I was thinking about newspapers and that's when I came up with this new brick shader. 📰

SuperDoomKing

Do you know those cartoon where characters or objects get flat patterns to represent detail?
It's something I liked to use when I still did pixel art.
I thought it would be fun to take that idea and turn it into a hair shader. 👩
It's a very subtle way to make my character feel more 2d in a 3d world.

i don't mean to diss the art style if its a design choice:
why are the arms outlined and not the other flesh tones, like her face?

love the hair shader, by the way.

I was experimenting with outlines, but it failed.
The outlines were either too big or to small.
You could see them through objects, obstructing visibility.

I decided to get rid of them. I forgot to remove them on the skin.
I still like the idea of outlines, but I'll have to find a different method.

SuperDoomKing

I realized I could use the hair shader for more than just simple patterns.
As demonstration I turned the bartender's shirt into newspapers! 📰
These are levels of creative potential I hadn't even considered.

This picture is a mood, I don't know which one, but it is.
I thought it would be cool to make the bar themed after vaporwave.
It really has that fake 80s look to it, like a random bar you find in a sketchy back alley. 🍹

SuperDoomKing Nothing says vaporwave quite like magenta colored gridlines 👍️ 🙂

SuperDoomKing those places are very often terrible and boring, or a lot of fun.
i found it correlates with the adventurous spirit of the head cook:
chicken parmesan burger == good sketchy
chicken tenders == bad sketchy

Finding random bars and restaurants is always quite an experience.

I know a bar that's located behind a hidden door in a room full of random crates and boxes.
Very sketchy feeling, but once you get in the bar it's precisely what you expect a bar to be.
Their menu isn't too big, but I would definitely go back once I get the chance.

If I lived in the city I would more often look for random places to eat and drink.
But oh well, maybe I'll consider learning how to make cocktails myself. 🍹

i'm not a bar goer, but i do like drinking. consider:
whiskey + chocolate_liqueur + milk.
very hard to mess up, very easy to fix, and the ingredients are cheap and versatile.
if you don't like that:
lemon_juice + sugar + whiskey:
there's no shame in watering it down if you don't want a face full of sugar with it.

for a seasonal drink:
apple_cider + apple_infused_whiskey/vodka + fireball + whiskey + lemon_juice + cinnamon
if you're poor, you can omit whatever you want. so long apple, cinnamon and booze are present, it's close enough.
in the PNW, there's a vodka brand. in the fall, they come out with an apple_cinnamon infused flavor. tastes better than most of my attempts at my own recipe. they're called Wild Roots if you want to look for it wherever you live.

Thanks.
If I get in the mood for some booze I'll consider trying some of your recipes. 🍹

SuperDoomKing

Testing out some street signs and speech bubbles using viewports. 🗨️

The longest sign. I don't even know if it's spelled correctly.

SuperDoomKing

This is possibly my stupidest idea yet.
The fun thing about being a solo developer is that nobody can tell me "NO!".
I thought it would be funny to make a level based on the surrealistic painting Golconda.
With some Mary Poppins like umbrella's the player can jump on. ☂️

In blender I don't have shaders, since I know I will port all my models to godot anyway.
However because of that I feel like my models never are at their potential inside blender.
This picture is in godot with my shaders. 🍸️

MikeCL

SuperDoomKing It looks great! I love that you are going with a strong visual style for your game! It makes it stand out.

packrat

SuperDoomKing checks out.
my shaders are all in godot as well, and i can confirm, everything in blender looks like garbage.
the resemblance is uncanny.
<pretend i posted a screenshot of a pile of garbage. it's still on the blender todo list. my laziness really wrecked this joke, didn't it?>

packrat

SuperDoomKing i want to drink the brown thing.

SuperDoomKing

Testing some monochrome style.
It's a bit tricky to work with, I don't want the screen to just eye blinding white.
If I get it right it could be one of the coolest islands so far.
It won't be just monochrome though, I want a mild paper theme.

SuperDoomKing

Ah colours, in a world deprived from it.
Maybe I'll put the monochrome idea on hold and go full on paper.
I may have to write a new shader, my other shaders aren't quite right for this paper style.

Low poly models and paper go really hand in hand.
I should've used this when I was still working on that kart game.
Oh well, maybe in the future.

Also fun fact, this house model I originally made for my first ever 3d game, but this time with actual texturing.
Oh how I love to reuse and reimagine old assets, one of my favourite things to do when making a game. 🐌
