¡Hola a todos!
Welcome to our second Devblog here on Steam, where we will show the public for the first time the new model for "The Priest", one of the main enemies of La Salamanca, along with a little information about the character.
Who's The Priest?
The Priest is one of the enemies, if not THE main enemy of "La Salamanca". He falls under the "Stalker" Enemy category, where there is one particular enemy that always follows the player throughout the game. The Priest will behave this way, searching for the player during almost every level.
If you have played the Demo,this is the enemy that appears multiple times and chases you at the end of the Demo. In the full game, the Priest will appear at key moments in the story to search for the player throughout the level, and it is during these moments when the player must try not to be spotted by hiding in different places, either behind a pile of boxes, under a table or even inside a closet.
The Priest's origins are... uncertain. Some believe that he was once a very Christian person, who was corrupted by someone or something, probably related to this place. Others, that he is a demon from La Salamanca itself... but, why would he take the form of a Priest then...? In order to know more about who The Priest really is and his history, you will have to investigate on your own in the full game ;).
Sneak-Peak of the new 3D Model for The Priest
The current model found in the game is a free Asset created by Serhat Yucekaya, which despite being of very good quality, this model is only a "placeholder", to be able to show something before that the new design made especially for the game was ready. Today we are going to give you a preview of this new design with its 3D model made by Exequiel Devoto.
This new model made by shows a much more "Demonic" version of the Priest, with multiple eyes and horns. Inspired by characters like Mr. X or Nemesis from Resident Evil, with Christian elements such as the priest's robe or hanging rosaries (not present in the images shown).
It should be noted that the model is not finished, since it is only the base of the model, but we believe that it is more than enough to be able to show it to you and so that you can get a good idea of what is coming. The model is not implemented in the game yet either, this is just a preview, when the model is finished and implemented in the game we will show it on our networks or even in a possible new Demo...
Finally, we want to thank Exequiel Devoto for giving us the opportunity to work with him, and to be able to bring the Priest to the game as God? intended!
That's all!
We hope you have enjoyed this Devblog, and that you stay tuned for the coming months, as very interesting and important things are coming for the project.
See you in the next Devblog!
