Game development is in full swing, and I hope I’ll soon be able to show you more than just character previews! 🎮✨
For now, I’d like to introduce the updated model of Zack—the protagonist of the game.
Zack is a curious young man who comes into possession of a mysterious map and letter that could change his entire life. The place he soon finds himself in will put his curiosity to the test and reveal the many sides—and consequences—of wanting to know everything. 🗺️👀
Did you know that one of the sins is directly connected to curiosity? Well, Zack is about to find out. 😈
I won’t lie: at first, I considered letting players figure out for themselves which sin it was... But why add such an obvious feature to a game where you can simply... play—and perhaps do a little more than that, hehehe. 😏
Anyway, here are some new images featuring Zack’s updated face! I’m finally much happier with how he looks and how recognizable he remains across different scenes.
I’d also like to share a few thoughts about the creative process.
Generating backgrounds, poses, facial expressions, and—especially—complete scenes that actually match what I have in mind is a painstaking process. It takes patience, time, experimentation, and a genuine desire to achieve the right result.
For anyone who thinks it’s as simple as pressing a button... well, try generating exactly the character and scene you imagined. 😄
Even something as seemingly simple as extending an image can give you ten—or sixty—abs, two heads on one body, ten fingers on one hand... You know, perfectly natural human anatomy. 😂
I once had a particularly funny incident while using the ADetailer extension. It decided to “fix” a hand in a rather creative way. Many creators have probably invented their own lore explanations for characters having six or more fingers—but this was something else entirely.
If you’ve seen Doctor Strange, you might remember a hand made up of smaller hands...
Well, in my case, the hand was made up of faces. 🤣
Another development update will be coming soon—and perhaps even the game itself. We’ll see whether I finish the next scenes first or become satisfied enough with the current ones to finally release them. 😄
Either way, more is coming soon! ❤️🔥
