Hey everyone! Three weeks have gone since the last update, you might be wondering what has been made for this period.

Progress

From the one side quite a lot: - almost all key NPCs which are important for the main story line have been drawn.- the Piercer’s model has been remade by to match the style.- another hybrid are almost done, and awaiting to be textured- the car can move- pick-up system
Let’s walk  through the each bullet point in depth.
The Key NPCs - yes almost the main NPCs for the first part of the story line are designed and drawn.


From left to right
Zakhar - a wandering survivor, he never stays at one place for long always traveling around the all territory of the city and beyond it. He doesn’t support any faction and follows only his own principles. They say he is a ghost, because it’s impossible to stay alive so long being on your own.
The Nemostor leader, commonly known as Surgeon - nobody truly knows how he got this nickname. Some say that before the incident he was a surgeon and worked with the first victims of the parasite. This explains his injuries and mutilated face, supposedly , he was attacked by one of the infected. His lost jaw and part of the windpipe has been replaced by a mechanical implant. The others say that this name comes from the violent, inhuman experiments he conducts on captured survivors.
Colonel Lewis - was sent to DUGA-40 with international forces to help the soviet army to regulate the infection. As many others was left there to die during the airstrike. Now he is an informal leader of the “Railway Camp”. With the exoskeleton Ledokol protects the camp from Hybrids and Nemostor’s attacks.
Pavel -  young and gifted chemists. Used to be a lab assistant in the Hospital, but had problems with drugs and was fired before the incident. Nowadays, he has his own lab in the basements under the Hospital, where he cooks different drugs and sell them to everyone in the city. He never leaves his basement and always use somebody to distribute his stuff.
The Ledokol (Icebreaker) - the most powerful and armored exoskeleton ever built in the USSR. It was meant to replace tanks as a class, but due to some significant disadvantages: slow speed, high fuel consumption and high production costs, was never launched in mass production. One of the prototypes was found by the “Railway” survivors and fixed, to protect their camp. (This is non playable exoskeleton)


some design iterations

Speed painting from our concept artist Dmitry Alexeev

The new Piercer’s model - more realistic, more vicious and creepier than it used to be.



New hybrid - Jackal (WIP)

The Car- this video barely shows how the car moves, no physics or animations whatsoever,just pure controller. But it’s already quite fun to drive around)


Some new props 



Thank you,

Snow Arc team.

Interesting stuff, was this inspired by "The Thing"?

Certainly, the overall look and mutations of the hybrids are inspired by The Thing (John Carpenter), in my opinion this movie has one of the best creature design and the fusion of human/extraterrestrial life form.

However, the main difference with The Thing, the FS parasite is a very simple life form (mold-like) and it alters carriers to feed, procreate and survive longer.When it's experiencing the lack of food it hibernates.

Hey! Thanks for the questions.

1) We don't plan to have interiors in the cars, simply because the camera will stay isometric and will be fallowing the car from behind. In this case the interior would be just a unnecessary luxury and additional load on performance.

2) At the moment we are struggling with the car controller, hovering car is not that simple as we used to think, and the next goal in our schedule is to add such factor as durability to some parts of the car ( engine, magnets/wheels, etc.) . What means that you not only need to find fuel for the car but also some spare parts to fix it from time to time. Of course we'll make the animations of getting on/out of the car but in later builds.
