Steppe dweller's motions
At this particular moment we are working out the way of moving
of one mysterious character – Steppe-dweller.
I have decided to upload here in Workshop his plod and to show
how he attacks – whether a human being or animal.

Transformations
After I got an overall idea of how this character might look
like, we tried a couple of artists, so each one of the sketches
demonstrates a slightly different "personal approach"
or what you may call it. Nevertheless the character's basic forms
were 3D modelled using both versions: see a black coat is barely
a something more than a black coat, no matter whether it is "personnaly
approached" or... erm.. just a coat. Sooner or later I got
a textureless, yet coated model, to make a final character from.
Behold the difference.
P.S.: What is "a sketch" anyway?.

The
problem of sleeplessness
I don’t know why everyone is so fond of the light in the
windows, it does look good, of course, but there is nothing revolutionary
about them, although the programmers did have to put a lot of
effort into switching the light on at night and off during the
day. I only gave them nicely fitting texture and made a few touches
to the houses.
All in all, the person to thank for these windows is the producer;
he wanted them so much, so he got them…

Storyboard in progress
The arrival of the army cinematic underwent numerous transformations
on words and on paper. One of the final stages was fixed, copied,
multiplied and passed on further down the production line.

| Game features
- The game “Pathologic” was created to give a new
view of the battle between man and evil. The Evil in this game
is real. It seems we have succeeded in depicting its true form
and insert it into the game mechanics. Such games are dangerous
and this is our official preliminary warning.
- The world of the game is a stone town on the border. Every house,
every tiny fragment of the town resembles its prototype. If we
throw out the useless pathetic, we’ll have a town that’s
not been invented, it’s been rebuilt. Every day we have
more and more things that are in their right place.
- After some work with live actors, there are 27 characters in
“Pathologic.” The players will be able to see photos
of real people in the game, a part of which is concealed behind
the masks of 3D dolls.
- Every courtyard of the game lives its own inner life. Often
random factors and planned events occur independently from where
the player is what his state is. It can be different, however.
- The primary task in the game is survival. The game allows the
player to choose his personal strategy for survival – whatever
you like. Chaos, marauding, communication, sleep, speculation,
fighting or other… The freedom is restricted only by the
abilities of the person and his will, as it is in life.
- Each of the characters lives the 12 days in his own personal
way and will unveil the story only from one side. Each will see
the same things, but will come to his own conclusions.
- The essence of the game is a trap. Every one of the possible
finals could be either victory or defeat.
- Facial animation of the in-game characters powered by LifeStudio:HEAD
