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

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.

Asking the big questions today. We won't support changing your characters outfit or gender but you can give our beloved testguy a name. Character customization will come later, as it will take planning to get it as versatile as we want at the moment.

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.

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.

VERY early test of very basic systems in my new project. Do your work, keep the lights on, and everything will be fine. I really want to gush about some of the things not seen here, but will save that until they can be shown off. FnafKit who?

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.

Character bits! We're currently throwing together the character animation pieces for the new customization system :P

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.
