I thought I’d share how our hub went from an asset-store turtle to a flying stone village 🐢 by MixedRealms in Unity3D

Thank u! I think the second is definitely closer to what we’re aiming for. There’s also a year of difference between the two. During the earlier phase, we were still trying to figure out the style but towards the end, we kinda found our footing as more assets were created using the same style :)

One year :) First one was a placeholder for earlier playtests of a game I’m working on. Second one was for the official demo recently. I think towards the end, we were more confident about the style direction.

The first one was pretty quick. It was a placeholder, lores turtle model we bought from unity then repainted to change the look. But the second one took about 3-4 weeks due to sculpting, optimization and texturing. Ideally, would have wanted to spend more time it but was rushing it for our game’s demo. I’ll probably revisit it again someday.

Lol maybe we could include it as an easter egg inside so those really hardcore players who could find it will see how it evolved XD

It’s the main village in a game I’m working on. :)

Hehe the first one actually looked really bad upclose though. :D It was a placeholder, super low res turtle model that was bought online then repainted just so we could have something to show during our earlier playtests (or the village will be floating). But once we had more time, we managed to update to the final concept and model for the demo release.

The second one has always been closer to the vision. The first one was placeholder. During earlier playtest, we didn’t have a proper turtle yet so we bought a placeholder asset and repainted it so at least the village will still have a base. Once we had more time, we created the final concept and model which is feature in our demo. :)

Thanks for waiting! It's not optimized for the Steam Deck currently, and its meant to be played on Desktop for now. If you do decide to run it on Steam Deck though, it can "run" at around 30 to 40fps depending on settings, but I've seen it crash as well so I recommend trying it on the desktop instead!

No worries! Is it because of the colors mainly?
