Description
These are commonplace Londoners who fall victim to Jekyll's serum. The Creepers are the lighter-faster enemies.
We are aiming to get some variaion within baddie types.
They all look great, but I love the third one especially. If you want some more variation, maybe do one with a butchers apron and hat + meat cleaver? Could work although you would probably need more animations for that.
So whats cool is we can drive the flappy bits of any accessory or what-have-you with PhysX or whatever physics solver the September UDK is using.
Whats even cooler, is that we plan on having these hats/mustaches/weapon be randomly chosen when the baddie spawns. Which raises some more questions about designing the costume for modularity. But i think randomization will suit the game.
Nice bit of thought - the spawn randomizations. So you'll simply be using a base time - period costume and going from there.
This would also work well with one of too often ignored baddie classes, women. Always a bit ( morally ) creepier in my opinion. I see you have one, but what were your thoughts as to including a female character into this class as well ?
I did ponder that. It will be tricky though. I want to share the rig/animations between all of the Creep types. Period dress for women is going to require another skeleton, as driving an entire dress with physx is not practical.
Any ideas, as I think its a good idea to do have the women in this baddie class.
