UPDATES. UPDATES EVERYWHERE.
The team at Illfonic have been hard at work, and our Friday internal playtests have been going exceedingly well because of it all.
Below we have a screenshot of some in-progress work on the character shader in UE4. The shaders help our already great character models look even better, by making skin look more real and improves the overall appearance of them.
Now, it's time to check out the latest Jason being added to the game.
Jason Concept Art from Part VI: Jason Lives
Friday the 13th: Part 6 marks the first appearance of undead Jason in the films. It was an important moment in the franchise, and now we're doing our damnedest to recreate him for Friday the 13th: The Game. Soon you'll be able to get up close and personal with the man behind the mask.
This Jason model was particularly tough to get right due to the lack of high-res reference images and full body shots with the undermask/makeup. Thanks to many of our partners, cohorts and fans, we've been able to accurately construct Jason to the highest level of detail possible. Hopefully we've helped do our part to preserve a piece of horror and pop culture history!
Now let's jump in and meet our new counselor!
New Counselor Concept Art (Rocker Chick)
Say hi to A.J. Mason! She's a tough as nails rocker, who doesn't take shit from anyone. Her high Composure stat makes her perfect for maintaining her cool when Jason shows up and starts murdering counselors. She's able to slink around, hiding to survive, with a high Stealth stat as well.
New Virtual Cabin Update
We're unlocking the Kitchen and the Bathroom for exploration. Be sure to examine everything you come across, as you never know what you might find...
If you are hankering to dive into the Virtual Cabin yourself, pick one up today on BackerKit and see what all the fuss is about.
Enjoy your time exploring the cabin!
