Returning with updates (VanHelsing)! (sketches and stuff)


Hello everybody! Sorry for the absense.. I’m working on a project with just "enthusiasm" as payment, so I had to take a break for 4 months, to grind my finances, and now I’m freer again to work and continue.

But I am very happy that I took such a break. During this time, I came up with so many things for the game (but I won't make it too long, after all, Van Helsing is a prelude to the main Steel Frost game) and polished a lot. It breathes with life now which is so good to see (well..as good as looking at something unfinised and made of notes sketches, scenes and random music tracks)

Here are a couple of sketches and pieces of game lore, work is in full swing again!


1) One of promo pictures of VanHelsing (at the end of his morning run, probably). He has longer hair...he is just really good at styling it well. He's a little insane and Basil the hacker-ish geek is his only friend and support. His (i still don't know what to name it) that device-Pip Boy-like thing on his arm can check his condition, stimulate the process, heal him a little, give an adrenaline boost, and so on. Basil is connected to that device and can do some stuff through it and check Helsing's condition



2) The servants of order, who in the past were used as military robots. After the revolution of the androids, who eventually won and received rights on equal terms with humans, a lot of them work in the police. They agreed that replacing their intimidating military look with one that was more "sweet and human-readable, but not too uncanny valley" would be a better solution.

To a comical and satirical extent, according to all the canons of cyberpunk, haha!

After androids received equal rights with humans, they did not become freer. They, just like everyone else, are used by corporations, making money from them, getting them hooked on various products, junk food and other “benefits of humanity.”




I will definitely make couple of short videos with effects for youtube channel too as i finish these. 

Feel free to join my Patreon, if you want, to follow the development and other stuff that i post here (check out my Twitter to see what i usually post, haha)

PPS:

Oh...by the way. I just noticed that Steel Frost/Van Helsing genre is "frostpunk"! It's the second frostpunk genre game after "Frostpunk" the game? i guess?

Hi Vince! I hope everything goes well in development, I can't wait to play the game! BTW, the morning run sketch is hot, really wish I could draw such a handsome daddy like that.

Hello thank you so much, you motivate me a lot.

The development is going well and without any problems-everything about it makes me very excited. I just have to get distracted to do some job-stuff sometimes.

Oh believe me there will be lots of daddies in this game!

Ooh! Love frostpunk!

Same! Im сurious if this title can be used as a genre. (like steampunk or dieselpunk) The world of Steel Frost is also affected by low temperatures - there is a lot of lore about that and i can't wait to show it in the game

Oh I'm almost 100% sure it can

What is a frostpunk genre even. I guess that movie "The Thing" can be called frostpunk for example. Or a Snowpiercer movie and show.
