Snowconesolid Productions V2 (Relaunch + Recap)

Snowconeoslid Productions has been in limbo throughout most of 2021. Fast forward to the beginning of October and I finally started to post updates to my Twitter again. I've been busy throughout the year and have been away from the game dev scene for a while. But, that wasn't going to stop me from setting up to relaunch Snowconesolid Productions and return to game development full time. We are going to pick up where we last left off. Creating the Samer Hills game series. Today, I'm proud to announce that Snowconesolid Productions has successfully relaunched and is back in business.

With new branding, an all-new boot-up logo, a new slogan, and just all-around new. You can basically call this "Snowconesolid Productions V2." It's the start of a new chapter for the studio and this blog post will cover the relaunch and give a recap of the announcements from this month.

First, let's get right into the relaunch and check out the new boot logo for Snowconesolid Productions.

Snowconesolid Productions is a low-budget independent studio bringing you daily spooks, scares, & screams fresh from Samer Hills. Creating short novelty horror games & 3D artwork.

November Mini Direct Recap: A look into the secret tech behind Samer Khatib Games

In today's mini direct, we take you behind the scenes to show a glimpse of the secret tech that will be used in upcoming games from Snowconesolid Productions. "Advanced Samer 3D Imaging" or "AS3I" is a process that allows us to render the NEW 3D Signature Samer Style in real-time.

The "3D Signature Samer Style" or "3DSSS" refers to a unique 3D graphical art style that can only be found in works produced by Snowconesolid Productions studio This graphical look has been in development since Giraffe Town was in production & has taken nearly 2 years to perfect.

The goal from the get-go has always been to create a unique signature look that differentiates Snowconesolid Productions games from other games. A style that can't be easily replicated. Esp in real-time. Our secret weapon? The 3DSSS.

Quality. Presentation. The 2 most important principles at Snowconesolid Productions. More than just a graphical look. 3DSSS is a technical marvel. Using AS3I, we are able to render thousands of objects in real-time. The gif below is inaccurate due to compression and having to be optimized in gif format. The scene showcased below runs at a stable 60+fps in real-time.

All upcoming games use AS3I & 3DSSS with the exception of Samer Hills: Toxic Turtle. This game began development in the middle of all this and uses 2.5 Gen Samer Tech (which is a mix of giraffe town style & 3DSSS).

Pre Potato Thriller games: Gen 0

Potato Thriller: Gen 1

Giraffe Town: Gen 2

The Debug: Gen 2.5

Samer Hills Toxic Turtle: Gen 2.5

All other upcoming and new Samer Hills titles & Samer Khatib's labeled games: Gen 3

Did you enjoy this behind the scenes look at the top-secret tech & a tiny glimpse into the future of games from Snowconesolid Productions? Thanks for tuning into today's Samer Mini Direct. Check back soon for more. Lot's of cool things to come!
