- Wot I Think: Tr berbrook - 15 March 2019
Developer: btf Publisher: Headup, WhisperGames Release: Out now On: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux From: Steam , GOG For: 25, $30, 30 I ve mentioned before that I love miniatures. The best part of travelling on planes is buying the teeny tiny versions of shampoo bottles that are allowed through security. It s like my shampoo at home, but smaller! So I was immediately drawn to the idea of handmade adventure games like Tr berbrook (or the still to be released Harold Halibut ). You see Tr berbrook, a point n click adventure game set in 1960s Germany, uses physical sets, in miniature, which are then magically put in your computer (using photogrammetry, but as we know any sufficiently advanced form of technology is indistinguishable from magic, so: they are magically put in your computer). They re then populated with digital characters made to look like handmade miniatures, and away you go, solvin…

After one of the characters is finished on paper, the drawings go to the technical team led by Technical Artist Hans Böhme. How did you proceed after you received a character drawing? After receiving Bennys character designs, we try to recognize and understand the the most striking features of the designs and then translate the 2d shapes to 3d ones as close as possible to the original drawings. We do this by sculpting a very detailed version of the 3d model which later gets simplified for the game. We then transfer the details of the high density mesh to the simplified 3d model by baking so called normal maps. Normal maps are textures that "fake" d…

- Handcrafted adventure game Tr berbrook released - 12 March 2019
As an admirer of dioramas and dollhouses (I once almost cried over tiny objects in a dollhouse shop, which tragically would’ve seemed like an apocalyptic monsoon for the wee people), I have a soft spot for handcrafted games and so have kept an eye on Tr berbrook . The adventure game is set in a German village the developers made by hand, a collection of sets and scenes built on a diddy scale from crafting materials. I mean, I am also interested in it being an adventure game with a spooky sci-fi story set during the Cold War, but really I’m here for the sets. Though it’ll be a real bonus if the story-o-puzzling is good and all. (more…)

But of course that's not enough for a proper video game character. This update will focus on how they got their unique looks (including: face, body and of course their own style to dress). So let's get Benjamin Denkert on board, who worked with Game Director Florian on the individual looks in long sessions, then finely handcrafted them with pencil and brought the characters of Trüberbrook to life. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32141951%2F2a092a3a6674b411f2627f31fd84b71d9117aa83.jpg Hey Benny, could you give us a little insight into your work life?
