Hi everyone. Thanks for your help so far. Here's a little teaser screenshot on Himeko Sutori, my upcoming tactical JRPG, where you will lead armies of over 100 unique named units, plus get access to everything you'll need to create your own campaigns, including 2D and 3D assets, drag-and-drop visual scripting nodes, plus ready-to-use items, character classes, skills, and empty templates for you to make your own:
I switched to half-Kaizer, using a bunch of poses from Alisa Christopher. I know the colors are dull. I'll work more on artistic issues after I work out some more technical issues. I'm hoping to get the pathfinding and combat systems working over the next couple of weeks and I'll put another video up to show what it looks like in action.
Also, I got started on painting my own hi-def replacements for GCH's VXA Face assets. I taught myself Photoshop over the course of a month's free time and made these. I don't plan on using them, but they'll serve as decent placeholders for now.
I'll be using something more like this for my final portrait templates:
And for those of you who missed my earlier videos, please take a look:
