and I have been working for a couple of hours now. We have a pretty good idea of what we want to achieve and have both started on our personal tasks. He's doing the development while I'm doing the art/3D-modelling. Because we're making our game about a Hawaiian tribe, I have modelled some tribespeople. I'm very happy with how they've turned out, since I have very little experience with working in 3D. Now that our characters are done, I'll have to start working on the other assets, like trees, houses, etc.

Glitter and Glamour

For the past hour or so I have been working on my first custom particle system. I wanted to create something that looked like a fiery well, and I hope I got that across. @re-markable

This actually looks okay

A few hours into the second day for me and @re-markable and it's actually starting to look like a game. I have added houses, trees and a campfire, while Mark has made some amazing animations and wrote out parts of the gameplay we were missing. We now have a very clear idea of what we want the game to be and I think we can make something awesome here!

Animated particles!

I tried to make animated particles for the first time and I'm pretty happy with the result! Also, doesn't our island look awesome?

3 hours left!

With just a few hours left, I have made my very first custom shader for the water and the foam. Meanwhile, @re-markable is making sure that all of our code is working. Lastly, we will be recording some sound effects in the garage.

Kaumaha is playable!

After a lot of stressfull mouse clicking around the time of the deadline, we managed to upload our LDJam entry, Kaumaha. However, it was still a bit buggy. @re-markable has spent the past day fixing bugs and moving the game from HRDP to LRP. Thanks to that, the game is now fully functional and playable online! This is my first time joining Ludum Dare and I had an amazing time. The community is so active and as I'm typing this I see how comments and feedback on our game keep appearing. I am very greatful for all the amazing feedback we're getting. I loved playing around with 3D models and had a lot of fun working on our UI and soundtrack. And thank you @re-markable for your amazing animations, code and patience! I hope to be joining the next Ludum Dare as well!

My first stylized tree ^^

Yesterday ended with us throwing away our whole idea and... starting with nothing. We now have a solid concept though, and I made my first stylized asset ever using Maya, ZBrush and Substance Painter. Very happy with how it turned out, can't wait to make more!

Another one!

I'm not very fast, but I'm learning a lot! Here's another asset I just made, I feel like I'm improving enormously! :D

Just started and need some input!

Just started the gamejam with my boyfriend @re-markable on his birthday! First time doing a gamejam in our own apartment and I'm super excited!

We're making a game about a firefighter and I thought I'd ask for some input here. We have settled on what his face should look like, but I still have several different options for the body. Please tell me which one you like the most!

Water Shader

Love focussing some more on VFX with this jam! Fire shader was the first shader I ever made and was from a tutorial. This water shader is the second one I ever made and I made it without a tutorial! Let me know what you think!
