I finally managed to properly animate my edited mesh! Now I just need to properly paint it and I'll have my first character

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

I finally managed to update the mesh of the animated FBX files! Some of the animations didn't quite survive the round trip through Blender but I'll figure that out. Making progress!

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

After 3.5 hours I'm back where I was last time. And yes. I'm going a little crazy with the fresnel effect. Now back to the animations, I guess...

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

2 hours in. Looks like I'm honing in on an art style here...

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

First I gotta get a somewhat passable looking character in that kart. Then I want to add some opponents (figure out how to have them drive around the track), and then it’s time for the items 😃

Banjo music would indeed seem really fitting! Or diddy Kong racing 😁

This is what my kart racer looks like after 10 hours the fourth time around. Still stuck at the animations hence the invisible avatar...

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

I managed to finally replace the mesh in the kart with my own but something doesn't look quite right. Can you spot it?

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

I wonder how many of my 10 hours it will take me to figure out how to update the mesh of my animated character model...

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames #blender

After 3 hours I am back where I was after 10 hours last time I built this

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Attempt 4: Kart racer after 2 hours

#IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d

My fourth go at the kart racer! Let's go!

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

10 hours is up! I am basically where I was in my previous post. I spent the last 3-4 hours trying to update the character mesh. I ended up creating this abomination. Clearly I still have a ways to go...

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Finally got those trees looking a tiny bit better. Still not great but getting there. Good enough for this iteration.

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Approaching 3 hours and I am almost where I was after 10 hours the last time!

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

That fresnel effect is doing a lot of work here

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Alright! Time to build the kart racer again in 10 hours! Here I am after 45 minutes

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

My second time building a kart racer in 10 hours

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

It's starting to look more like Mario Kart! Though I started noticing some frame drops... Will have to keep an eye on that...

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Alright, got my decals to look much nicer now and even managed to add a fresnel effect to the terrain. But I couldn't figure out how to make the fresnel configurable yet so I'm stuck with this over the top blue-ish glow for now...

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Decided to place the decals for the road texture manually instead of having them placed along the road spline. Looks much better. Next: normal mapping

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

My goal is clear: show some tire treads along the muddy track. Seems like the decal projector could help here. Looks like I need to configure it a bit more 😆

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

Managed to create a nice fade from grass to dirt

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indiegames

What took me 10 hours last time took me less than 2 this time!

#IndieGameDev #unity3d #indieGames

Started my second attempt at building a kart game in 10 hours. Here I am after 1 hour

#Unity3d #IndieGameDev #indieGames

Sounds great but man I’ve found that trying to pinpoint performance improvements in compose is quite tough as it behaves so differently in release than in debug…

Thanks! The kart itself is from Unity’s Microkarting game. Most of the work was building the track. I’m going for a moo moo meadows from Mario Kart 8 look but the terrain editor is pretty new to me and has a bit of a learning curve.

Ok this is as far as I got with my kart racer in 10 hours. Time to try building it in 10 hours from scratch again. Let's see how far I can get next time!

#IndieGameDev #indiegames #unity3d

Took me ages to figure out how to disable the blending of the layers in the terrain editor in URP but I managed! Finally starting to look more cartoony! Still looks awful but at least cartoony awful...
