A New Preview

Here is an a new series of screens I have been working towards. The house is one of a dwarf village, the dwarf picture I showed is of one particualr dwarf that will live in one of these houses. So far this house isn't done, so some things may be different or added.

Dwarves.....

A little bit has happened since my last update. One is I am still working on a village house. I wish this process went faster, but there isn't much I can with it. My biggest project I have been working on are some new models, one is for the next demo and the other is a dwarf, which this dwarf and other dwarves will be the inhabitants of the island village. I thought of a few new concepts, thanks to this inclusion of dwarves, such as quest ideas. Though I think this is as far as fantasy will go in this game, large animals, dwarves and giants. Which aside from the enlarged animals is not really fantasy. I can only thank God for all of the progress I have made. Here is an picture of the dwarf:

I made a sky a little while ago. Today I improved the sky, textured a fishing boat, remodelled and textured the dock. I also textured a house that I will use in the village.

Village

Yesterday I modelled a fishing boat and I also modelled and textured a house that I will use for a village on one of the islands. Today I went looking for pictures of Medieval houses to get an idea of what the setting was like, I also wrote some ideas of how the non-player characters will act and the layout of the village. I am getting close to releasing some more pictures.

Here's what I would like to accomplish before I release the next set of pictures:

- Village and Village Island finished

- Fishing Boats textured with non-player characters included

- Sailboat textured

2nd Demo

The 2nd demo is currently in production. It's world will be larger in size and it will consist of the sea, with islands. You will need boats to get to the islands.

Now this demo will not be as close to the full game compared to the third demo. After the 2nd demo is finished more on the third demo will be posted. I do not know much time the 2nd demo will take, as there will be much more content than the first demo.

Here are some features that I plan to implement:

- Fog

- Animals (land, air and sea)

- Quests

- Clouds

Here are some screenshots:

First post

Hello my name is Nick, but I go by the name Lava on the internet. I am a Christian and I am interested in the progression of Christian game development. I have started this blog so people will know how I am doing on the production of an untitled 3d action adventure game, as well as production on all of my game development.

I have not decided a name for this adventure game yet. Though I do have a plot planned for it, but it's confidential andI will post more on the story at the proper time. It's going to be set during the medieval times and how authentic it will be to the time I have not yet decided. For a long time this game has been on the shelf since July 2005 until I started making a demo in late December 2005, though I would make some models in between that once in a while.

I am currently making a 2nd demo as well as editing the already posted first demo. I plan to make a third demo, after that I will start on the full game. I will post more on the 2nd demo as well as pictures at a later time.

Here is a link to the first demo.

For the first demo I have textured the wall and I am almost done with texturing the town. I will leave the tents alone. Here's what I plan to accomplish for the first demo, after I texture the town.

- Texture the firewood and firepit

- Texture the characters

- Changes to the animation speed

- Changes to the character models

Tomorrow I will going back to school, from vacation, so I will not be able to work on this as much and all production will be alot slower.
