Sole's Projects Thread

[SoleVictim]

Welcome To The Contrast

A lot of the ideas for this were taken from The Divine Comedy, Dante's takes on limbo/purgatory and greek mythology. I tried to make it as much as possible about Sole (the character) cause I wanted this to be related to a story and environment n stuff I'm slowly working on in my head, and I don't wanna reveal its title until I make something worthy of having a good title reveal.
There's a lot of allegories I put into this but I wont get into all of them lol

Inspirations taken from this painting by Caspar David Friedrich and these 2 artworks


ill post some of my previous artworks in this thread at some point idk when lol

dont feel like working on an animation but i do feel like starting to work on a 20 minute long IWBTG avoidance/bullet hell in godot even though i dont know jack shit about godot 😭.
ive wanted to start a godot era for like 2 years now and im hoping it begins soon cause 1. i dont really know what to play when it comes to games rn and I'm exhausted from often playing hard shit the past few months 2. youtube videos are now mostly used as bg audio and i need to clear my to-listen album list 3. i really dont want to have another one of those "cook something, do nothing for 2 months" phases.

much like kevin, i need to be reminded to work on it and focus on learning stuff for it cause my main issue with projects is that its really really hard to get myself to begin a work session, but once i do begin im locked tf in. unfortunately i dont really finish stuff if there arent any deadlines but i wish to break that curse; i want to work on something and this is what i wanna do first i think.

so yeah thats one of my plans for right now and i think gaining support (or rather having people remind me to work on it or else they get to smash me with hammers) would hopefully motivate me to work on it. wish me luck and threaten me ✌️

been busy af the past 2 weeks and going to remain busy until christmas break but im putting in work whenever i have time and energy. i got to writing the script for the sequence of events that would happen and looking for necessary resources (primarily godot and blender tutorials for assets and yknow). right now is the setting everything up phase, and then after that the long learning, experimenting and bashing my head against a wall phase 😭

reasons why i started working on this are:
1. a love letter for the artist behind the album
2. a strong introduction to the project/mythos ive been working on for a while. this is going to be one of the titles that are part of the project, i plan there to be many more in the far future hopefully
3. an introduction to a few of the characters from said project and general presentation of what its going to be about
4. a good excuse to start doing gamedev and getting myself to actually start and finish things with my own free will

i did find an engine to use for this and im hoping it makes the learning process easier to deal with, still going to be hard to figure out whatever the hell ill be doing. my current goal is learning godot through those 2 brackeys videos, modeling characters in blender and porting to godot with a codernunk video, and then learning the other gists of godot and making assets n stuff.
im being held back by school heavily rn but im doing the most i can at the moment. should i be able to get past the urge to begin a work session, it should hopefully be smooth sailing cause once i actually start a work session, im locked in.

fyi some of my main inspirations are these 2 avoidances and this everhood fight

finished one godot tutorial video so far, brackeys 2d game, and ill probably finish the rest of his tutorials to get familiar with the engine and then work on the prototype which i think will mostly be about learning how to make bullet hell patterns and shaders in godot. no clue how long thisll take me but i understood the things from the video fairly well i think. i also need to finish that one codernunk tutorial which ill get to when i start importing assets and characters (which i also need to make models of lol)

in the meantime heres a mid swordtember render from 2023 with 'black hole' as the prompt
