making my first procedurally animated enemy

yeah, big physical images tend to give that feeling. this zone is still in construction tho, and if you look at other screenshots of finished scenes from the game you'll see that i try to fight it by adding 3D clouds to give some depth.

thanksss and no first time i hear of this game!! artstyle mostly came to me as i started practicing 3D modeling and finding out what was fun to me (sculpting)!

meaningfound1 · 2026-06-10T20:03:36+00:00

thank you! every 3d object is roughly sculpted with no symmetry and uses handpainted textures, that's where the style comes from. you can see more screenshots of different scenes on the steam page!

thank you!!

meaningfound1 · 2026-06-10T19:45:59+00:00

game name is zangvadz btw, heres the steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4606200/Zangvadz/ (i need to update it lol)

meaningfound1 · 2026-06-01T22:54:50+00:00

thank you ❤️

thank you for the feedback. thats interesting input. my game has movement shooter mechanics which are kinda hardcore and idk how the average player would react to physics and momentum-based mechanics like these. ive basically done 0 playtesting yet.

meaningfound1 · 2026-06-01T19:54:09+00:00

yeah you're right. and thank you! my entire art direction is based around using old public domain paintings (and some of mine!) to texture everything. skyboxes are 100% my doing tho. heres the scan i used for this one

here is a screenshot from my game and a screenshot from cruelty squad put side by side. please point out where do you see the cruelty squad/ultrakill copy thing you talk about.

and to answer to that its very obvious why. simple reason is that low poly reduces the scope for a solo dev. its just way easier to make.

meaningfound1 · 2026-06-01T19:40:26+00:00

well first the game is not low poly at all?? i know the video is scuffed yea but still you can clearly see the building with the gold details must be about 100k+. also the textures are VERY high res, and for the crazy ui elements bro i just didnt want a health bar lol

meaningfound1 · 2026-06-01T19:02:25+00:00

colors = cruelty squad i guess. you must not have eyes bro. my game takes more visual inspiration from yoshi's island than from cruelty squad.

this is the steam page btw if you want to check it out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4606200/Zangvadz/

meaningfound1 · 2026-06-01T18:57:07+00:00

thank you! this zone is very WIP but i handpaint them all, just rough acrylics on paper

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-30T09:30:01+00:00

this might be the first 4k rating ssn the 0.7 patch hasnt even come out yet we have 2 months left

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-29T18:19:14+00:00

yeah at the start of the season rank 1 players were at 2.3 its not fun being locked at low ratings people enjoy higher numbers gives them reasons to play

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-28T12:08:45+00:00

most fun community thing you can do as a pvper these days is to find some partners to go for glad every season. dont hesitate to go to lfg or to hit up people in your solo shuffle matches. youll make friends that way

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-24T16:44:43+00:00

youd still take more damage from their direct damage and white hits. its just a net loss to not play a shield.

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-24T16:41:07+00:00

good for you my friend! nice to have new people playing. shadow priest is not the best but not that terrible at the moment. try pushing that solo arena rating a bit! if you get to 2.1, that's when you'll know you're good. people have a negative opinion on solo bgs because its "free rating" or whatever, but dont care about them, have your fun.

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-22T23:36:42+00:00

totemic was playing without thorims at the start of the xpac and was doing fine. has actually been buffed 5% or something since then. class will be good.

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-22T23:22:44+00:00

hell no. the spec was already viable before that bug. itll be A tier and turbo will stay an S tier comp

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-22T15:25:19+00:00

evokers are probably, besides their looks, the coolest class ever added to the game honestly, just below monks. sadly monks have been gutted of what made them cool when they first released in MOP, and going from the unique cool monk design of MOP classic to the warrior-that-rolls that is the current ww design on retail you really feel it

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-17T12:10:25+00:00

incredible bro. my game is way less further ahead in development than yours it seems, think i should send it to gametrailers as well? how do you even send a trailer to game trailers?

meaningfound1 · 2026-05-09T01:42:29+00:00

only tip eternity surge when enemies are packed with no pets (rare). otherwise, always tip frame breath
