For the "inner circle" only 💢 Work is in full swing. This is just a small snippet, as I was asked to show something. There’s no time for editing or explanations. Work is underway on invisibility, interfaces, loadout screens, lighting, and item crafting panels.

Things are moving forward.

A detailed overview and recommendations will follow later. 💫

I’ve finished the preliminary work on the model file converters for the game Freelancer (2003). The list of issues I encountered turned out to be massive 💨 Back in the early 2000s, they were working with outdated development systems and writing literally everything into a single file... Still, the people who built it are amazing!

This wonderful summer, I decided to revamp the design and functionality of the Lizerium portal. A massive amount of work went into revisiting every page, modal window, and form to create a more modern and intuitive interface for the user (you).

1. Added the Community page

2. Added a download source selection option to the app download page
3. Added a category for utilities and useful apps to the download page, along with links to a dozen programs created for the development of Lizerium and Freelancer-style products
4. The news section now supports video playback via platforms like YouTube, Rutube, and VK, and can display full-length articles, news updates, or short video announcements

Today, Lizerium launched a new address: lizerium.com

Previously, the portal operated exclusively on lizup.ru. That domain isn't going anywhere and will continue to function as before; the game launchers, legacy links, and parts of the project's ecosystem are already tied to it.

However, I had long wanted Lizerium to have a dedicated international address. English language support was added to the portal last year - allowing users to switch languages ​​directly on the site, in the launchers, and on the server - yet the project still lacked a proper .com domain.

Lizerium - Installation [Russian | English]🙏

Supported systems:

• Windows 7
• Windows 10
• Windows 11

A trailer showcasing the development of the Lizerium product ecosystem ahead of the release of Freelancer Lizerium version 99.5

Full-scale game development. Check out how I created planet generation for Lizerium using Unity HDRP!

I also produced a short trailer showcasing a logo reveal inspired by Marvel Studios' «Avengers» style. My workflow involved Blender, Unity (with the HDRP pipeline), and Adobe Substance Painter. Lizerium is a game in the vein of Freelancer (2003), No Man's Sky, and EVE Online. I am developing this game entirely on my own. It is an indie project featuring a vast space environment with a full range of possibilities and multiple integrated gameplay genres.
