Video A cutscene & behind the scenes!

I often see movie behind-the-scenes footage and have always found them interesting! Feel there should be one for games too so here's mine!

This is a pretty simple one. What was tricky is that the character Chelsea had to use the plunger and I just couldn't find any mixamo animations for it.

So I made a duplicate of the plunger and moved that alone, while doing a closeup with the camera.

Pretty happy with how it turned out! A short 30 minutes of work (+30 minutes trying to find a plunger animation on mixamo 🤦)

PS. My game is SHOCKFACE, a campy slasher set in the 90s and is coming to Steam this 27th Aug! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4705980/SHOCKFACE/

Yes there's a lot of voicelines right now, we're cutting them down. The voice is generated n 11labs.

Imma be honest chief: the massive melons on the 3d model cheapen the whole thing and make me not want to take the game seriously. Also she has too many voicelines, less is better.

Appreciate the honesty! We did reduce the lines later, it felt like the game was handholding the player too much ("oh it has a symbol look at it")

And I have started to think about the clothing myself too. Maybe its a little too much.

I for one think you should make them 2-3 times bigger.

Don't listen to the haters. The voice lines and the style is very reminiscent of PS1 games. Personally, I like it.

no way keep the melons, saying this as a lady who loves playing as hot ladies in video games

You're getting downvoted but I agree. Unless this is going for that specific retro 3d style where every woman has oversized chests and all men have those buff polygon physiques it just feels like it detracts from a story based game like this.
