As a side note if you've got SOMA installed the supersecret.rar in the game's folder contains tonnes of concept art (inc the character's in this thread), design documents, level plans, some WIP footage and so on; definitely check it out! (The file has a password you can get by playing the game or through google...)
Additionally all of the game's meshes are in .dae format in the game's folder, nothing seems to be hidden away from the curious mind, which makes a great learning resource. The frictional people are awesome like that.
These lil guys were initially modeled by Jeremy Smith and I created the textures and updated them with the Quixel Suite 2 beta
They're a few more images on my Artstation
Awesome work!
So weird complimenting work that's meant to be horrifying. Its like "Yes, I was absolutely disgusted; even threw up a little. Great job!"
As expected though these are all really well executed models, especially transitions between organic and mechanical parts. Unnervingly good.
Absolutely agree on this! Sound design is really nice, very creative use of it. Whish more AAA paid more attention to sound!
Btw, game's website is down: http://somagame.com/
while I haven't played through the whole thing yet, I'm a couple of hours in, and there hasn't yet been a jump scare.
There are definitely some "Oh crap, run!" moments, though.
wana play that game now. Never played a horror game before.
At one point I found myself stuck on a blocked staircase with hoof foot guy in front of me, I couldn't escape and he couldn't get me so I shone my flashlight in his 'face'
But yeah when I got a better look at him it only made it worse. Most tense part in the game for me, again nice job
