Revisiting weapon system, more specifically ’aiming’

It’s surprisingly hard getting an aiming mode working reliably together with every other player system, without bugs

Also: canted aiming!

This is fire! Does it support nearest filtering? If so I’m sold

How to avoid getting bottles chucked at you

Step 1: Refuse the urge to join their cult
Step 2: Join anyway
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

Yea, the throwing animation speed and my Ubisoft trailer input reaction time is purely for demonstrating purpose!

The player has a dodging ability similar to Dying Light so this encounter is fully avoidable :)

They can now throw things at you, The Last of Us style.

Inspired by their E3 trailer (and ILL), NPC’s can now pickup objects and throw at you to disorient you

A collab between IKEA and Sims is a truly missed opportunity

I get the angle based on the Dot vector product between the location of the player and the sprite, then DegAcos for the actual angle float. To switch angle sprites visually, it’s really just a couple of if statements based on certain thresholds!

Here’s the source code :)

Thank you! :)

Doing some 2.5D ragdoll physics today

It’s a blend between my previous IK logic, Reagera, and actual #ue5 physics.
So far it works great, but still a bit lackluster in actual ragdoll animations.

I feel this is a problem for future me

Thank you! 😎

Been redoing the looting containers for a more diegetic approach. So far it feels smooth but snappy, which is what I want.

I think it will mesh together nicely with the other diegetic systems!

Oh and this is Lumen btw!

This is someone who keeps sneaking in front of my feet everyday, imagining he’s David trying to conquer Goliath. I love this weird little rat to death, but my hair can only get so gray.

Similar to @freya.bsky.social I think cats and math is a match made in heaven :)

Love seeing more game dev stuff <3

If you don’t want to eat the grass, it’s not crunchy enough

While working on my ”A-life type system”, I realised when the NPCs go into their offline state my poor little froggies loose their sense of direction.

And there goes the rest of my day..

Hey! Where’d you run off to? I’m missing your game in my feed!

Feels good to FINALLY sit down and properly do some capsule art for the #Steam page. I feel I’ve been putting it off because these will actually define my artstyle, which is terrifying, but this feels right.

One step closer to that scary green button

I guess I have to see it as an opportunity to redo the work but more properly. Now I know how I did it, now I can redo it better

PSA: regularly backup your goddamn projects. Use version control, or just raw dog duplicate the whole project.

I just lost a month of big, and small, changes because of one corrupted file. In an attempt to restore that file, I had to recommit older stuff.

Obviously shotgun1 and 2 are by this point old versions of the weapon system, which throws errors and crashes by just looking at it, but you can’t delete them because they hold some code functions you might need later because you keep forgetting how you did that last time..

Introducing 2.5D inverse kinematics

Is it necessary? no.
Is it worthwhile? idk.

(it’s also in full 8 directional Doom mode)

PARKOUR?! PARKOUR!

I’m beginning to feel like this game wants to be ”Dying Light but Stalker: Anomaly”

And I like it

Here’s with a wall jump!

Introducing some verticality via free running movement. Beginning to feel smooth and grounded without feeling ”floaty”

How did I miss #UE5 built-in screenshot command?!

Now I can go from 1080p to 5k resolution, Steam store page is going to be crisp

First draft of the official reveal trailer is finally done, this is harder to finish than I’d like. I now actually have to set the style of the game, sigh..

Here’s some screenshots

And the video got butchered because of the compression.

Here’s a screenshot from the video

Back to foliage again, it’s so godamn hard to nail correctly. Either the colors are off or they hurt my eyes because of the retro shader
