The solo indie game developer known as Hat Hair Games is making a 2.5D Metroidvania indie called "Reclamation" using real clay sculptures. "Assets are hand sculpted and 3D scanned using an efficient, state of the art photogrammetry pipeline of my own design for a truly unique visual appearance." You can watch the full trailer in 4K on YouTube and find out where to keep up with development: https://lnkd.in/eKBnmyYi.

Mega-talented 3D artist/solo indie game developer todoMpp has now shared a crocodile character to go with their rabbit, owl, and wolf.

You can see the other characters in action on todoMpp's Bluesky: https://lnkd.in/e5EeMDNf.
