I'm finally back into making this. I super simplified the way the player reacts to getting hit so it's done programmatically instead of a baked animation. It's pretty rudimentary at the moment but the systems are in there for polishing down the line. I also updated the guns to have different VFX.

In NIGHTMARE OPERATOR, switching weapons as quickly as possible is the key to efficiently dispatching enemies.

Effectively weaving between melee combat, parries, Discharge Cancels, and shooting is key to surviving in the Toyko Ruins.

My progress on this cool project has slowed CONSIDERABLY because I got a new (boring) job. But I'm ready to get back into it and carve out some dedicated time in my schedule to keep the fire going.

I started texturing/rigging the character over the past several days. Properly mapping out the UV and making sure the joints look okay during poses is so hard.

I'm really looking forward to plopping her into the Action Survival Horror game I'm working on.

I started learning Blender two weeks ago and it's mad fun. Definitely feeling inspired!

Hey I'm Rob. I'm a freelance programmer/game designer and have been working on the game "Cross Blitz" for a while now.

Looking at the characters and seeing how colorful the world is still brings me joy 😊
