Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)


While we may be busy rewriting the game from the ground up (that's going wonderfully BTW) we have been looking into character customization but weren't really sure how to go about it until now. Either we would have to make tons of sprite sheets and give them each sets of animations which is just tedious.

Instead, we're going with a single set. All our character animations in one place. What we can do however is layer different character pieces on top of each other by overriding the base sprite sheet with pixel information from each set.

Further, in the week we will throw together a proper look at the concept but rest assured we're doing all we can to make a good game :P

Hi everyone, I wanted to put my project back out there after taking some time off. Fnafkit is a game about creating custom fnaf games with no need for programming. I'm also looking for anyone interested in helping out! https://gamejolt.com/games/TKFNAF/444860

Opinions on a new graphics style?

Wall height is being adjusted to accommodate things such as stages and lighting while also giving animatronics more breathing space.

I'm currently working on a new game with a team of people. Here's a mannequin being assaulted for test purposes. Gotta do what you gotta do for your damage systems.

Finally, you can sell the fruits/veg of your labour. :)

Tall walls are all modeled and intergrated into the engine and work seamlessly with the previous two wall styles. actual wall skins for this set are incoming. A new test build featuring these changes will follow up soon.

working on a new mechanic for the prototype. no need to wander over to those far away items when you can just send in your drone.

Our latest efforts have been rewriting our scene change code and with that comes some lovely transitions made using a greyscale image and a new shader.

I know it has been a while since the last update, but life got in the way. Here we can see how buttons can be customized and given functionality through the event system. More to come as the event system grows.

Buttons jump scare test shot
