In this development log for The Answer is Never! I discuss my texture-less approach using vertex colors to materialize the game’s 3D content. That’s right. I don’t intend on using any 2D texture maps for any of the in-game 3D content. I found myself very much inspired by Tomas Sala and his texture-less approach to rendering The Falconeer. I will eventually plug in procedural maps to add in a grime/wear/dirt pass. #unity3d #rendering #aesthetic

In this devlog I talk about a workflow that uses Google Sheets to keep track of content and workload during early production. I find this method helpful in compartmentalizing the authoring of a massive list of 3D assets that need to be either authored.

Last night I finished up a new piece of concept art for my upcoming game, The Answer is Never! Feels good to start bringing this world and characters to life. #gamedev #conceptart #imagination #art

One of the secondary NPC character modeling sheets is now completed. I have a task to follow this up with a full-color, fully body illustration of the same character. As an aside, I know I’m not very good at drawing hands. #gamedev #conceptart #adobeillustrator

I had to do a lot of cleanup on this one, but I think I’m happy with the final character sheet. I’m going to be telling her story over the course of this year, and I wanted to make sure she matched what I saw in my mind. Samantha is the main protagonist of the game, The Answer Is Never! #gamedev #conceptart #imagination #art

I’ve been working on a full-color illustration of Samantha using Adobe Illustrator. Working with vector drawing tools can be a challenge, but after enough exposure you’ll find yourself moving quickly. #gamedev #conceptart #adobeillustrator #art
