I'm making an RPG, where you play as a post apocalyptic Survivor with no memory, in a world filled with junk robots who mostly ignore you, and throughout the game you uncover more and more about that world.
In this video I'm going through the process of designing my main character and how it should fit into the game world.

This video inspired my wife to install Blender and try her hand on designing characters. Thanks for the info and inspo Ibra!
Wow! that is great! glad that my video helped :D
Thanks for the inspiration
you are welcome, glad u liked it 😊
Good luck Ibra! You can do it.
Thanks
Wow, I can see the passion you are pouring and glad you are learning along the way. Looking forward to the final product!
Thanks for the support! really appreciated 😊
amazing dev log! watching as a indie dev i've had no trouble with the code and music aspects but now drawing and middling is a huge challenge!
Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it
I like how you’r diving into details while you’r explaining the way you use !! So helpful contents , keep it up Ibrahim 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Hiba, glad you liked it 😊
keep it up! I really enjoyed this video haha, I don't even seek out that much devlog content but you appeared in my recommended and I watched the whole thing! also your comparison between a santa candy and a UV map was accurate made me smile. excited to see where this goes!
Thanks for your support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it popped up in your recommended feed :D I appreciate you taking the time to watch the whole thing!
Awesome. can’t wait to see the final project keep it up and good luck Ibra
Thanks 😊really appreciated!
This is awesome!! Coming from someone who does have a background in 3D environment art, and who also wants to sculpt my 3D character but finds it intimidating, seeing someone in a similar position model your character and do it really well inspires me. I love your character's art style. I can't wait to see more!
Thanks
Very inspiring! I am excited to see your game coming together.
Thanks! really appreciated!
AWesome Ibra, gonna be fun to follow!
Thanks, i enjoyed watching you devlogs for a while now 😊
@@ibrabdo thanks!
u r welcome :) @@MichoSchmidt
Loved the video. I like that it's interesting and informative. I like that you started with the character. For the project I'm working on, I have an idea of who my characters are and what I want them to look like but I'm no artist. I can't wait to get them into the world and see them come to life just like your character!
Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it, i dont recommend anyone to start with the character design specially if it is the first attempt in making a game, in my case i had to redo character related work to many time when tryin appling it to the engine because the technical mistakes that i wasnt aware of, like the character mesh needed to be symmetrical so it could be rigged properly, and better staking for the UV unwrapping to maximize performance, and to split the character bodypart into pieces so i could switch between them when changing equipment in the game, and that the mesh topology of the character should not be spread evenly, and that it should be based on the muscle mass and joints to have a better looking animations without having broken joints and so on i could go for pages, BTW i checked ur Devlog good luck with ur game looking forward to see ur teleportation concept evolving
Noted! I'll keep that in mind when it's time to bring my characters into the game. I still need concept art and someone to do the modeling. But in my case, I think it's a good idea to make it functional before polishing it up. Also, thanks for the words of encouragement. Let's keep up the great work!@@ibrabdo
amazing devlog, can't wait to see more!
Wow thanks, I'm a big fan of your work (BTW I don't like birthdays that much either) I appreciate your support and glad you liked my video 😀
Really cool, i’m looking forward to see the next videos 🚀🚀
Thanks man! really appreciated 😊
excellent first devlog! make your next ones 10 hours long plz :)
Thank you, it s too much work for 8 mins already 😅 but ill try to extend them as much as i can
Looks amazing, can't wait to see more. Keep it up!
Thank you 😊 glad you liked it 😊
Keep up the good work Ibra, looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Man ❤
Really wonderful dev log ☺️ best of luck on your project
Thanks 😊really appreciated!
This a great devlog
There is clearly talent, work and passion not only behind your game but also from the quality of your devlog
Thanks for sharing with us and please keep it up.
Thank you 😊 it was tough to creating as well as the game itself, glad you liked it
6:15 dont worry, I'm creating 3D characters for some years now and I still have to go through references and tutorials for my 3D character models 😅
😅 yeah it s tough
This looks gorgeous! Looking forward to learning about the world!
Thanks 😊 really appreciated
The art of the game is amazing! Keep up the good work!
Thanks 😊 really appreciated
Great! Very informative and helpful video, keep it up!
Thank you 😊
I enjoyed the first devlog very inspiring
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
The game looks really nice and even the video was well made!
Thanks mate! really appreciated 😊
Very great devlog!! Also looking a great project!! I like it a lot!!
Good luck!!
Thanks you! really appreciated 😊
You're more than welcome!! @@ibrabdo
Awesome work man! Keep it up and keep us posted ❤
Thanks Murhaf, Glad u liked it! and dont forget to activate the notification bell 😁
@ibrabdo already done mate 😉
@@NotMyRealNameDaDa Awesome bro :D
Wow man! This is great, can't wait to play this!
Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it. if you want i'm uploading a monthly build update for the game for my patreons to try out 😀
Awesome job, Ibra :D
Thanks Anna ❤
Great stuff!
Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it
Really nice devlog, people underestimate how important custom assets and art direction are. I like that you invest a lot in it, your game already looks quite good.
Thanks! it took a lots of efforts to develop unique art style, alongside the gameplay mechanics and the storyline i hope all that will stand out 😊feel free to join the discord server linked in the discription
Great stuff, cant wait to see the rest.
Thanks 😊 really appreciated
Great editing! I am taking notes and will be trying to take some lessons to my own devlog. 😃
Thanks man glad you liked it! i like your devlogs btw, can't wait to see the progress of ur game :D
@@ibrabdo thanks very much! We indie devs need to stick together. :)
@@JoeTheis we sure must stick together, it already feels lonely to be a solo developer 🥲
Ovo je pre dobro! Samo tako nastavi.
Hvala puno :)
Good luck bro you deserve the best ❤
Thanks :)
looks really good man
Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it
Good luck man 🍀
Thanks
This looks cool!
Thanks! really appreciated coming from you 😊
Good luck bro.. You as usual professional
Thanks
Got really inspired and the game is looking great! Perhaps I can start my own game this year :D
Thanks, and I'm glad that inspired you, go for it I could be a tester 😊
Your game looks beautiful.
Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it
you give me inspiration too.
awesome! you can start developing your game :D
looks neat :) 👍
Thanks ❤️
I suck at modeling characters so this was interesting
Glad you liked it 😊
Awesome stuff 😁
Thanks man 😊
Great job ❤
Thanks Lama ☺
Bravo, samo napred!
Hvala puno :)
Great devlog!!! That sculpting process looks intense-coming from someone with basically no 3D experience
Thanks! really appreciated coming from you :)
This looks fun!
Thanks! really appreciated coming from you :) glad you liked it!
Very nice, I appreciate it you sharing this, I've learned a lot. Good luck with your game, SUBB'D.
Thank you for the subb, Glad you liked it 😊
I am very excited to see how you approach coding, coding is something i struggle with so maybe i could understand it better from someone who is also just learning
Ohh i'm struggling with coding as well, ATM working on the inventory system and my hair is burring 😂 but im glad u like the video
im using godot and can only manage to move my character left and right 😅@@ibrabdo
Ohh I remember I struggled for 2 months to manage to move my character left and right 😅 I was so frustrated but I managed lol I talked all about it in the third devlog due to publish in March so stay tuned or active the notification button 😅 hahaha cheap Segway but I'm trying my best 😂
it be like that lol rn im trying to just make a simple game a clicker but im not having any luck on that@@ibrabdo
just keep pushing, eventually it will workout :D
Hope you can achieve it, sir.
Thanks :)
Too brate dobra ti je idea
Hvala puno 😊
Full time game dev here. Normally you do not start with the assets, because where do you want to use assets when there is no game...
But as an Indie Dev that is fine, because no body pays you for what you do so you can plan your time how you want
True, add to that for me art creation is a fun process either characters, environment or prop art, for example there were a lots of vegetation, rock and tree elements in the marketplace, yet i went with making those from zero, and as u said the best part (and the worst part) of it that is nobody paying you doing that so u can plan your time the way u see it fit :D
thats the best graphic style ever
Thanks 😊 glad you liked it
cool vid
thanks :)
Amazing devlog man. Only thing that i disliked about my indie gamedev journey was due to the same mistake as you did. Not building up experience by small games. It wasnt that bad but whenever i started a project, within a few months i lost motivation and no longer felt that i liked the game idea and moved on to be inspired by smth else 😂😂
Thanks! glad u liked it, Yes one of the biggest challenges is staying motivated. in my case what keeps me going is when i learn something new and be able to implement it in the game even if it made me redo it over and over. i consider this game as box that i collect in it everything i know since i realized that i love videogames and anime many years ago 😄
@@ibrabdo The ideas are just great when you are inspired by shows. Im looking forward to mor devlogs 😅. Keep up the grind.
Thanks! Really appreciated @@kalpolproductions8558
Cool! 👾
thanks saso
:D
Hi - this is Rebecca from Linked In. Look forward to more devlogs
Thanks for the subb 😊
Great devlog! But why are there so many details on the character when it’s only shown small and from above? Is it for cutscenes? Good luck with the game, looking beautiful, can’t wait to see more gameplay! Cheers from Sweden :)
Thanks 😊I'm planning to give him facial expression HUD in the dialog box (still one of the ideas), along with cutscene, and the camera distance is not fixed u can zoom it till the character fit the screen. and i think UE5 support different LODs to the character so I'm not quite sure it will be an issue 😊. worst case scenario if it effect performance it will easier to lower the count of a character than increasing it :D but what im sure of is that i will definitely suffer on optimization 😅
You have some awesome looking hair.
Rejecting the advice of the people going before you and learning the hard way that they were correct all along is a mistake many people make. But I'm sure you learned a lot of things in that process.
Thanks i hope i wasn't going whiter thou 😅
True 🙂 and also since im an Artist I had to start with the Art part so i could feel invested and that im really doing this, Plus testing and applying tutorials using you own character somehow keeps me motivated to keep on going, the same goes for the environment elements and UIs 😄
@@ibrabdo I find that relateable. The ideal path is not necessarily the one which an individual is walking on for the longest. Especially in a creative sphere where upkeep of motivation and prevention of writers block is important.
As far as I'm aware, defining the artstyle early on can help shape the entire game development, but the actual art should be done later down the line. PrismaticaDev talks about this in this video: _"Visuals and Aesththsthetics in my Game! [Prismatica DevLog #02]"_ At the time14:50
But he is also from an artist background like you so this defintely shapes his opinion somehow.
agreed, and BTW "PrismaticaDev " is one of my favorites devloger, his tutorials helped me a lot navigating my project @@benrex777productions9
@@ibrabdo I am not watching devlogs as reliable as I did a few years ago. Because of that I didn't keep up with all the videos of PrismaticaDev.
Also my own journey of devlogging wasn't really compatible with his tutorials. I do everything myself with pygame and my game is pretty simple. Because of that tutorials on how to use game engines are not as interesting to me.
But he is still an entertaining person who creates a nice game. Which is always great to watch.
@@benrex777productions9 very interesting, so u r making ur own engine? i find watching devlogs and other gamedevs progress very entertaining even tho they r using different engine or other methods 😊
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
🥰
What were the technical requirements that forced you to recreate your character?
ohh waaaay too many 🥲 like the character mesh needed to be symmetrical so it could be rigged properly, and better staking for the UV unwrapping to maximize performance, and to split the character bodypart into pieces so i could switch between them when changing equipment in the game, and that the mesh topology of the character should not be spread evenly, and that it should be based on the muscle mass and joints to have a better looking animations without having broken joints. And more and more.... 😓 I actually talked about a lots of these stuff in the second Devlog, now it s been published on Patreon as an early access, or u can activate to notification to make sure to check it out once it is published next month 😊
ok thank you! i cant wait to see more from you in the future@@ibrabdo
U r welcome :) @@Kiiaro3D
Oh my gosh, this is so cool!
Thanks 🤍
7:05 "low poly" 💀
it requires some optimization eventually, but here compare it to the the sculpted high poly version i guess you could call it a low poly 👻
Don't worry, unity was made for people who can't code anyway!! It's easy when you have a passion for something, you'll manage :)
yeah maybe i ll give it a shot in the future :)
I think you'll find unreal is a lot closer to baby's first engine than unity is lol, I've worked in both game engines for many years. Unreal has this way of making you feel like you know a lot when you don't just because the complexity of a node graph that works can make you feel accomplished as its always easy to read. Unity literally works of the backend of visual studio? :D I have no idea where you got this idea from.
@zekenebel it true, ue5 feels easy because of the advanced visual scripting but it still very complicated, talking from an artist perspective, it somehow reminds me of actionscript 2 in flash and how it was designer friendly and how all legit programmers hated it😅, while it was doing its job perfectly for flash games. Until of course AS3 came and crushed all our illusions as artists and designers who managed somehow to be flash games developers 😂
Yeah I agree with this big time. UE5 is by no means easy when programming using actual optimised object orientated practices, it just makes it easier to write really bad code. Game engines are just containers for ideas, reality is anything is possible in both just depends how much work your willing to put in to make it happen. Ive stuck with unity primarily for two reasons. Their animation system as a whole is a lot more intuitive and easier to work with. Its easy to animate simple objects that may not need the 3D software treatment like a full body character does, and then all of the programming library's not only built into unity but 3rd party ones like DOTween which add things unity should just have by default. Buts thats the beauty of it. Granted I havent looked into UE5 much. Ive seen its capabilities in terms of rendering and its quite impressive. But theres no doubt unity will eventually make something that competes.@@ibrabdo
Youll also find most people who argue over the two like apples and pears are just comparing asset library's for nearly fully finished games. These people are not actual game devs @@ibrabdo
So you have all this experience in the game industry and you don't even know that games need people who want to play them?
It's fine since you say you're making this for fun, but would anyone actually pay to play what you're making?
What made think that i dont know that? the fact that i'm spending so much valuable time making these Devlogs and posts proves that i want my game to be played lol :)
Faces are not symmetrical, a rookie mistake many many artists make.
Sadly i eventually figured that out, and faced the consequences later when I had to start rigging the character 😓I talked about it in the second Devlog that I didn't publish yet, please check the second Devlog when it is out next month (or on patreon now) so you can see how I manage to go through that 😁
@@ibrabdoyou _faced_ the consequences?
