<p>Lots of progress on the 3D models! I modelled the first weapon for the game, the N5 Blaster, from start to finish!</p>
<p>The earliest version was based on an 8-sided cylinder. After some feedback from friends, I remade the weapon, using a 16-sided cylinder, and also adding more details to the weapon overall. More attention went into the grip, which now resembled a weapon grip more so than a stick.</p>

<p>Here's an overview of the first model.</p>

<p>The final version of the weapon layers a black wireframe on top of the icosphere, so that in the game it's a bit more clearly visible that it rotates, and it uses smooth shading. I was against using smooth shading initially, as I wanted to go for a low-poly artstyle, but I think that approach just looked a bit cheap, considering my 3D models aren't exactly high-quality by themselves. Smooth shading gives the impression of smooth, high-poly models at a significant reduction in vertices.</p>

<p>Here's the icon for the N5 Blaster that's to be used in the quick select menu, the item menu, and the HUD. The icon will be tinted in different colours when the weapon has been levelled up.</p>
<p>In my first attempt at creating this icon, I took a picture of the wireframed icosphere that's in the weapon, and I tried to vectorise it using Inkscape. That didn't work the way I wanted, so I hand-traced all the lines from the icosphere. I was confused as to why it's not symmetrical, but I later realised that that's just how the icosphere looks.</p>

<p>I also continued work on the battle axe, giving it more character. It's still not close to being finished, but it's now a bit less of a rough draft.</p>

<p>I will admit though that I'm unsure whether I'll actually stick with the battle axe as the protagonist's main melee weapon.</p>
<p>Another idea, though more as an unlockable extra, is Derek the crowbar.</p>

<p>I also worked on the upgrade for the N5 Blaster, the N5 Cannon. Progress on that one has been a bit slow, since I have yet to figure out what kind of weapon I want the upgraded version to be.</p>

<p>And, as a bonus, here's the discarded, very-early-WIP draft I created for a rifle-type weapon. I don't think this type of weapon fits the type of game I'm making.</p>

<p>And a draft of a rocket launcher with 9 barrels! This is heavily inspired by the <a href="https://ratchetandclank.fandom.com/wiki/R.Y.N.O._(2002_game)">R.Y.N.O. from Ratchet & Clank</a>. It's coloured blue because I was investigating issues with the mesh's normals at the time.</p>

<h2>A Star is Born</h2>
<p>I begun modelling my protagonist! I didn't progress far, as I currently lack a vision for where I really want my character to go in detail. I have slight ideas – inspirations are, for example, <a href="https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Merc_and_Green">Merc & Green from Ratchet: Gladiator</a>, and <a href="denholm.webp">Denholm Reynholm</a>. I quite liked the idea of having glowing tubes on the character's back; I got the inspiration from a Blender tutorial that was randomly recommended to me one morning.</p>

<h2>My Best Friend JSON</h2>
<p>It might seem simple (or look complicated), but I came up with the idea of creating a JSON-based lookup table for the weapon metadata. Using this, it's quite easy to retrieve any kind of information about any kind of weapon without needing to hardcode it into the weapon itself. Here's an early screenshot of the lookup table.</p>
