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

Planned features for this software:
- Support for .fbx
- Characters (non human included)
- Animation timeline
- IK + FK for character joints
- BETTER UI DESIGN :(
- Multiple models
- Control rig
- Keyframes
- Bake model into project file (now it relies on the file path)
- Post processing editing

Sipsii00 @sipsii00.bsky.social · Jul 26

Last spam, I promise!
—————
- Move + rot: models now snap to grid
- Adjust export camera height
- Scaling
- Export sprites: 8 directions or from view
- File format support: .glb + .gltf + .obj

See comment below! :)

Rotation on Z axis is now working, next for today is position and rest of rotation editing. Making readable and not annoying gizmo is so much harder than I anticipated..

You can now export a sprite sheet!!
Took awhile to understand how blit_rect is properly used, but finally the #software actually works as intended!

Props can now be rendered into an 8 directional sprite sheet for #psx and Doom-style games

Next: animation, keyframes, Ik

For those who don’t see where I’m getting at and why I’m excited:

imagine a lightweight animation tool where you can rig and animate characters, and then export the animation into an 8 directional sprite sheet for your games

(or export the animations for #psx inspired games)

A sprite exported:

Baby steps!
Save/load, import .obj models, recent projects tab.

Slowly it’s becoming an actual application!

It’s way too early to show anything yet, but I’m currently working on a new standalone tool for my #psx gamedevs out there.

Entirely made with #godot

As a reminder, if you’re working on a Doom style boomer shooter: the asset is free and under MIT and hopefully will help you get your project moving faster! :)

(It will still get updates, I’ve not forgotten about it)

To whichever LEGEND decided to support me for my 8 directional sprite asset, I will kiss you on the forehead and read you a bed time story tonight!

You got me a coffee out of sheer kindness, damn.

It isn’t all stress and frustration with this #gamedev thing after all :)

Yeah, but I’ve been seeing more retro games made with Godot now, might be the new default choice for retro games in the future
