Did a shotgun equipping animation today. Not sure I'm as happy with as I am the others I've done so far so I might return to this one and polish it up. Also edited the gun model to look a little beefier.

Gun model by Nebula075.

Hmm, working on some shotgun animations, but not sure this is the right shotgun model for the job. Looks a little to small compared to the SMG from earlier, and I'd like this one to look a lot more chunky.

Back at the weapon animations. Pistol reload is next.
I know that saving art assets for later is good practice, but main goal of my project is to have fun making it, so here I am ๐Ÿ˜‚

Blender apparently deletes animations sometimes so I have to re-do a ton of work now, even after recovering an autosave....

I might actually be looking for some work fairly soon, so definitely let me know if that's the case!

Yeah, I'm probably going to do something similar for this also to help keep things simple.

I'm aiming for more of a Y2K era shooter, like Halo CE and F.E.A.R, although their enemy AI is way more advanced than what I can do for now xD

Love me some arena fun! Grew up playing Halo 2 and 3 multiplayer

12.12.2025 17:46 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I have some minimum amount of features I'd like.

About 5 weapons, 1 or 2 enemy types, and 1-2 fully playable levels. For mechanics I'm aiming for something simple with just shooting, pushing buttons and picking up keys. Possibly also throwing nades and melee if I feel like it :)

12.12.2025 17:45 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I hope to have a playable level or two at the end of this, but it's mainly going to be a shooter template I can work off of for future projects.

I've dipped my toes into Unreal and it seems like a great engine for sure. How far along with yours are you? :D

12.12.2025 17:35 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Using Godot. Main point of the project is to have fun making it and learn the engine.

Having a great time doing all these little weapon animations for my game.

Skaarsgard and high concept wild scifi horror. I'm interested!

Found a little time to do another weapon animation. Planning to have a little animation play whenever the player equips another weapon, much like in Halo.

Thanks! I do have some animation experience, but it's my first time trying FPS reloads :D

I think I have a useable reload animation. Pretty pleased with it for one night's work.

Been putting off my game deving so I'm to diving back in by doing something fun. First time doing a reload animation and I think it's turning out real well.

I did the animation but the gun and hands were modelled by Praneeth Ganoji and Mr. PurplePidgewon respectively

I've gotten to the point in developing my shooter game template where I need to start making gameplay and design decisions.

This is mostly a project I'm doing to learn the engine and brush up on coding so I'm not aiming for a masterpiece, but a prototype to build from would be cool!

Killing some time in Blender, trying to get a mood-piece or 2 done for my first-person shooter game.

Always liked the imposing and monolithic vibes of brutalist architecture and should also be a style that helps keep geometry simple for the game.
