2D Top Down RPG - I switched it up...
This journey started about two years ago when I was playing a game inbetween studying some stuff, and then was like, "Why not?". I then began learning Unity because I discovered it was the best engine for 2D game design, and with that, C#. The game was going to be a 2D Top-down RPG.
If you are unaware of what that is, it's basically this...

Game idea 1
After the idea comes an important question.....
How Do I Start This?
The only logical thing for me was character designs. I don't always believe in learning before doing, because that can lead to procrastination.
So, I started the character design process....
Awesome. Characters were looking good (at the time). On to the part I was most eager for....
Watching my characters come to life....
Animation will always be my main passion, and I love it with every fiber of my being, so doing it always brings me joy.
I'm inlove, but not satisfied yet. She has to obey my every command. I need to control her....
So now...... Making the character.... a character.
Importing in to Unity, UI elements, environments, coding, movement space judging, and you get:
A GAME!!!!
When pouring your heart and soul in to something, honesty is important
And I'm honest enough with myself to say that the game was not looking its best.
Sooooooo.......
Game redo and improvement
Everything had to change
And I mean everything...
Buttons:
Character:
Animation style too (Went for a pegged approach)
And Objects
The game had a whole new look and feel
Even a few new locations
Production was going really well
Until....
The more you make in a game, the more you realize you want to do
And there was a lot more I wanted to do that this perspective wouldn't allow
It was a hard choice, but I.....
Switched the game to 3D!!!!!
New Perspective. New Engine!!!
From Unity to Unreal Engine!!
From Clip Studio Paint to Blender!!
From something I am qualified in... to something..... I'm not.
I mean.... I studied 3D Animation for a bit, but I'm not qualified.
Sorry guys. Games not gonna look as good now....
Probably what you thought, right?
I ought to leave you in the dark with this one for having such little faith!
But I'm not that mean ;)
Character Improvement!!!!
There's 10 beautiful women so far just waiting for you to give their creator your approval. [^o^]
Building Improvement
I wouldn't have done this unless I knew how much better it is going to be
And most importantly...
Better scenes
Which means...
Better views
