At this point, I’m more or less comfortable calling the animation system done. It’s way better, now, than what I had before, and should make implementing animations I devise for any other entities super quick and easy. Among the biggest…
Last week’s estimates proved to be overly optimistic. The animation system, which I had hoped and expected would only take two or three days, ended up absorbing all of my effort this week. The good news is that it all…
This is a kind of boring week to talk about. Don’t get me wrong, I got a lot done, but the stuff I’ve been working on is all architectural foundational stuff leading up to developing a robust and flexible entity…
Well, the crouch attack animation ended up being much more work than I had previously anticipated. I had expected it to take a day or two to get it finished and implemented, but it ended up taking the better part…
Well, it’s been a really weird and depressing week, but not actually too bad in terms of productivity. I’m still mired in animation work, but the light is definitely starting to show at the end of the tunnel! First, I…
Around this time last week, I discussed how games have a hard time portraying the unreliability of memories because this erodes the player’s ability to trust the information they’re receiving from the game. I’ve been thinking about that, and it…
Weird week. Lots of stress coming from lots of different places in my life, lots of missteps, lots of doubt. Sometimes that’s just how it goes I guess. Well, first thing’s first. I finished the running attack animation. Here’s what…
Sitting in front of my computer at night, I can perfectly envision the reaction – the overlap, the rejection, the vector of projection, the object of collision – but I can’t make it happen quite the way I want. It’s always…
Well, for the most part it was just another week of hammering away at collision problems. I actually feel like I’m making steady progress on that front: The character tracks the surface of slopes mostly correctly now, and I actually…
It’s been an odd week. It kind of feels like almost no time has passed at all since the last DevBlog update. Being inside my head sometimes is like some kind of reverse Narnia where I spend what feels like…
