Gears are shifting closer towards production and getting core assets ready. The characters are being tested and designs are polished. All in the effort to finally put everything together in engine and build the actual game.
There was a lot of testing and planning happening for the animations of characters. Apart from that I got to work a bit more on the test level and giving some direction for the art assets. There's a new built of the game to try out, but still in the same test environment.
This week I continued the texturing tests for the environment, mainly the creek bed and water surfaces. I blocked out the willow tree and assembled a test environment to figure out which kinds of procedural terrain modeling we need (more on that next week)
This week I split my time between making new scanned textures, so that new environment assets can continue happening and starting to give feedback on some that already exist. I also provided some mouthshapes for Pinda so that animators can mess around with them already for animation testing. Also some paper dog fur was hung to dry and be attached soon!
