From Orbit Dev Log - July 2018

#gamedev #b3d #FromOrbit

Turns out that I've had From Orbit configured wrong on the Steam store since launch. Was missing the 64-bit checkmark in the OSX configuration so anyone running Catalina or later saw a warning that the game might not run (it does). Oops.

#FromOrbit Harvester Animation - May 2017

One of the first set of animations that went into the game. I was learning to animate and use the Blender modelling, rigging and animation tools as I went.

The mining tool was still grey-blocked at this point.

#FromOrbit Character Skins WIP - May 2017

The first pass of the models for all of the character "modes" -- you can only have up to 4 crew members at once, but each one can switch between modes as needed.

#gamedev #blender

By May 2017, I had modelled the ship, character, and a basic enemy. Learning modelling and animation in #Blender as I went.
