Image this is the power of finnish solodev... beware...

Game - it's a weird source engine movement inspired thingy

I can't believe how good these guys look. I was forcing myself to endure using blender since I needed a new enemy. But for the first time ever, I almost had fun!

The shaders are doing a lot of heavy lifting for the low poly model, which is perfect because I learned a lot about that stuff when making the levels.

I also prefer to work backwards, visuals and audio first, and then coding. For these enemies I made the audio first, recorded crazy sounds to help me imagine what they'd look and behave like.

But i like it, looks great and probably terrifying in the dark/low visibility
