More Rocket Penguin Stuff!


First up: ITEMS


Pictured are the models for three inanimate but nonetheless important objects-

  • The Jetpack Fuel is an item that appears in the level, and partially refills the player's fuel gauge to enable flight.
  • The Spike Plate is one of many obstacles that appear. Spike plates are extremely dangerous to touch, causing loss of health. They are sure to appear in great quantity and in inconvenient locations.
  • The Snowball Pistol is the weapon carried by the protagonist, Rocket Penguin. It can shoot out snowballs at high velocities indefinitely.



Likes: Machettes
Dislikes: Meddlesome flying flightless birds
Next up: The first of the enemy characters to be modeled, the Snow Mercenary.

Look at him standing there menacingly with that machette.

A render in Blender, because I can't be bothered to
fiddle around with video capture software at this hour
or else this would be footage within the Unity engine.
He doesn't just stand there though, he will also suspiciously and furtively glance around like the sketchy character he is. Isn't that something!


EDIT: And now a Youtube video of the attack animation in Blender, instead of a GIF. I'm consistent.

  1. I love the look of the snowman. How far is progress on this? I think you might want to scale down on the specularity of the snowman, it makes him look like a robot. Or maybe he IS one?

  2. In-engine the Snowman is a good deal less shiny. I'd have put up footage of that, but I'm still trying to track down a good (free) video capture software for OSX. :P
