Tiny solo dev trying to create a horror game and a 2D animated series one day
That's a hard one🤔
Step one was watching Arcane 8 times in a row.
Then I started painting faces and developed a technique similar to my 3D modelling process. The philosophy here is I put a dark color down and then erase where stuff extrudes/reflects. Hope the timelapse shows what I mean

I usually don't record my modelling process because it makes me feel like someone's constantly watching and judging me.
But when I made Makena's car I managed to ignore those feelings for two days so have this timelapse.

Not as much progress as I'd hoped for this weekend but I finished her face texture and tried something fun with her glasses.
Don't come for me for that wasted UV space it's a wip😶‍🌫️
Also how freaking hard is it to model glasses???

Back to business baby! I'm working on girl 3 of 5 and did an overpaint of her 3D model (which is just her head for now...) to determine what hairstyle I'll be tormenting her with.

I'm still rolled up in my blankets with some tea and a migraine so I thought I'd be dramatic today and reshare this cover I did a while ago.
In all honesty though I really miss making music. There's been barely any space for composing or singing this year. I hope I can change that in 2026😶‍🌫️

Updated pinned post as there's so many new faces here so hello everyone!
I'm Chappu and I'm a solo dev working on a handpainted third person horrorgame about an all girls ghost club.

This is what it currently looks like in engine and below you'll find my gamedev recap of everything I've made so far

Don't mind me, just resharing my gamedev recap of everything I've made for my horror game so far cause I want to make a new pinned post.

Were you getting bored of my three trees and the ground plane? No problem as I've finally managed to get Makena's room into the engine.
Hope you like the comfy atmosphere. Surely nothing bad will happen.
Also flowy dithered curtains hello?

It's my birthday today so I thought I'd make a recap of all the #gamedev I did since last year. Also I heard I get to wish for reposts today?😶‍🌫️
Backing track is new music I made for the game.

I'm learning... And while it doesn't yield the results I want(yet) it's also really bad for the frame rate😊

I don't have much for today. Refined some facial expressions, finished her upper body textures and her body rig. Now it's only the hair and shoe textures left and she's ready to go into #cascadeur for animating.
