The mesh really isn't very complicated at all - I tried to keep it minimal, especially the surcoat, which is rigged to only the legs and three extra bones.
@MiaCain2001
Absolutely love the look of the character, can I see the topology/wireframe? I'd love to get into a style like this and seeing more work like it would be awesome to point me in a good direction!

I originally started this project, Crypthound Vesna, as a highschool assignment when I was 18. It's come a long way since then (and has a lot further left to go), but it's fun to tinker with and add ideas to. (Sounds are all placeholders!)

2. I am not catholic, or religious at all, nor do I identify as a 'furry,' though I have no qualms with anyone who differs from me in these regards. Vesna, the main character, is christian because she's a 13th century bohemian, and she's a wolf because that's more fun to draw!

4. As some people have pointed out, yes, this is the lord's prayer in german. I'm a native german speaker, but I will change it to more appropriate middle high german or, if I'm lucky, medieval bavarian, as soon as I find a good glyphset. See also this panel in the comic:

1. The heal isn't always the full length. The player has a number of charges available to them; after the initial windup, indicated both by the animation and the placeholder UI element, interrupting the heal - by letting go of the button or getting hit - uses up one charge

Lovely Lady RPG is a game my best friend

and I have been working on on the side for about three years. I'd classify it as a sort of experimental visual novel with heavy Disco Elysium influence.

Hello - I don't know who Legoshi is! The character is Vesna, from a comic I illustrate here : )
V:DtWOF is a light slice of life comic set in southern medieval Bohemia. It updates Friday and Monday.
This account will post each comic, but my main platform is and will remain on tumblr, so please field any serious questions there:

Fun little exercise to model. All of it uses simple textures multiplied with vertex colour.

I promise I was trying to work my way back from estus to something that'd work with my slower combat system :p I was pretty surprised too when I realised I'd made a semi hollow knight heal, but that's life.

Instead of using sprites, each scene in the game is illustrated; I've done almost 300 individual pieces for scenes alone. It's a big project!

@jamvxyz
The game is called DOG NIGHTMARE because it's the main character having a really weird dream. So a LOT of the game revolves around her feelings for/about other women

@EldritchRe55837
Hello! Apologies for any confusion- Vesna is a woman, she's the protagonist of a comic I write
@LoyalHoundVesna
. She's crossing herself because she's a 13th century european christian, not a fascist. She also sleeps with women, so how good of a christian she is is debatable!

Happy to announce it's actually a 'Context Sensitive Dog Button,' and will empower the player in many ways beyond simply barking!
@MiaCain2001
I WANT TO PLAY THIS RIGHT NOW!
In this short video I loved everything, graphics, animations, speed and impact... and if it has a bark button it's a TOTAL GOTY!

Of note is maybe that the highlights in the shader require smoothed normals to build a shell and extrude/offset it; since the mesh has some sharp edges, we circumvented this by baking smoothed normals into the vertex colour layer.

More on this here:

@MiaCain2001
. My first pure Graphical C / HLSL shader!
It supports up to 8 vertex lights which wrap around models, and uses an offset duplicate model as a pseudo-rim-light.

Tried my hand at a snow shader, for reference in my Bachelor's Thesis. Fun to experiment with, even if the result needs some tuning before it's suitable for a real game!

Yes, and the rule of the church and impact it has on the protagonist's life is a major theme in the story- I'm not religious myself, but I like history, and want to engage with an important aspect of medieval life. I'm sorry if that means you don't like my game.

The monkey is a good bit :p
This is very clever to be honest... Did something similar with undead burg when laying out a university project, to get a good sense of scale for it. But doing it for interiors specifically is good...

I really loved working on the Doppelgänger music video for Sea Power, and most comments are very sweet, but I think it's hilarious that several of them are people angry (?) that the band changed their name three years ago

The shader itself is dead simple really, the "path" is carved into the snow using the red vertex channel, which is influenced by the player position

Depends entirely on whether I can afford not to work for ~2 years at some point :P
I may eventually try to make it via a patreon, or if the indie publisher scene improves, that could be viable.
