I’ve have begun working on a little hobby project game, I have worked on games before obviously, but I felt like a wanted to make a game all by myself to get a deeper understanding of every part of the game development process.

I’m a fan of samurais and their style, so I thought it’d be cool to make a game about that. I have also wanted to make a 2D or 2,5D game so I decided to go with 2,5D. So I have started prototyping some mechanics and created the main character and made some animations.

I wanted the style of the characters to be very cubic, both for simplicity and for a unique style. I made some concepts then moved on the creating the 3D model in 3DS Max. Using CAT I rigged and skinned the model. I animated it in 3DS Max as well.

I have worked on a movement system, a combat system and enemies. Not sure if I’m happy yet, since the design is not set in stone and I’m still prototyping and learning.

More updates will come as I continue working on it.
