I'm really excited about releasing ZFighter! It's already come in handy making our latest asset pack, and I don't know how I ever lived without it. Some of you may recognize the environment and characters in the video. if only we'd had this back then!.

Noooooo MY BABY.

As the parent of a young teenager this is an indescribable feeling

My dog doesn’t like peanut butter and I take this personally.

A creator who I noticed during the GMTK gamejam has a new one out--this is a really engaging way to present complicated historical moments, I highly suggest checking these out if that's your cup of tea:

The man sitting next to me is passing the time before the show reading Christian literature analysis on his kindle.

At the Weird Al concert at shoreline. I feel very bad for the people working the bar kiosks. Literally barking for customers, poor guys.

The problem is, they will actually come and argue that these spaces aren't full of misogyny. Because they can't see it. They see this instead, and not the real danger, hostility, and vitriol women face, or the best case scenario where they just ostracize you immediately.

This video explains a lot of vrchat to me—people living out both sides of this delusional fantasy without considering what it’s actually like to be a woman in these spaces. And the leads of the company tweeting essentially this, it’s painful

My current pet conspiracy theory is that the recent trends of mega chunky glasses is just Luxxottica prepping us for AR now that they understand the limitation of the wayfarer form factor.

One of the weirdest things about the GMTK jam was having to figure out control/camera schemes, you usually don't need to make those choices for first-person VR. I don't even have the right vocabulary.

I did bring it into Substance Painter to bake AO, but because of his stylized look the only Substance material I ended up keeping was the rope on the bamboo surfboard. The turtle shell took as much time as the entire rest of him.

Overall the design, modelling, rigging, texturing took me about 1.5 days and was the biggest single task of the jam. Having some good base topology models and a workflow for deforming them sped that up a ton. Being unable to decide on his clothes colors slowed it down more :D.

Play (and rate!) Hang Zen here--it works in your browser window: .

During most of the jam the ribbons were not set up properly so freaked out constantly in playtesting. @LakuzaVR then set up a bunch of wonderful move/dodge/attack animations for the gameplay based on yoga poses, and @Cyanlaser did the movement/inputs for him.

Detailed the hat to look like a sea turtle shell. Most texturing done in Photoshop by hand. Color palette by @LegendsVR. Added lots of flappy cloth bits to show motion.

I reused some of my existing bases for the head and body, deforming to match the shade of the blockout, saving time on topology. Clothing sketched onto the 3D blockout model in Photoshop, then made from the body mesh to save weight painting! Test pose showed hat was too big.
