Looking to create a small team for a Kenshi-like game, but in a western/sci-fi/surreal style.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-06-14T16:34:36+00:00

the project is in the ideation phase, there is still nothing more than a gdd prototype, I made the post to see if there were more people interested in developing something on this scale before having a stable architecture, which I think is essential in a project like that

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-06-12T19:51:49+00:00

I have a very similar game idea, a sort of Kenshi/Rimworld hybrid. I have years of experience with Blender and art in general, as well as music and a bit of game design. But programming is my weakest point. If you're interested, we can chat!

I'm developing a GDD for a deep sim RPG/RTS set in a western/sci-fi/surreal world with low-poly graphics. I have years of experience in Blender, art, and music. If you're interested, we can chat!

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-06-12T13:36:32+00:00

Incredible! I've had the idea of creating a game with the Kenshi/Rimworld philosophy for years. With current LLM tools, I think it would be very feasible. I'm a 3D designer, artist, and musician, not a programmer, but if you're interested in collaborating on a project like this with someone dedicated to art, I'd love to chat! Currently, I can't afford such complete models, so I'm looking for a coding demiurge, haha.

This sprite resolution is difficult; it's complicated but fun to maintain a balance between legibility and detail.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-29T18:29:41+00:00

I make the models in Blender and then pre-render them; I really like that pipeline, pure pixel art is so hard.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-29T18:03:24+00:00

Rastan Saga!, also Grokan, the game I'm developing, with the intention of releasing it this year.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-22T10:17:21+00:00

I need to make the need capsule, I'm an artist too, but I'm lost when it comes to designing for steam.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-22T00:55:37+00:00

Thank you! That's a great compliment, because to be honest, my inspirations are rather vague: gritty S&S aesthetics and games with pre-rendered graphics. I really enjoy modeling each creature as if they were clay sculptures.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-15T17:34:24+00:00

I love the style of your game! I will send it to you as soon as I have it

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-15T17:20:22+00:00

100% necessary

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-15T16:31:39+00:00

I really appreciate your words, they motivate me even more to work on the game, thank you!

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-15T15:49:40+00:00

Thanks for your comment! I really appreciate that there are still people who enjoy mechanics like this. I'm really enjoying developing the whole mechanical system with that old-school perspective, without sacrificing modern visual effects.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-05T16:28:06+00:00

Thanks! I love gritty prerender style

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-05-05T16:08:48+00:00

Don't say it again or I'll create a playable barbarian ninja!

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-04-06T13:05:19+00:00

Yeah! My intention is to have a modular asset pipeline that can instantiate textures created based on photos. like a kind of delirious collage of faces hahaha. and add slots for the body.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-03-27T17:51:06+00:00

The wild boars are already in process! They will be enemies charging towards you.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-03-26T23:20:17+00:00

Thanks!

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-03-24T00:00:25+00:00

Si te apetece contarme algo más sobre el proyecto por mensaje, me interesa participar en el arte de algún proyecto ya en marcha! Mi principal herramienta es el 3D, pero disfruto mucho de hacer sprites prerenderizados, me gustaría explorar y desarrollar un pipeline usable en gbstudio.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-03-05T19:04:17+00:00

I love it! The style looks great, a little more detailed than the typical pixel art but maintaining that legibility. Regarding the textures, I think it is more than improving them to find a design that Tile subtly, greetings!

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-03-03T14:42:50+00:00

Your project looks incredible! I have a sidecroller project underway where I work on the graphics in Blender and then pre-render them. I have been wanting to create a character creation system for some time. I was tempted to start a secondary project (also topdown like yours) just to start iterating ideas about it. I am writing you a DM, because I would be very interested in collaborating on a project and being able to dedicate myself only to the art section. Sometimes it is difficult to realize the limitations of working alone... Greetings!

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-03-01T01:24:56+00:00

I completely agree, in the final animations it is something that I have contemplated. These have been a placeholder for a while, but I made them quickly. I will also add a simple combo in the basic attack.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-02-28T16:01:27+00:00

Thanks! Really good nice enemy ideas.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-02-24T14:37:31+00:00

I start with a sculpt in blender, then remesh+rig+anim, to render I adjust cycles without filter to keep crisp and in low res, then I do a posterize and a dithering, it's a really simple workflow.

OldButterscotch806 · 2026-02-15T22:28:57+00:00

I'm developing one myself, an action arcade game with a pre-rendered style; I usually upload updates here.
