Hey guys!
I wanted to share with you some initial captures from my game when I originally created it.
Raw renders, basic generic light, folliage placement and couple of assets I made. At that point I was exploring the way on how to create and sculpt the entire map first before start planning other things.
There is gonna be more and hope you like it!
I think its cool to see how different the game looked back at those days compare to how it is now.
Thank you all for your support, guys! means a lot!
As you can tell, it was rough as hell! but that was the point of start experimenting with the tools provided and playing around with whatever assets I had in hand. Back then I started totally clueless on unreal4 and by watching youtube video tutorials I managed to set my foot in and jump right onto it! it was fun, even without knowing what I was really doing.
nowadays the game has reached a very satisfying progress, all things considered and the fact I work on it all by my own while working full time freelance artist and trying to balance life. Im excited to be sharing much more updates with you on the way!
Thank you guys for checking!

The Unreal 4 Engine is just incredible. Care to share some links to the best tutotirals you found on YouTube?
I've been having a play with some 3D modelling stuff on and off for ... the last ten years or so, and have always wanted to make a highly detailed, world for people to explore, that at the same time tells a story through its landscape alone.
Your screenshots make me think you're well advanced in this journey, and I would be super interested in seeing you share the creative process more!
Followed so I can... uh... follow your progress.
If you need beta-testers at a future point in time, let me know, I used to review video games professionally. :) Now I just blog about them here!

hello there! totally agree, I love it!! I also want a similar approach, telling a story via visual cues and lore, design of the world, etc. I believe the lore and culture of the world can add lots of depth. Current pics on the post do not reflect that as it was the start of the project almos thalf year ago and you can only see hints of a civilization on my latest updates.
I would love to share my youtube playlist for unreal4 tuts that have helped me tremendously!

Also, thank you for following me here on steemit! It will be my most pleasure to be sharing any new stuff with you guys. I have found a very supportive and welcoming audience /friends here to discuss and talk about art matters and more. Also, as for beta testers! YES!absolutely! I will be needing that eventually! sadly Im no programmer or real dev so I try to learn anytihng possible via trial and error and following online tutorials to make my passion true. All the best, Manthos PS. :would love to see anything of yours as well, if you like to share!

Even the rough as hell version looks pretty good :) And looking back is always good especially when you're feeling stuck in a rut so you can see just how much progress you've actually made right :D

I decided to be super risky and crazy ambitious and..make a simple game all by myself with zero dev knowledge haha, I gotta say..its quite the challenge..Im primary an industry concept artist /3d /2d so I been implementing my knowledge and experience at the art department, conceptualizing and world building. Hopefully it turns out good and wont explode, or crash other peoples pc lol ! I appreciate the support and please, by all means stay tuned as I will be regularly posting more and more updates and new stuff! Manthos

All your environment shots are good looking, Manthos :). Some of them might be a bit blurry or stark on some areas but I'm sure you can finetune them later on after you finish with the whole asset creation.
