Apart from making armors and in-game items our 3D Modellers spend a lot of time on character design.
We have already received numerous questions about whether it would be possible to customize a character's appearance. Well, the answer is yes! Our players will be able to choose their characters' sex, race, hair color and facial features. Diversity matters!
Here we would like to show you several 3D models. Please note that this is not a full set of models. We are going to add some more of them, so that they will be available for players after official release of the game.

3D Modellers present: Workbenches of different kinds
Crafting is quite a remarkable feature of the Ancient Siberia game. We have prepared tons of different recipes for all aspiring craftsmen. Though, it needs to be mentioned, that not only numerous resources are required for crafting some valuable items, but also different benches and working stations.
Here you can see a few sketches. That's how the benches were meant to look:

And that's how the stations actually look like in the game.

Sailing in Ancient Siberia
Every player of the Ancient Siberia game will be able to build their own ship by upgrading their character up to a certain level.
Sailing the ship is the only way to move from the land to water. Owning a vessel allows a player to take part in the big sea battles, to find rare resources and even become a pirate.
Game developers are going to create three types of rafts and three different ships. All the vessels will be available to craft by the players.
3D Modellers present: Armors
Our creative department includes skilfull 2D and 3D artists. The work scheme is quitу plain and simple at the first sight. Concept artists create some sketches depicting the general outline of the future items (clothes, armors, weapons, in-game objects). When approved, these sketches are handed to the 3D Modellers and the magic begins!
Modellers start with basic forms and step by step add some volume, depth, and masses. Once the model looks fine, it's time to add some texture and colour. This phase is very important, because badly made textures can ruin even the best model. Fortunately, it's not a problem for us — our modellers are professionals and they pay attention to every single detail.
Working on characters' appearances includes designing different kinds of clothes and armors. Today we would like to show you some sets of light and heavy armors.
Armors
For those, who chose the path of a warrior, we have made several sets of light and heavy armors.
Light armors are made of leather:
Here you can see the plain model of the mail armor:
And that's how it looks when it's finished:
This set of heavy armors is a masterpiece, isn't it?
Ancient Siberia development is well underway!
There is not much time left until the official release of the game.
By now our game developers have corrected critical graphic bugs and improved the character animation. Also our team has switched to the new version of the Unity Engine.
At the moment we are building our own community dedicated to the Ancient Siberia game. Developers tend to defer to the players' opinions and requests for the gameplay, game mechanics and the characters’ appearance.
