a lot of work done on the character controller but probably still a few more days to complete its overhaul. notably, I changed the dive from root motion to act more like traditional jump. it consist of three separate animations, a begin, a looping middle, and an end. This way the distance of the jump can be configurable…
Had to take a break from the enviro stuff my hands were hurting from it, so I knocked out a bunch of short coding task and also made a few additional outfits for hero, in addition to improving the textures. Will be working on second pass at enemy character models and then animations in coming weeks before finishing out…
Short update just since it has been awhile: I moved most of the major classes in the game to c++ so that it is easier to refactor into the future. I still prefer blueprints for speed but if you want to do something like move a bunch of delegates to a separate class it is a big problem to do that in blueprint. It took a…
@iam717 thanks for feedback! that dive animation is still using my initial "just get it working" attempt. should be able to get it looking better with another go at it in future(hopefully). main thing is that i want it to feel like a hail-mary, "i dont want to get shot today" combat dive, and not an overly-choreographed…
Nothing too add, other than it sure looks like you'd piled on a load of work so take back what I shared earlier - anyhow may the game gods smile on this and your other dev project, too B) OT: Btw if you don't mind, been searching for a UE4..2x download for ages but can't seem to find it anywhere, even on epic's site....so…
Didn't feel like starting new character yet, instead took some more passes on the main character. This is just sort of a concept made by frankensteining parts from other characters together: I think the basic idea works, though I'll probably just do leather gladiator sandals as bronze greaves feel too heavy. I might not…
Project review: Getting close to six month review. I make a full review after completing my next milestone but a few short notes might be worth sharing here. In previous six months I have:* completed prototype, which tested out a few combat mechanics and discarded many ideas to focus on a focused ranged-only design *…
Past few days been animating like crazy but it's not stuff I will show because spoilers, just a snippet. I have been working on cut scenes that happen before and after boss battle. The only reason I do this now is because the student doing music (for his final project) needs to have something to show along with the tracks…
Okay, no new art, but some thoughts about marketing that might be something to think about even for other artist if they are thinking about how to market themselves with portfolio. So I will start making some youtube devlogs because the common advice is to get started with marketing as soon as possible. Since the game…
Did you think about first person camera? Painkiller, Dark Messiah and Thief come to mind as FPS with projectile based weapons. Any gameplay aspects that make it neccessary to be a third person camera? I imagine switching has potential to reduce the amount of work: less player anims, room for fakery, less camera struggles…
