Low-Poly FPS

Low-poly FPS refers to first person shooter games that use a low polygon count 3D art style. Some key things to note:

• Low polygon count – The 3D models and environments in the game use relatively few polygons, giving them a more angular and simplified look compared to high-polygon games. This can make for a distinctive artistic style.

• First-person shooter – The game is played from a first person perspective and focuses on shooting gameplay. The player sees the world through the eyes of the character they control.

• Range of complexity – Low-poly FPS games range from indie titles with retro/minimalist aesthetics to more complex AAA games that still use a low-poly art style for a unique visual identity.

• Performance benefits – The lower polygon count can improve performance on consoles, mobile and older PCs compared to higher polygon count games.

Examples of low-poly FPS games include:

• Cuboid Warriors – A low-poly online multiplayer FPS
• Minecraft – While not a traditional FPS, the low-poly blocky visuals of Minecraft do allow first person shooter gameplay modes.
• Hyper Light Drifter – An action RPG with first person shooting elements and a low-poly retro graphic style.
• Borderlands – The cel-shaded graphics and angular character models give Borderlands a low-poly aesthetic.
• Stormland – An Oculus VR game with a low-poly art style and FPS gameplay.

1. Choose a low poly art style – Decide on a simplistic, angular low poly aesthetic for your character models, weapons, environments, etc. This will give your game a distinctive retro/modern look.

2. Create character models – Make low poly character models for your player character and any enemies. Try to keep the polygon count fairly low, around 500-1000 polygons. Use simple shapes like cubes, spheres and cylinders.

3. Add animations – Animate your character models for walking, running, jumping, firing weapons, reloading, dying etc. Simple animations will work best for the low poly style.

4. Create weapons – Model some low poly weapons like pistols, rifles, shotguns. Keep them simple in shape but try to make them visually distinct from each other.

5. Make environments – Build basic low poly environments like corridors, rooms, outdoor areas for your levels. Try to keep polygon counts low and avoid excessive detail.

6. Import to Unity – Import your 3D assets into Unity and assign materials, textures and animations. Set up layers and tags for player, enemies and weapons.

7. Configure FPS controller – Attach a First Person Controller to your player character. Configure the movement speed, camera position etc.

8. Add AI enemies – Add AI controllers to your enemy characters to make them patrol, pursue the player and shoot their weapons.
