Here are the character designs for our game mod Project Negaton. Due to time constraints I will probably only be able to model two of these characters, since they have to be textured as well, but we shall see. Enjoy!

Well we’re finally doin it. We’re finally making a game. Sure it’s a mod for the Source Engine, and sure it’s just a learning experiment, but it’s a game Darn IT! I’ve waited years to do something like this, and we’ve finally started.

We did a bit of research today, seeing what the Source engine has to offer, and also seeing how we can integrate Maya into it. Since Maya is the 3D software we have the most experience with, it would be great to get a working pipeline. This project is definatly going to be 1 part work, and 1 part research.

I also hashed out a rough version of the Backstory for the game, as it’s going to be a single player fps, much like half life. We decided to go with something close to home, and set it inside our College. Write what you know right?

So the rest of this semester is going to be mostly research and asset creation, while next semester is going to be the brain popping adventure of trying to compile a game using nothing but our wits and and the google search engine. Wish us luck!
