Say hello to Oxon!

I hand painted his body parts like so and simply put them together in Unity! 😄🖌️🎨

Here are the original paintings for Villin from Somniphobia!

I simply paint out the body parts, take a photo of them with my phone and use lasso select in GIMP to carefully cut out the body pieces. Then I can just stick them all together in Unity 😄

Thank you! All the textures were hand painted so it makes it feel more “real” in a weird way(Altho hard to tell with the high compression :/)

I would love there to be more survival aspects and make starvation / sleep deprivation more punishing! Survival mode on Minecraft is really easy to survive in. You could really go in on some creative monsters etc too 🫢 well I mean it’s up to you really 😄

For our first year at uni we had to make a game in multimedia fusion. If you can spot any bugs in this play-through, let me know!

Having a small break is a good idea, but don’t leave this game on the back burner for too long, it looks great 😊

I forgot to mention… in the original concept you weren’t able to turn around and look behind you while you were in the vents (like in this video). Unfortunately this didn’t make it to the final release as I couldn’t get it to work properly at the time 😢
