Captain Quaren character for Jak 4 FGP

[fierce fern]

never really grew up with the Jak games but looking at them it looks like you got the style down! 🙂

Thank you, it took some experimenting for the team to find a style that was close to old games while updating certain aspects. I have a lot of fun working on these characters 🤟

That’s pretty cool! Is it a big team?

50+ Volunteer devs currently

Holy, that’s a lot more than just a few hobbyists!

Did you personally make that model? Or is it a team effort type thing

This is one I worked on personally based on a discussion and idea bash with some of our Concept artists. The projects large in scope and because it's all volunteer based it's ideal having as many devs on board as we can to keep things moving smoothly when people need to step from time to time. Overall it's a very fun passion project thats been in the works for over a year now. I've made a number of characters and creatures for it so far

ah that's pretty interesting! i think there's been a surge of projects as of late that are inspired by the old mascot platformer games, and honestly super happy for it. When i saw the art I was just genuinely curious, cause it looks like you got pretty dang close to the feel it needs 🙂

like personally i'm aiming to make a Sly inspired one, so i think we're kind of similar boats for game aims 😛

Thats true and even tho there is always a possibility of C&Ds with fan game its just a lot of fun to working on something were all so passionate about. A lot of fans have also been suportive of our work so far which is nice to see. I never had much experience with Sly though im told it has an equally sizable following of dedicated fans. Hopefully will see something of your sly project in the future.

The only really diference in style came with the eyes, as the og games character only had flat planes instead of legit Eyballs. With the complex animations and story we want to tell it felt right to adjust for the more Pixar esc squash and stretch with actual eyeballs

yeah right now pretty early on, i'm relatively new to unreal but have a decent amount of experience with unity so it's shaping up decently. Personally i'm basically aiming to make something inspired by the gameplay of Sly rather than a direct fan game, more of a spiritual successor of sorts haha

controls haven't been nailed down fully yet which is why it's so floaty, but i think it's shaping up okay for now!

Looking good so far, hope to see more of it
