NORMORD

Tomcat

DJMaesen heres the current state of the project>

It looks great! By the way, interesting question — how did you make the breakable crates and barrels?

DJMaesen

i made a single crate model and then a seperated pieces broken crate model. and then an area 3d wich applys force when breakingand instantiating the brokenmodel.
pretty easy really

Tomcat

DJMaesen Uh, well, I mean, something like that?

DJMaesen

Tomcat no
its not dynamic , they are precut models
1 for the crate , 5or so for the split up crate in blender

Tomcat

DJMaesen its not dynamic , they are precut models

It's not dynamic there either. Slicing is done in Blender and imported into the engine.

DJMaesen

Tomcat ah ok
same setup then

DJMaesen ive decided too not make my dream game with a big storyline and such

im trying too keep things simple, just make it a fun traversing shooting experience. but i want to avoid a brainless zombie shooter

Smart choice 🙂

I guess the best way to avoid brainless zombies would be to design some atypical enemy behaviors.

DJMaesen

xyz
yes

u ve got ideas for atypical enemies? shoot

Jesusemora

DJMaesen looks great! It reminds me of supernatural shooters like blood and clive barker's undying. Will there be some kind of magic or just guns? the assets on an earlier video appear almost medieval.

DJMaesen

Jesusemora yes blood is a big inspiration
and the setting is somewhat fantasy medieval.
im not sure about magic for the player to control.

kuligs2

What is normord? Is it a past game just on different engine or is it a new IP?

DJMaesen

kuligs2 its the name of the project i started in godot a year ago but then stopped working on it since my collaborator left.
this was the last WIP video i posted

kuligs2

DJMaesen Did you record the sounds FX yourself?

DJMaesen

kuligs2 the footsteps are foley's selfmade, the rest is all samples i edited in a DAW to fit .

kuligs2

DJMaesen Can you list the software you used for your project? 3D modeling, SFX, icon creation, any other? Just curious what tools people use outside godot itself.

Ableton wasnt free last time i checked. So i discovered LMMS - similar to FL studio, but free - https://lmms.io/

3D>
zbrush too aint free. Blender sculpting is quite powerfull too. If you never used zbrush and went the blender route, you dont even want to go back. But i remember zbrush had better retopo tools to clean up the mesh after or during sculpting.

I wonder why use any commercial software over blender in 3d modeling? Maybe you could shed some light on cons and pros ?

2D>
The ol reliable gimp i see? 😃 I find krita for image manipulation is not the best, it lacks the parametric things that gimp has, but its way more better to draw in than gimp 🙂.

Few notes on SFX:
That barrel breaking SFX is kinda out of the place. Sounds like not wooden barrel but something that contains metal cans. The gun sounds are great. Overall giving me the painkiller vibes. Pair it with intense BGM while shooting hordes and Bob's your uncle.

Well hopefully youre gonna release this project. Wish you good luck!

I really apologize, but I'm going to off-topic a little bit. You can use ocenaudio for music.

DJMaesen

kuligs2 why use commercial software?
3dcoat is awesome , zbrush is just what im used to , never really tried the blender sculpting workflow
i agree that the barrel sound can be improved

DJMaesen

finished the highpoly of the minion enemy model
these are the slaves of the cultists in the game

kuligs2

DJMaesen Is there a backstory of the game itself? Like why cultists, who is the punisher?

Cool model btw 😃
