Creative and curious web- & game developer.

Creator of: update: I'm currently learning how to do 3D game development.

Sometimes I let myself be amazed by the power of simply switching things up. This is the game running in orthographic mode (rather than perspective). It really gives off RTS vibes.

First working version of "full upper body motion" (with independent lower body anim). Unity's built in anim blending is pretty poor for drastic movement.

Solution: lower body control the pelvis-bone while upper body copies pelvis rotation and evenly distributes it to the spine.

Fully working equipment/inventory system. Weapons renders on character even though not wielded.

Some more UI work.

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

Rendering equipment meshes on character (and updating character stats).

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

Some UI work using UI Toolkit in Unity.

Early version of "aggro range indicators".

There's a ton of techniques going into this but I'm basically using two stacked decal projectors per creature to project a solid circle but also a transparent inner-circle to mask out a hole.

This way the borders seem to glue together.

My brother @ZackaraArt is also tapping into game dev. He's learning how to do 3D models, paint/weight paint, rig and all that stuff :)

More to come!

I will continue posting screen captures from my "Learning 3D-game dev" journey throughout 2025.

As you might tell a game is slowly forming. The project name is currently "Umbilicus".

I started my journey in November last year and is really happy about my progress thus far!

(10/10) Learning 3D-game dev: Game running on a smartphone for the first time!

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(9/10) Learning 3D-game dev: First "atmospheric" build of the game! This is putting all the initial pieces together!

This was a huge milestone for me.

(8/10) Learning 3D-game dev: Stresstesting my procedural generation + ok visuals.

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(7/10) Learning 3D-game dev: First pass on texturing. Just getting color to place correctly on my hexagons was no easy task to learn!

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(6/10) Learning 3D-game dev: First implementation of "death ragdoll". I really care for impactful details :)

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(5/10) Learning 3D-game dev: Basic VFX in place. Combat damage is dealt on a cycle.

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(4/10) Learning 3D-game dev: Fooled around with with animations & animation blending. The knight is generated using AI-technology.

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(3/10) Learning 3D-game dev: Basic "circle radius" targeting system. Your character checks distance from within the circle and decides upon a target.

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(2/10) Learning 3D-game dev: here's a early showing on my procedural world generation. As your character moves the world generates "underneath you".

[Kim Korte @kortekim]

(1/10) The year is 2025. I decided to learn how to do proper 3D game development in Unity.

This is the first week of development.

@tanmays Love this feature!

From day one of using an iPhone my brain has been wanting a way to tone down the amount of different colors on each screen. It honestly is a design mess with different colors everywhere. And sorting apps by color is just tedious.
