Another VTuber project from earlier this year, this was a personal project where my goal was to learn applying realistic face tracking to a non human character.
This was a commissioned project of a Twilight Princess inspired 3D VTubing avatar. My first time creating a VTuber, so I learnt a lot and enjoyed bringing the character to life!
Recently completed VTuber commission of a cute little Jerboa Knight! Was a pleasure to work on such a fun character and I learnt a couple of new things about stylized shaders and rendering along the way.
Hi everyone.
With Mole just about close to a month until it's iPhone release I wanted to show my thought process in how I went about designing Mole.

Kotaku AU have reported that Melbourne games developer, Infinite Interactive, had shed a quarter of their staff today. Infinite Interactive CEO, Steve Fawkner, responded with a more correct figure and the reasons behind the reduction in staff numbers.

First off I’ll disclaim that as far as my experience at GCAP is concerned I was only a exhibitor. I didn’t attend any of the keynotes or talks. I sat in at the Mole table 90% of the time. The rest was spent talking to people and playing the other indie games.
Play our GCAP submission of Mole!
I noticed was that the event was quite small. Not to many stalls apart from the 9 indie games on display. I have to give props to 2K Australia for putting a stall up there and having so many of their…
