[@ricogt7092]

I just want you to know that I am more invested in what you are cooking up than most AAA studios your project is truly something special

[@SilkroadProjectGame]

Haha! Thank you, I appreciate the support!

[@DeniedWorks]

The art style is nuts and the animations and everything are super clean

[@MJPDesigns]

Happy new year. I hope you have an amazing 2025 as well. It has really been awesome to follow along this project and see all the amazing work you've been putting in. I've been enjoying your approach to the environment side of things a lot. Keep up the amazing work and again, have a good year

[@HummadNazir]

This looks sick

[@elsoul7204]

Happy new year ! I hope you find your balance with your art style! "Inspired fantasy" a genre that has been either severely lacking or uninspired lately I already said it in the past, but i really like your rendering of desert area ! (Funny, but the ultra detailed area at 7:15 doesnt move me at all, while i prefer lower poly)

[@SilkroadProjectGame]

I'm glad you like the desert area, I'll try to make the whole game with that looks

[@wichrom8096]

You Cooking Good!

[@SilkroadProjectGame]

[@Yuma-Mukai]

This game is going to be a benger

[@dipennapit6695]

I want to learn too. what tools you use for animation and making games.?thanks for inspiring

[@SilkroadProjectGame]

Thank you! I'm using a lot of tools to make games: - Unreal Engine - Blender - Houdini - ZBrush - Substance painter & designer - Cascadeur - Krita

[@loreleimelodei]

very excited to see more of your progress just wanted to mention here that the game is not available on steam in germany because it doesn't have an age rating, would be great if you could change that (should be just an easy form you have to fill out afaik)

[@SilkroadProjectGame]

Oh! Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realize the lack of age rating could block the page in some countries

[@abdoulraoufgambo]

Why not go with normal maps over Nanite? It will run better

[@honorandpowergaming]

The art style they are going for probably won't benefit from Normal Maps as much.

[@SilkroadProjectGame]

There's two main reason why I decided to go with nanite: - Nanite usually looks better, especially for silhouette definition. Things like rocks or small architectural details looks better when it's actual geometry. Shadows are also better because of self shadowing too. - In term of production, it's usually quicker to create Nanite assets. Modeling a low poly, and baking a normal map can be time consuming, and using nanite only actually helps me save time that I can spend on creating more assets and let me be more flexible. I'm also trying to look forward in future. I don't plan to have a release of the game in the next two year, at least, so I'm also betting on the fact it will be more robust in a couple of year.

[@ExploreSweden]

@@SilkroadProjectGame Those are are some good points! Game looks sick

[@SilkroadProjectGame]

@@ExploreSweden Thank you!
