A closer look at the player model in Project Nirvana. I'm still terrible at making my own textures, so I just stencil painted the concept art onto the model lmao.

Money well spent.

I'm still working how the level of visual fidelity for assets that feels right and achievable. I love the retro 3D look and would love to be able to do PS2-level visuals, but I'm not good or fast enough for that. So I'm sitting somewhere betwene PS1 - PSP level?

The Game of Go-- An Unexpected Path to Enlightenment ----- Date of access: 20181218------------------ 바둑은 참 오묘한 놀이. 그 놀이에 불교의 사상과 어떤 접점이 있는지를 고찰한 글인데, 특히 "비어있음" (emptiness)과 "연기"(interconnectedness)에 대한 통찰이 흥미롭다. 물론 이건 인간적 관점이다. 내 아내는 과 더 관련이 있을 것이라…

Just read a great essay about the classic board game Go as a vehicle for Buddhist practice and learning. Some wonderful life lessons to be found as well. I gotta give Go another try.

Thanks! I love Journey. Still trying things out, so never say never!

hey alex, just trying to make gam 🥲

I'm still figuring out how it'll all fit together, but the goal of the prototyping process is to find a way to express that aspect of Buddhist philosophy in digital form.

Yeah, I get the fatigue as well. I think souls-likes (especially FromSoft's) have had very spiritual stories/settings, but I want to make the spiritual journey the focus. In Buddhism, the cycle of reincarnation is a source of great suffering, but it is also the crucible of positive transformation.

The game is about a warrior trapped in the hell realms, their suffering and journey discovering the Buddhist path.

This project means a lot to me, so I will do my best to make something interesting and meaningful for players. 🙇‍♂️

A big thanks to VicScreen whose funding support allowed me to work with some amazing contractors that helped with the concepting process. Their work has been awesome, and I will share more in future!

I’m working on PROJECT NIRVANA, a prototype for a souls-like inspired by Buddhist mythology and meditation.
I’ve been learning Unreal, 2D / 3D art and combat game design from scratch, so THINGS WILL BE SCRAPPY! But I want to start sharing my dev journey, so let's go!
