Oslo Model Update

Initially, we were using a reskinned asset store model for our inquisitive, adorable protagonist, Oslo himself, to meet our build deadlines. Being the main character, we had to change that. 

Communicating closely with our 3D modellers, we worked towards a cuter, chubbier model which had more personality than the previous.

This is the tech drawing which the team and the 3D modellers worked with, just to better translate 2D concept art to the 3D space.

Added markings for the texture. 

This was Oslo before:

And this is after his makeover/plastic surgery!

It’s a wrap! Taipei Game Show was a blast for us - learned plenty of unexpected knowledge and there we so many brilliant games on show! A huge thanks to those who stopped by to playtest our demo and all the inspirational people we’ve met. We’re incredibly happy because of all the positive energy experienced at the show. More updates to come!

Taipei Game Show Day 0

The team is prepped and ready to set up for Taipei Game Show! It’s our first conference exhibiting as game developers (Imba Interactive has been doing audio for games - we’ve always wanted to develop a game). Gareth is doing his patriotic duty by serving his mandatory army reservist and he’ll join us on Day 1. *salute*

We’re psyched to show off our game to publishers and fellow devs, get some feedback, reiterate, keep improving and pushing the game out eventually.

The booth at TGS will be hand-crafted instead of printing it on a foam board - the story of Oslo is reminiscent of illustrated children’s storybooks and the booth board should represent as such.

In the meantime, TF is busy crunching on the build to be just in time for tomorrow’s show. Jeremy is working super hard on the cutscenes for the build and Sharon is busy with the audio implementation. Myself (Gwen), I’m prepping for the social media launch and ensuring the board looks great.

In typical indie game fashion, the crunch is real but we get the same kind of adrenaline as game jams. Ultimately, that’s the most important part of game dev - to have fun!
