Created for Web Entangled Prophecy, this nice fake 3D effect applied to the UI serves not only as a stylish touch but also as an optimization technique, especially for a game with pixelated visuals.As the developer explained, he utilized a retainer box and HLSL in a custom node, and offered a comparison between the shader being enabled and disabled:Game menu example:Web Entangled Prophecy is a 3D platformer that tells the story of Mori, a spider girl. Developed as a passion project by Mrkarton and his brother, the game lets you explore the map through jumping, dashing, wall-clinging, and using webs to interact with the environment.Theres also a demo available, which showcases the movement and combat mechanics in the game. Your goal is to collect 6 key parts and defeat the boss while uncovering hidden secrets along the way.

3D Artist Pietro Chiovaro unveiled a one-hour timelapse video showing the process of crafting a picturesque stylized fantasy environment using Blender.The video covers the entire creative process, which took the artist six hours. It includes all pipeline stages, from creating an original concept to the final rendering in Blender Eevee. The artist utilized the Beta version of Blender 4.4.Pietro Chiovaro shared his pipeline for the project. First, the artist started by defining shapes, proportions, and style with a concept sketch, then proceeded to the blockout stage in Blender and used primitives to create the base structure. Afterward, the creator moved on to modeling and detailing and added windows, a roof, and stylized elements, followed by UV unwrapping, texturing using Substance 3D Painter, and detailing. The final steps include importing to Blender and applying textures in Shader Editor, setting up HDRI, adding fantasy lights, and rendering in Eevee.The artist posts a lot of videos showcasing crafting the appealing 3D artwork, including recreating beloved locations from games and movies, like Walt Disney Castle, a house from Home Alone, Super Mario Bros Castle, and Hogwarts:Visit Pietro Chiovaros YouTube channel anddont forget to join our 80 Level Talent platform and our new Discord server, follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Telegram, TikTok, and Threads, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Discover the Process of Creating a Stylized Fantasy House in Blender appeared first on CG SHARES.

After 17 years, Marvel's first family, The Fantastic Four, is finally heading to the company's flagship movie franchise, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Hello! Im Oli, the game director at Kaizen Game Works, the creators of Paradise Killer. Im thrilled to announce that the playable demo for our new open world mascot management crime drama, Promise Mascot Agency, is out today on PS5!Play VideoWeve spent a long time working on this game, and the whole team is excited for PlayStation players to get their hands on it. Let me kick it to you straight; the PS5 rules. All of us at Kaizen primarily play on PlayStation, and we all grew up with the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and PS4. I collect PlayStation and PS2 games, and that era directly influenced the design of Promise Mascot Agency.I love PS2 games where you Hangout And Do Stuff. Have you ever played Way of the Samurai, Raw Danger, Boku No Natsuyasumi and Steambot Chronicles? You should! You can really chill in those games, meet interesting characters, make important choices and explore at your leisure. Thats the kind of game we wanted to make; a fun world with mysteries, weirdos, secrets, good gameplay friction and immaculate vibes.Take control of the exiled yakuza lieutenant Michi, and team up with the chaos goblin Pinky to save a bankrupt mascot agency and solve the underworld conspiracy that got Michi sent to a cursed town on the coast of Japan. In this game, mascots are living creatures and the town of Kaso-Machi is filled with misfits that cant find work anywhere else. Michi is going to need to build a new family of mascots and help them achieve their dreams, so he can save the business and his yakuza family back home.Kaso-Machi is a town living under a supernatural curse. The mountain in the centre of the island is a playground for spirits and gods. The town is steeped in superstition and occult stories. Michi is able to try to solve the mystery behind ghost sightings, escaped sin talismans and the mythical Tsuchinoko creature. However, his time in town might be limited; the curse that hangs over the town kills any yakuza that come to visit. Can Michi save the mascot agency and solve a conspiracy before the curse rots his body?We started this project four years ago, collaborating with Ikumi Nakamura and Mai Mattori to design the characters and world. We have blended the Kaizen style with Nakamura-sans style to create a bizarre, nostalgic, unique game. Were a western company, so we have worked with Japanese artists, musicians and creatives to bring our world to life and fill it with authenticity. Often we provide very little creative direction, allowing our team members to craft something that is authentic and meaningful to them. This has filled the game with lots of different influences and lived experiences.We recently unveiled some of our voice actors including the voice of Kiryu Kazuma, Takaya Kuroda as Michi. We never expected to be able to include voice acting, and we CERTAINLY didnt expect Kuroda-san to just turn up to the audition like it wasnt a big deal. He teams up with Ayano Shibuya as Pinky to create a buddy-cop dynamic between Michi and Pinky. The game features many great voice actors, along with the first voice acting roles for Shuhei Yoshida and SWERY.Were a small team and it has taken everything we have to make a big, silly, generous, bizarre 20 hour open world RPG. Were so happy to share it with you all. We hope you enjoy the demo (and the DualSense controller haptics, adaptive triggers and speaker features) on PS5. Well have more to share about the full release date soon. Now, get out there, keep promises and achieve dreams!Grab the demo on the PlayStation Store today!

However, the path to Runyds house is not as straightforward as it seems. To reach the Watcher, youll need to find a hidden path, but you can forge a new one with a little ice.Heres how to get to the Watcher in Avowed.How to get to the Watcher in AvowedFor this walkthrough, start at The Rise party camp, located northeast of Paradis. Its the closest fast travel location in Dawnshore.To get to the Watcher, follow these steps:Travel to The Rise party camp.Cross the bridge to the north and turn toward the east to find a broken bridge.Freeze the water by tossing an Eye of Rymrgand ice grenade or casting a frost spell. No grenades? You can get an early frost spell by unlocking the Chill Blades ability in the wizard tree or by equipping a common grimoire of elements (found in chests or at one of the merchants in Paradis).Leap off of the frozen platform to mantle onto the broken bridge.Follow the pathway until you reach a fork in the road.Follow the path on the right until you reach Runyds House.Once youve arrived, interact with the Perturbed Patron outside and head inside to meet Runyd.From there, see our full Avowed walkthrough.

There are a few baffling things about Captain America: Brave New World, but the one thats keeping me up at night is how much the movie wants me to sympathize with Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross (Harrison Ford, taking over for the late William Hurt), and how badly the filmmakers make their case.Lets temporarily ignore the debate over whether Thunderbolt Ross might be a metaphor for anything in the real world. This is just about basic character writing. Leave aside Ross MCU history of being a thorn in the side of the Hulk and the Avengers, as well. This is just about the cold, hard facts that Brave New World reveals about him the elements of the plot for which director Julius Onah and the screenwriters were fully responsible.Looking at this movie on its own, you have a situation in which the balance of out of pocket things this guy did and noble reasons he did it are so far out of whack that asking us to see him as a tragic figure goes right past laughable and into confusing. Nevertheless, Captain America: Brave New World insists, Dont you feel bad for him?I gotta tell ya: I sure dont![Ed. note: This piece contains end spoilers for Captain America: Brave New World.]Brave New World stresses one sympathetic factor about Ross over and over: Hes estranged from his daughter, who refuses to speak to him. He wants to prove to her that hes changed from the man he was when she last deigned to give him the time of day, and for them to once again take walks together along Washington, DCs Tidal Basin in the spring to see the cherry trees in bloom. Thats a reasonable enough trait for a character whos meant to earn a little audience sympathy. It might be pretty convincing if Ross was just your average estranged father whod done something in the past that he came to regret.The problem is, according to all the other things Brave New World tells me about Thaddeus Ross, hes not your average dad who screwed up. Hes a United States general who imprisoned an injured scientist without trial in a black site laboratory for 15 years, dangled a presidential pardon in front of him to coerce him into using his gamma-irradiated superintelligence to make Ross president of the United States, and then reneged on the deal.In response, that scientist, Samuel Sterns slowly poisoned Ross with gamma-infused pills, turning him into a Red Hulk, and used his mind control powers to assassinate soldiers, implicate an innocent man, and otherwise disrupt numerous lives in an attempt to embroil the United States in an international conflict and destroy Ross refurbished legacy.Now Im not saying Ross is fully culpable for Sterns actions, but hes certainly some culpable! Surely, even if Ross only wanted to become the president of the United States because he thought he was the right person for the job, he should have considered the consequences of earning a scheming supergenius ire and the way the consequences of that ire would be amplified with Ross in power.I mean we dont literally do background checks on presidential candidates to check for complications around evil supergeniuses, because supergeniuses dont actually exist. But also this kind of illicit connection is literally why we do background checks on presidential candidates. Because having a president whos more vulnerable to blackmail, coercion, or non-presidency-related assassination than the average person is bad for a country!But Captain America: Brave New World tries to tell us that Ross only manipulated, used, and cheated Sterns (and arguably, the American public) because hes just so sad about his daughter! Betty Ross, former girlfriend of Bruce Banner, has good reasons for not talking to her dad, but Brave New World presents them swiftly and with little detail. Thats understandable because if it explained why shes mad, the case for Ross-related sympathy gets precipitously worse.I know I said Brave New Worlds failure to convincingly gin up sympathy for Ross isnt about his past MCU history, but I have to at least touch on it. Because this movie reveals that Thunderbolt Ross is a tremendous hypocrite: He was hunting down the Hulk between The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers; he was the U.S. Secretary of State sponsoring the Sokovia Accords in Captain America: Civil War; he was pursuing, arresting, and even courtmartialing heroes in Avengers: Infinity War, all in the name of policing the behavior of superhumans. And all the while, he himself was personally benefiting from his own secret superhuman mad (political) scientist to expand his personal and political power and extend his lifespan.You simply cant reveal that Thunderbolt Ross has secretly been doing full-ass supervillain shit for 15 years straight and, in the exact same movie, claim thats excusable because all he really wanted was for his adult daughter to return his phone calls! And yet Brave New World tries to justify his motives, even with its final breaths.In the end, Ross gets thrown in the same ocean-girded supermax prison he kept tossing the Avengers into. Thats a satisfying irony thats immediately undercut when Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) shows up to tell Ross he should be respected for the utter bare minimum step of repenting of his actions once they became public knowledge (and not a minute before) and accepting the consequences.Then Betty shows up to finally reconcile with her father. Why? She just found out his transgressions were an order of magnitude wider than previously thought! And yet she gives him what weve been told was the one thing he wanted all along.Its tricky to lay the blame here,and not just because Captain America: Brave New World has no fewer than five screenwriters. Based on various reports and distinct differences between footage shown in trailers and the actual scenes that made it into Brave New World, it seems possible even likely that the Thaddeus Ross in the final version of this film was altered and softened over the course of the movies troubled development.Well likely never know to what extent Brave New Worlds baffling sad dad feelings excuse any crimes undercurrent was part of its creators original intent and what was a side effect of rewrites. But I can say this and then maybe get a night of sleep without sitting up to go AND ANOTHER THING you cant make a guy the fully cognizant, totally willing source of all the globally significant problems in a movie and also expect me to feel bad for him because he just wants to look at the cherry blossoms with his kid again.
