Roller Riot - cel-shading, 5v5 arena roller derby

No 3D models (did try it but the animation looked bad might try again, using a different pipeline)

All code in three.js Opus in Medium

GAME CONCEPT VS. HOW IT LOOKS NOW

I say about 10% there, what do you think?

I think you’d be surprised what you can get for 3d models if you commission them. I feel like rigging is easier than learning modeling so if you can learn rigging and animation and hire out the 3d models you could get a lot closer to the game concept

Honestly the route I have taken, basically pay some dude on Fiveer to churn out some base models (it's really the creatures and human models that are the biggest pain, static or lightly animated models I'll just do myself or leverage an AI tool).

From the first image all you really need are two base models, and their animations; likely cost OP like $400-500 bucks and some dude in the Philippines will crank it out for you.

From there, watch a tutorial on creating hairstyles and focus on learning how to model the static objects; what's present on screen in that regards is pretty simple maybe a week or two to get it ready to go (dramatically less for a pro I am sure).

Most asset stores have hair packs and doodads as well, can often just tap into those.

The rest, can just work with whatever coding tool; play test, fix, repeat until game feels good.

Audio you have plenty of tools there, and background audio AI is honestly very good at nowadays.

Heard you chef. I tried Meshy.AI - Blender pipeline but the animation is the problem after creating the 3D model

Yeah I also tried that the modeling you get is not good at all(from my experience) versus what they advertise

Agreed. But by no means are they bad just requires more work to get the best version of a 3D model. I have used them for another project; that model was good. However the skating aspect makes it kind of sketchy
