This is the completed owl model. It’ll more likely be the low poly version used in the actual build. The animation is simple enough. It flaps its wings and spins around. Its just intended to form a little interactive element in the final build.Read More

The idea with the owl is for a scene featuring a hollowed out tree where the owl lives and allow for some simple animation. Its not intended to fly, just blink, flap its wings and pop in and out. As a 3D model it’ll be simple to make from a sphere or cube. Having it...Read More

The aspects of the character are a mish-mash of people’s memories of the actual park wardens who looked after the park up until the...Read More

My family are also from the area and some of my earliest memories are from around there. One of the things i remember was the...Read More

I’ve been looking at the amazing Proteus available on mac or pc. The screen shots don’t do the world justice. The sound design is incredible and makes wandering around the setting highly immersive. The score is mostly procedurally generated depending where your standing or which objects are around you. The 3D pixel graphics are perfect...Read More
