A short post this month for the end of 2024, this time again from our lead artist who previously wrote about the Lobo, the Mar Nosso SWAT vehicle and the spacer redesign. This post is about a few new vehicles assets recently added to the game.
Earlier this year we put out an alpha of Brigador Killers over on Itch. We learned a lot of good lessonsone lesson being that the game world felt empty between playable vehicles. It was time to add a lot more civilian vehicles to Brigador Killers, starting with smaller ones.
Many of the fan favorites in Brigador were small, so we knew the Tuk Tuk had to come back, and we already had a motorcycle. What else fits into that category? I wanted an electric scooter, and some kind of goofy small commuter car.
Teddy Boy
A freely-styled, loud, sort of 80s/90s scooter which I named Teddy Boy, partly because I think the jokingly Italian scooter names in games are tired, partly as a nod to the underground fashion style in the UK of the mid 20th century, and partly as an echo of the fan-christened Pantry Boy from Brigador: Up-Armored Edition. Heres how it looks in-engine.
Liliputter
For a small commuter, I looked no further than the deeply charming and goofy Comuta-Car of the late 70s/early 80s, one of the first widely available electric cars. Exaggerating its small scale, I turned it from a two seater into a single seat vehicle. Below is the Liliputter in action in GIF form.
An aside on the process
Sometime last year I moved all of my hard surface modeling to a program called Plasticity, and it was an incredible gain in speed. Now it was time to revamp our rendering pipelinenot for the sprites, but some new way to show off items and vehicles in the game with close-up beauty renders. Blender and image-based rendering came to the rescue, as per this tutorial: [previewyoutube=APmw2Q8kBOM;full][/previewyoutube] Following this tutorial I had my new template for beauty renders. The added bonus is that once the game is out, we will include this render scene for modders. This means that any gun or vehicle you add to the game can use exactly the same rendering!
The Tuk Tuk
As mentioned earlier, heres the return of the Tuk Tuk, which now comes in multiple configurations:
Like with the other new additions, here is the lineup within Brigador Killers.
