Half-Life inspired flashlight test 🔦 #indiegame

quick oldschool material test in photoshop in the vein of the goldsrc mod work i was doing in the mid 00s, just photoshop filters & basic round brush used, all mouse work. 250x150px & truecolour (though it looks nearly identical with a 256 colour palette as the HL1 engine would use)

Got vertex colors from the ground projecting onto the player to simulate light 🎨 Vertex colors were baked/painted by hand in Blender so there are no Unity lights in this scene aside from a single directional light to cast some subtle shadow on the players arms #indiedev #unity

New french combat boots & holster, lizard camo, and some other visual polish 👽 #indiedev

I cut a window into Collier's room in LVL 08 - so you don't have to talk to a locked door anymore. I also spent a million hours getting the lighting just right so I hope ya'll appreciate it 🫠 #DERELIKT
