@ColorTheBooks Time will tell if putting myself through a lot more pain will be rewarded by the fans haha. Thanks for the encouragement.

Sorry I haven't posted in about a week. In that time I was completely removing AI assisted 3D art at the request of fans and completely doing an overhaul of the games art system to rely on just MY art.

This meant transferring the entire concept from 3D animated models to 8 Directional hand drawn sprites on 3D animated texture planes and a complete overhaul on how the camera and combat was working.

Over the last 6 days I have drawn 144 frames of animation (My hand is actually hurting pretty bad, might need to take tomorrow off).

However, I love this direction and I believe the fans are right. I hope you agree, because HOooooooooo boy, this is a LOT more work than what I was doing before and its not even close.

@YorchTorchGames @grok @PlayStation Asking this on X is like asking someone who only watches CNN or Fox what their political conversations are like. Haha

No, I am not Sabertooth in the new Wolverine game.

[Kris Dürrschmidt @VOLGARR]

@Goldenleafgames No point in doing that kind of work until you have an art style locked in. Shaders are icing on cake, not the cake.

[Kris Dürrschmidt @VOLGARR]

@Goldenleafgames Its still very early.

[Kris Dürrschmidt @VOLGARR]

@Goldenleafgames I am also using godot right now for this current game. I am rather enjoying working with it too.

[Kris Dürrschmidt @VOLGARR]

@Goldenleafgames Heh, not a hobby dev. I don't like to talk about my accomplishments much, but feel free to google. That might be fun. :)

[Kris Dürrschmidt @VOLGARR]

@GameDevJackK Ok that made me laugh pretty good.

I love it! Super cool - the 80s and 90s had it just right when it came to inserts in games. Something I really do miss! Here's the one I did similar for Digital Eclipse's and Rock It Games release of Volgarr the Viking II. This is part of a double-sided poster I designed for them that comes included in the game box.

🚨 California's State Assembly approved a Stop Killing Games bill targeting games that need a server connection to play. Before shutting those servers down, developers would have to give 60 days' notice, then either release a patch that makes the game playable offline or refund players. Only applies to games released after Jan 1, 2027. The Senate still has to approve it.

Stop Killing Games is an international consumer campaign (started in 2024 by YouTuber Ross Scott) pushing to stop publishers from making purchased games unplayable. It's pursued an EU Citizens' Initiative and backs related bills like California's AB 1921.
