Gargoyles Comic and Animated Show Fan, I read a lot of comics and play way too many #ttrpg - Sr Tech Artist by day and indie gamedev at night. Long time Crystal Palace supporter. All posts are my own.
One task that takes up so much time is creating animations for the characters. Since this is a Third Person game, getting the correct placeholder animations also means making the animations myself if possible. A long process that is worth it in the end. #indiegamedev

Captain Future, Starcom, Voltes V, and Gatchaman are some of my favorite. #anime #indiegamedev

Overview video of retargeting a Mixamo animation in Houdini to export. I needed to add a root bone to the rig until I get something proper added. Now I can add animation layers to the existing mocap if needed. #indiegamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK22...

Why would anybody upload their backup autosave files to source control? Why? Just upload the file, isn't this the whole point of source control? Also, please stop numbering your files, we have source control. Just a friendly reminder. #gamedev

Currently implementing Vaulting over objects and just realized my skeleton does not have a root bone since I am just using proxy anims. Created a quick setup in Houdini to get a root bone and retarget the animation back to the new rig. Small setback that is worth it in the end. #indiegamedev

Everyday is some sort of coding on this project. While I don't see immediate results, I know it is one step closer to my goal. #indiegamedev

I removed jumping from the game since most of it is in close areas, there is a kind of jumping which you pull yourself up into a crawlspace. I was wondering if vaulting over objects and rolling would be a better replacement? Trying to get player controller locked down first. #indiegamedev

Crouch has been enabled which I am still debating on which method to implement. Does the player hold the button or just tap the button and toggle crouch? Something I will have to test during the design phase. #indiegamedev #gamedev

We finally beat #Minecraft and the credits were around 35 minutes long. It was worth every second.

I am at a crossroads here with jumping in games. Some modern games have a jump and others don't have one at all. Is there a design choice to not have jump in a game? Besides not jumping in real life on a daily basis, what is the reasoning to not have it? Excluding FPS games. #indiegamedev #gamedev

I feel like the camera should be closer to the character when the environment is a hallway in order to create tension and anxiety while you are playing. When the camera was too far away I didn't feel immersed while I was testing the character controller. #indiegamedev

Camera movement for a Third Person character is tricky. Do you have the camera follow the players direction or do you make it independent with the right Joystick? Both are implemented for testing and I am not sure if this can be solved without knowing more game mechanics. #indiegamedev

Last night I was able to fix the controller drift that kept happening. A simple fix as I was using get_action_raw_strength instead of get_action_strength for my Input. That was an interesting fix. Now, it is all about trying to get the animation to play all the way through. #indiegamedev #godot

I finally figured out why the camera hasn't been switching to over the shoulder view from Third Person view due to one variable. Changes are checked in, logged out and now it is time to play some games. Specifically #Blippo+ #indiegame #gamedev 🎮 📺 🪐
